I'm going to link to the thread I put it on across the street because I CANNOT deal with pics on this board. I hope it isn't rude.

RoberB, RobertB... just another old guy daunted by technology?

Very Nice Coin.

[gunmoney-migration]

cool sixpence, mint mark bell 1603-1604

The legends are clear with no blundering and read:

(obverse) IACOBVS DG ANG SCO FRA ET HIB REX

(reverse) TVEATVR VNITA DEVS

 

Which translate/expand as

(obverse) James by the grace of God King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland

(reverse) God protect the Union
