This specimen was lot 42054 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2026), where it sold for $2,880. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Great Britain|GREAT BRITAIN]]. Newark (besieged). 9 Pence, 1645. Charles I. PCGS EF-40. Variety with NEWARKE spelling. The SCARCER of the two spelling varieties of this lozenge-shaped Civil War emergency issue. Quite wholesome, the present example is problem free with some iridescence when cradled under light. From the John P. Burnham Collection. Ex: Coin Galleries (11/1986) Lot # 553." Charles' conflicts with Parliament erupted into open war in 1642. One of Parliament's first acts after Charles fled London was to seize the Tower Mint. In response, Charles opened branch mints to provide coin to pay his forces. Some of the mints were shortlived, as an army stopped for a few weeks to reequip but Oxford, Shrewsbury and Bristol operated for several years. In Newark, the besieged royalists also issued silver sixpence, [[Great Britain (1645-46) shilling|shillings]] and half crowns. Altho these appear fairly regularly in auctions, high demand brings high prices.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.
