THE DICKESON COPY OF THE SOMMERS ISLAND SHILLING

Regarding David Pickup's Hogge money shilling, Jonathan Brecher writes:

That Sommer Islands piece is a modern tourist trinket, worth nothing,

Pete Smith writes:

I am attaching images of a Dickeson copy of the Sommers Island Shilling. It has a quality of detail not seen on the copy shown in last week's E-Sylum.

There are probably many differences in the dies. One that jumps out at me is on the reverse with the ship. Look at the line from the flag on the left to the flag at the center. On the Dickeson copy, it curves. On the E-Sylum copy it is straight.

For comparison, here are David Pickup's piece followed by images of the Dickeson copy. Thanks! -Editor
