Auction: 22107 - Spink Numismatic e-Circular 17: Part I - A Gentleman's Collection of Crowns, Halfcrowns and Florins - e-Auction
Lot: 1050

George I (1714-27), Shilling, 1720 over 18, first laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right, rev. four crowned shields cruciform, roses and plumes in angles, seven strings to harp, milled edge, 5.97g, 6h (Bull 1570-R4; ESC 1167A; S.3645), struck slightly off centre [a recurring problem at this time], fine, a very rare overdate

This is a very rare overdate. The numbers have been carefully positioned, but the evidence is still clear. As well as the trace of the 8 inside the O, the need for the 2 to be placed directly over the 1 forces it into the crown.
