For Mac and Jester (Or anyone else)

The Stuarts

I am not Mac or Jester, but I still think those are great coins!

ajaan

Why did you look? You aren't Mac or Jester. Apologize to python.

I am.....uh.....sorry Python!

ajaan

Doesn't sound sincere to me. Send apology gold coin to me. I'll see that Brett gets it.

MacCrimmon

It's Jimmy and Chuck, and Jimmy Jr., and They of the Glorious Revolution, and of course, precious Anne....so sad.

Nicely centered Chuck II, and of course, you know I'm a sucker for Wm III.

And folks, if you think BS's coins look great on the net, they are at least twice as nice in person.

Dead King, do indeed send a hammered gold coin to me too to make up for your gross transgressions!!

Python, thanks for the virtual museum tour!!

What kind of weird growth does poor James have on his right jaw?

spoon

Wow! Awesome coins!

You almost tempted me to go British for a minute there

Aethelred, it's ok. I fixed the title so Ajaan will stop picking on you.

Ajaan, please be nice to Aethelred. This isn't the liteside you know.

ajaan

aw c'mon, all I was trying to do was get a free gold coin.

BS

It's hard to argue with that.

coinkat

great coins... what is the date on the William III? Looks to be a 6d

Udo

Now that everyone is allowed to look at the coins the only thing I have to say is:

These are wonderful coins, Phyton

Jester, no problem. I hope I remembering right, don't you and Mac have some family ties with the Stuarts?

The dot on the James I is the centering mark when they made the die.

Thanks, it's a 1700 sixpence.

Ah yes, I'm related to several Stuarts through many different paths...

One Captain John Stuart, an Indian Agent for auld King Geo. II took up with a part-Cherokee woman named Susannah Emory back in the 1750s, and hence the famous Cherokee clan called Bushyhead to this very day. Old Capt. John was a wild, red-haired Scotsman with a wilder curly shock of hair.

Then there were those pesky ancestoral Border Rats, the Hamilton clan, who saw 'security' in marrying up with King James IV of Scotland's daughter back in the 1450s or so, I think. In fact, James Hamilton (I forget which Earl #) was the Regent to Mary Queen of Scots before she was Queen, albeit briefly.

Yes, I'm a descendent of the royal line. Mac's lineage can probably be traced to some distant and not clearly legitimate rendezvous with some chambermaid.......

And I had no idea about the centering mark on the coin!! Learn something new every day. Why don't we see these on other coins?

Choose your Claymore, in-bred.

Hey, at least the chambermaid was a pretty lass . . . .

Suits me, border rat.....
