Scotland (1637-42)-B 20 pence
The first specimen was lot 58396 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2024), where it sold for $432. The catalog description[1] noted, "SCOTLAND. 20 Pence, ND (1637-42). Edinburgh Mint. Charles I. NGC AU-58. Third coinage. Briot's milled issue, with "B" below portrait." Briot and Falconer both struck Scottish coins for Charles I and so some twenty pence bear a "B" (shown here), an "F" or both. This coin would have traded for an English silver penny. Scottish coinage ended in 1707 with the Act of Union. The second specimen was lot 76780 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, September 2025), where it sold for $192. The catalog description[2] noted, "SCOTLAND. 20 Pence, ND (1637-42). Edinburgh Mint. Charles I. NGC AU-55."
