Shilling of Charles I

Christopher Thornton asked for a valuation on this hammered silver coin, which he had already identified as a shilling of Charles I.

The coin has mint mark harp on both sides, which dates it to 1632-33.  It is an example of Tower group D, type 3.1 and has the fourth bust of Charles I on the obverse. On the reverse is a large shield with C to the left and R to the right.

Valuation

The obverse would grade Fair, the reverse about Fine. It is not unusual for Charles I shillings to be clipped but this specimen looks to be full weight. In its present condition my price range would be £30-40.
