Okay - here are a couple of fun questions. Correct answers to both questions gets you a free submission to the grading service of your choice (you'll have to pay for the shipping to us). Answers via PM only please, and only one guess per person. And no dealers, please. I'll post the winner and the correct answers tomorrow (Wednesday).
First Question: Which British silver issue (date/denomination) was often gold plated and passed off as a half sovereign?
Second Question: What was the Shilling originally called, and during whose reign did it become known as the Shilling?
Good luck!
