The Dennis Beadell Collection of English Shillings and Other Coins comprises 213 lots of English shillings from Edward VI fine issue to the last currency issue in 1966. There are also 4 lots of miscellaneous items at the end.
It is essentially a fairly complete date run for the past 320 years together with a few date varieties and earlier items. These vary in grade from dire to as struck with most somewhere in the middle.
