Anyone have a George III shilling they want to sell/trade?

I have a customer who is not a coin collector, but needs a George III shilling to give to his son for Christmas (why that particular coin is a long story I won't go into). I tried to steer him to the forum, but he is internet-challenged. So if anyone has one they want to sell or trade, please PM me.

Are you looking for the 1787 type or the 1816-20?

The 1816-20 Aethelred! You don't wanna scare the little boy with crude coinage

Then again, why would anyone want to scare people with George III at all???

This is a Christmas present for a kid who is not a numismatist, but won some kind of prize for a school project on G III. His father wants to give him a shilling So I'm thinking any date will do. I'm looking for something in the VG/F range.

If he really wants to knock his kid's socks off, he should get one of those cartwheels!

Yeah- a cartwheel would be sweet!

I have some George III stuff, but nothing spectacular. (In fact, nothing even close to decent, let alone spectacular!) Think I have some of the 1799-1807 halfpennies/pennies, but they're culls.

I even have an extra holey 1797 cartwheel penny! But it's crudely holed, and pretty slick.

You could show him an 1816 Halfcrown and the little fella might not be able to sleep for bad dreams!

Oh, I dunno- I see somebody else is using your old "Bullhead" icon you made from that halfcrown, Michael...
