This specimen was lot 41558 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Costa Mesa, CA, August 2021), where it sold for $4,080. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Great Britain, Scotland|SCOTLAND]]. Silver Crown Pattern Restrike, "1716" (1828). James VIII (king-in-pretence). NGC MS-64. By M. Young (from the originals by N. Roettiers). Amber-gray toning with a charming strike and muted brilliance, this restrike stands as a delightful near-Gem offering of a coin that never was. In an attempt to regain the throne of his exiled father, James III/VIII (commonly styled as the "Old Pretender") commissioned Norbert Roettiers (son of the famous English engraver, John Roettiers) to create dies for a crown upon his invasion. When the invasion failed, the dies remained unused until Matthew Young utilized them to produce restrikes over 100 years later."
