1708E Shilling   3rd bust  (E below bust - Edinburgh)  Rev. Plain in angles

          Obv. GRATIA is widely spaced - A to back of Anne's hair bun.

 This is the other 1708 E bust

where the GRATIA is normal spacing (less than the above example).

          Date: Type H/8 (As per Spink English Silver Coinage)

          Edinburgh local issue.  Z type for 1 & narrower 0

          However, in ESC listed as date 8 over 7 - but no so in

          this example.

*This example has a very unusual die flaw running horizontally from

  the downward tip at the end of the 7 - across the leg and  into the

  crown - The effect is that the date could now be read as 1408 !

          Grade:  Fine
