I find your post interesting as my mate have just brought a Cromwell shilling dated 1658, it has the ( &c ) after HIB and looking through Spink all Cromwell's coins has this logo, surfing the net the only coin I can find with out it is a sixpence. Are you saying the coins in Spink was minted in 1738?

They're getting mighty pricey at the moment - I've always thought about getting one, just wished I'd bought one in the '90s when I started collecting...... |
