This specimen was lot 75501 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, September 2025), where it sold for $840. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. 3 Pence, ND (1662-85). London Mint. Charles II. PCGS MS-62. Milled Type. From the Richard August Collection." This milled but undated issue is attributed to 1660-62 in the SCWC but the 1662-70 span cited in Numista makes more sense, as dated threepence with the monogram reverse were introduced in 1670.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 1.50 g, 0.925 fine silver, 17 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: S-3385; KM-282; ESC-592.
