Broad and oddly out-of-round flan with good full cross-lions-castles and pillars-and-waves, full crown, matte surfaces with light toning all over. NGC #4709891-002. From the 1715 Fleet." The second specimen was lot 45 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 26 (Winter Park, FL, November 2019), where it sold for $4,760.
