Welcome to the Forum Lee

To me it looks fake. An original 1 shilling is extremely rare and there were  many replicas and fantasy pieces produced.

Hi there, Lee. I’ve seen a lot of replicas of this coin, so I think it’s fake. 3 years have passed, so how’s it going now? What has this coin turned out to be? I genuinely hope it’s real. My friend, who works as a Mortgage Broker Luton, and I are real fans of coins collecting. You know, we compete each year. At the end of each year, we compare our coin collections. I won last year, so I hope I’ll win this year too. Anyway, keep the topic updated. Collecting coins is an extremely interesting hobby. So, good luck.

I just collect US and German coins, but WOW ... are they all that expensive? 

[DWLange]

Yes---quite rare and expensive.

Well, I guess I will not be starting a complete year/mint collection of those.

Now that I think about it I believe my brother used to deep dive shipwrecks in Bermuda to look for coins like that. Never found anything super rare/expensive like those, or if he did you could barely make out it was a coin.
