Totally brilliant find...I'm no match for the speed of JayReef but I did get Scottish and
early but was leaning towards David or Robert....I'll learn.
I can't find a picture of a better example than this so its really excellent!! B-)

Bri, I think you should get a photo of this to Martin at C-Scope, my goodness, you may get a free C-Scope cap!!

Sounds like a great idea have you got Martins web site address?
Thanks
Brian.

Big one for future,

stars = Scottish

triangles = Irish

And as you look at more coins you learn to read the legends

with this coin, the X at about 4 o'clock could only be an Alexander

on the reverse you can clearly see SCOTOR

go to ukdfd and type in the SCOTOR

the rest is look and match

Usefull info....add this to your sticky mate.....i did see scotor but had no idea what it was...and couldnt find the stars in me spinks book so that explains that aswell...

[Jayreef]

That's because spinks have a Scottish book also

Well i have sent a pic to Martin at c scope and told him that he can use this pic for an advert for the c scope 3mx. I am waiting for a reply I woke up smilling this morning and i still have not found a better example of this coin :O) will this need recording to FLO?

Lovely coin mate.

Jay, break this down please mate, I did get that it was scottish from reading about hammered but the rest still learning.
SCO-TOR-VIT-REX
SCO = scotland
TOR= land again maybe ?
VIT or VII = ?
REX= KIng

[bri_on_1]

i reckon £300, but could be out a bit

[bri_on_1]

Ive not had it valued yet but i have just sent them an e mail

[Jayreef]

i reckon £300, but could be out a bit

or NOT, valuation came in way lower than that

sorry
