This specimen was lot 56705 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2024), where it sold for $1,140. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. 6 Pence, 1621. London Mint; mm: Rose. James I. NGC MS-62. From an Old Brooklyn Collection." For some reason, the sixpence was the only coin of James I that regularly bore dates. That is why we know that this type was struck 1621-24.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 3.01 g, 0.925 fine silver.
