England - Queen Elizabeth I Shilling (First Issue (1559 -1560) S-2549

Description

ATTENTION MINNESOTA RESIDENTS:
Thanks to Minnesota’s recent law regulating sales of “bullion coins” (see
the 17 July 2014 notice in CoinsWeekly online)
, I will
NOT
sell any silver or gold coins to Minnesota residents. If you are a Minnesota resident, I respectfully request that you do not bid on this item. If you are unhappy with this situation, please contact the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
This auction is for an
undated English shilling (S-2549) from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I; the lis mintmark places it in the first issue (1559-1560) of her reign. The planchet is entire with no evidence of clipping, but it appears to have been creased and straightened at some point. The obverse and reverse are rotated about 90 degrees in relation to each other -
see images.
If you win an auction, please do not submit payment until you receive an invoice, as postage/handling fees may vary depending on the final selling price and shipping destination. Also, as I usually set the shipping charges based on the maximum expected selling price, shipping charges may be reduced on the invoice if items sell for a lesser amount. Regardless, I always obtain proof of mailing for all shipments.
Combined shipping:
Multiple purchases from auctions that close within a 72-hour period may be combined for reduced postage (unless an item is unusually heavy or bulky, this will amount to US$.50 per additional auction item
,
based on the highest individual
item shipping cost). Please contact me immediately after winning an auction if you intend on any further bidding within this 72-hour window. Also, please contact me before paying if you do not receive a combined invoice for such multiple purchases. Payment is requested within three days of invoice receipt; non-payers will be reported to eBay after 10 days. If for any reason after receiving your item you feel that you cannot leave positive feedback, please contact me immediately.
I will ship without question to North America, western Europe, Japan, and Australia/New Zealand. As a general rule, I will not ship to Africa, Central America, China, much of the Middle East, Russia, or other countries formerly part of the Soviet Union; bidders wishing an exception to this policy, including those from other countries not otherwise mentioned, please contact me before bidding. Returns accepted only if the item received differs substantially from the auction description, and return is within 14 days of receipt; return postage is responsibility of buyer. In all cases, the item(s) received will be the item(s) in the auction photograph; in some instances it may be in a different holder, if the original one is too badly damaged.
In all cases where I offer a grading opinion, please use your own criteria if you decide to bid.
If you have any questions regarding this auction, please ask before bidding, and thank you for reading through all this!
