Not the nicest coin, maybe the most worn in my set, but it will do until I get something in higher grade.

Bill and Mary

'kat, I've been looking for so long for a nice Bill and Mary at a decent price I finally had to settle for this one.

I had a farthing at FUN, but 'tweren't in much better grade than your halfcrown. Sold it on eBay. I think a forum member got it, but I'll be durned if I can remember who.

I have a fondness for these coins b/c 4 years after this coin came out, William and Mary set up the college that would later educate such great minds as Thomas Jefferson, and, well uh... me.

I try to pick up the 1693 coins when I see them for this reason.

I like William and Mary coins, but i'd have a hard choice picking between a choice Will and Mary coin and a choice James II coin. I'd probably take the latter, i like James II stuff, it's better than gold that stuff, especially if it's a guinea!

Aethelred · April 25, 2004 5:55AM

Mary looked like a man!

ajaan · April 25, 2004 5:58AM

I also need a James II.

<< <i>I also need a James II. >>

Don't we all! I have been looking for a nice sixpence for ages.

Then suddenly one crops up! but would you know it i was half way through buying an EF 1693 sixpence, i stand by my original choice.

Looks like i'm gonna have to give the 1686 a miss.

What about Queenie?

Looked like a MAN!
Most Kings in this era had lots of makeup, big wigs, and tights.
Give the girls a chance!

OK point taken

nice coins. Wow

Teg Welcome to the forum, Nice Entry!!

Sylvestius · April 25, 2004 7:24AM

And what about my friend Annabell? Does she look male?

Question is does James?

MacCrimmon · April 25, 2004 7:57AM

Annabel, our blessed last Stuart!

At 17 children, the olde boy from Denmark must have thought she was womanly enough, eh?

He called it (and I quote) "lovely". I'd neg him for that....

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder Lloyd.

python · April 25, 2004 8:58AM

Congrats Ajaan, I had a hard time finding one I liked too.

BTW,that ANACS VF35 turned out to be a good fine or so.

Does this mean you don't want my Stephen penny, Don?

ajaan · April 26, 2004 5:21AM

Josh, if you have another buyer for the Stephen, sell it. I can't make a decision on it until after the 1st of the month.

CIVITAS · April 26, 2004 1:39PM

No problem at all. Just razzin' ya. May not last long at CICF though.
