Answer 1

A British 1745 silver Shilling (George II)(roses in angles), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £40 to £500 GBP.

A British 1745/3 silver Shilling (George II)(roses in angles), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £45 to £525 GBP.

A British 1745 silver Shilling (George II)(no roses in angles - LIMA below bust), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £30 to £450 GBP.
