Old English Silver #SteemSilverGold https://image.ibb.co/ceZnz6/Blackbeard.jpg Hi all @SteemSilverGold https://image.ibb.co/ir6vmm/craltx.jpg I thought I’d share some photos of my old English silver – I‘ll explain at the end of the post why I used the infamous Pirate, Black Beard. First I’d like to point out that most countries coinage before the 20th century is made with Silver Ag, In my case, I noticed in the US, they have a lot of it still in circulation, so I decided to research British Silver coinage and discovered that all coinage before 1920 is .925 (92.5% sterling silver) and from 1920 – 1946 is .500 (50% sterling silver). https://image.ibb.co/jUo0mm/bcloo.jpg These photos show Half Crowns and Crowns https://image.ibb.co/mT5wRm/cral.jpg The following are weights of old British silver coins - Threepence (1.4g) Sixpence (2.83g) Shilling (5.65g) Florin (11.31g) Half Crown (14.14g) Double Florins (1887-1890) (22.6g) Crown (28.28g) https://image.ibb.co/f5R6sR/calx1.jpg From my perspective old British silver coins are grossly undervalued, when you consider that these coins have real historical value, and being a bit of a student of history, I would often think about the types of people who used them and the places they must have travelled to – https://image.ibb.co/evBZe6/galleon.jpg The British Empire spanned the world and controlled the high seas for the best part of 300 years, the UK has produced both Silver and Gold in the past, but the amounts were minimal, so this would suggest that although they would have obtained it through trade a lot of it would have come from piracy and robbery. I do know a lot was taken from the Spanish, French and the Chinese in the opium wars. We hope you Enjoyed Please Remember to Upvote Resteem and Follow @blackrussian

Interesting! I once read that the first large gold transports to Europe were from the Portuguese who traded this in Mali after which in Antwerpen ( now in Belgium) trade with Dutch meatt the Dutch got a lot of gold. Sivler came from middle europe (thalers/daalders). The Dutch then lost a lot of gold some hundred years later (VOC time) to the British fleat. We do forgive them as we stole a lot as well ...from the Espanoles.

Thanks Friend @goldrooster - Gold and Silver has traded hands a lot of times throughout history, sometimes fairly, other times not so - its a fascinating subject - Thank you again for your reply ;-)

Edward Teach, Blackbeard, settled in Bath, North Carolina and received a royal pardon. East Carolina University has as its mascot, the Pirate, in his honor.

Thank You :-) @handofzara - I really appreciate this info, I bet he had a fair bit of Silver stashed/buried some where ;-)

I used to save pre 1946 coins when I was a kid, and they were still in circulation, a nice trip back in memory, but I cannot remember what happened to the coins I saved.

Great stack of the Old English Silver. Coins with history are a little more interesting than the shinny new stuff.
