Really nice coins and not easy to find original
Congratulations and thanks for sharing 😊

Incredible group! I have always had an affinity for those early early milled coins. Some of my favorites:
A really nice example of what I would want in a Briot's shilling. One day I may have one to match.
This one is interesting and I haven't noticed the design style before. If I have possibly just not as high grade. The designs feel very lumpy and less sharp than others.
Only just passed on this one myself. Incredible condition for a Scottish piece. I've not that much experience in this area but I know it's nicer than any I've seen.
