    python, the link won't let me in. Maybe it's for the best, I'd just get jealous.

    I LOVE that Philip and Mary shilling. One of these days I'll own one, one of these days.

    Nice coins, Python.

    I'm afraid to reveal my ignorance, but I'd forgotten about King Philip of Spain marrying into the British line. Could someone please refresh my memory of that? It wasn't too long after that that Queen Elizabeth refused to marry the Spanish king, and later defeated the Spanish Armada.

    I guess this whole inbreeding thing would have been avoided if the royals had deigned to marry commoners.

    excellent additions. The Philip and Mary Shillings are tough.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    the shilling is on the way and that's the one I cared most about.
