This specimen was lot 1627 in Sincona sale 82 (Zürich, May 2023), where it sold for 900 CHF (about US$1,205 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted, "Charles I. 1625-1649. 9 Pence 1646, Newark. Siege money. Selten (Rare). NGC XF Details. Leicht bearbeitet (Slightly tooled)." The besieged royalists also issued silver sixpence, half crowns and shillings. Altho these appear fairly regularly in auctions, high demand brings high prices.
