WG-3375: 1820 George III Full Silver Crown. LX edge. £34

WG-4765: 1820 George III Full Silver Crown – Enamelled Brooch. Beautifully done at the time and a particularly early example of this kind of artwork, being much more prevalent in the later Victorian period. Some light damage to the enamel at 11 o’clock. Certainly a striking piece. £99

Half Crowns

WG-3532: 1819 George III Silver Half Crown. Something of an unflattering depiction! £19

Shillings

WG-4445: 1763 Northumberland & Dublin George III Shilling. Struck in silver by the Earl of Northumberland (Lord Lieutenant of Ireland) for distribution in Ireland in 1763. There is a story that states the 1763 was limited to only £100 face value. The issue filtered back to England and was used rarely as currency. This coin is better than VF and toned. Ex Spink. Rare. £749

WG-3070: 1787 George III “King’s Shilling”. Guilded, looped thus cherished at some point in history – maybe as a result of it being the King’s Shilling – a memento of the conscription and future adventures to come? £45

WG-2973: 1816 George III Silver Shilling. High grade. £39

WG-3059: 1817 George III Silver Shilling. Middle grade. £19

WG-4572: 1772 George III Maundy Silver Twopence. Nice grade and rarer over-date variety. £49

WG-4819: 1776 George III Maundy Silver Groat. Very nice grade coin with “the” date. £85

WG-3322: 1776 George III Maundy Silver Penny. High grade coin. Ignore the price guide as this is a coin that seldom turns up and when it does, it invariably goes straight to America because of the date. £85

WG-4601: 1780 George III Maundy Silver 1d. Rarest date of all the pennies and amazingly well struck. £54

WG-3440: 1780 George III Maundy Silver 2d. Nice grade. £39

Copper etc

Twopences

WG-4327: EF or Better 1797 Cartwheel Twopence. Outstanding grade coin having minor bag marks and minimal cabinet wear only. Attractive even toning. A very large English copper coin that rarely turns up in this grade. £375 at EF in 2008 Spink. £199

WG-4897: 1797 Gilt-Proof George III Cartwheel Twopence. High grade (EF) with a few contact marks. Stamped “MATTHEW ROBINSON 1800”. There is a test mark on the outside rim (1 o’clock) where someone thought there was a chance this was a gold proof. 2009 price for the gilt proof 2d is £1750. A rare find as well as an interesting find with the dated stamp. £285

Pennies (see also USA section)

WG-2692: 1797 Cartwheel Penny. Unusual contemporary silvering, most of which remains. £13

WG-2561: 1807 Large George III Penny. A lovely looking coin at a cheaper price. £22.50

WG-3774: 1813 Isle of Man Copper Penny. Getting towards EF for issue. Rarer denomination and rare in this grade. £89

Halfpennies

WG-4863: 1771 George III Copper “Smuggler’s Box” Halfpenny. Regal Soho issue, high grade. At some point in history someone (probably an apprentice metal worker) has taken x2 coins to create what you see before you. I have seen Victorian and later bronze pennies fashioned into boxes (no threads) as well as the usual 1797 Cartwheel smuggler’s boxes but I have never seen it done on such an early date coin! And I have certainly never seen the obverse legend left intact as it is here. This coin is threaded to facilitate a screw closure, although it is a delicate procedure as the rim is so thin compared to the Cartwheel issues. The grade is high and the colour is superb – a glorious chocolate colour that can not be reproduced. A wonderful example of just what our ancestors could do! This is a piece of history as well as a very tactile object in itself. £185

WG-3758: 1773 George III Copper Halfpenny. Regal Soho issue. £19

WG-3611: 1786 Isle of Man George III Halfpenny. 1^st issue, soft metal thus good grade. £39

WG-2691: 1813 Isle of Man George III Halfpenny. Cartwheel type. £19

“Other”

WG-4621: 1809 George III Jubilee Medal – Large. 25^th October 1809 – “…beloved by his people…”. Little more than a year later, the king was effectively replaced by his son, the future George IV, the Prince Regent. A white metal medal, pierced but in remarkably good grade for this type. £45

WG-3782: x5 George II + III "Shop Weight" Copper Coins. x3 Cartwheels & x2 halfpennies including a stunning example that has been fashioned into an octagon. Shopkeepers used these copper coins as ready made weights (Cartwheel pennies weighed exactly 1 ounce). An interesting group showing a small historical window on the early corner shop phenomena upon which England was built (according to a certain historical Frenchman!!). £24
