This
coin is an example of a specimen striking of the six
shilling bank token of 1804 This coin is one of 1,000 specimen strikings on polished flans struck by Mathew Boulton in 1804. The currency issue of these coins were struck on Spanish American dollars and details of the undertype are occasionally visible. The heavy rim teeth also distinguish the specimens, the currency strikings usually do not have the rim teeth well struck up. The coin is in choice Uncirculated (UNC) condition and is a specimen striking. The specimen pieces are scarce in choice condition. Normal currency strikings are common but are also scarce in extremely fine or better condition. Pieces with a visible undertype but which does not detract from the coin's appearance are more desirable than pieces with no undertype visible. There were many contemporary counterfeits of these coins - these counterfeits regularly appear in sales. Many are clearly wrong as the underlying brass is showing through but some can still be deceptive. Hit your back button to return to the page you came from or select : |
