-This specimen was lot 859 in UBS sale 85 (Zürich, September 2010), where it sold for 260 CHF (about US$297 including buyer's fee). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''GROSSBRITANNIEN, George I. 1714-1727, Shilling 1723. Drapiertes, belorbeertes Brustbild nach rechts. Rv. Vier gekrönte Wappen ins Kreuz gestellt, in den Winkeln SSC. Kl. Kr. Vorzüglich-FDC.''" ([[Great Britain]], George I (1714-27), shilling of 1723, draped and armored bust facing right; reverse: four crowned shields in cross pattern, SSC in angles of cross. Tiny scratches, Extremely Fine-Uncirculated).</blockquote> This type, struck 1723 only, was made from silver supplied by the South Sea Company, hence the "SSC."  [[Great Britain 1723 1/2 crown|Half crowns]] and [[Great Britain 1723 crown|crowns]] also exist marked "SSC." Numerous other varieties of shillings were struck in 1723, including two standard types (KM 539.1, struck 1715-23, and KM 558.2, struck 1723-27) and one from silver supplied by the Welsh Copper Company ([[Great Britain 1725-WCC shilling|KM 558.3]], struck 1723-26). The specimen shown here seems to be common, tho not in this quality.
