This specimen was lot 71318 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, June 2021), where it sold for $264. The catalog description[1] noted, "GREAT BRITAIN. Shilling, 1750/46. London Mint. George II. PCGS AU-55 Gold Shield. Overdate variety. Very lightly handled and entirely wholesome, this near-Mint minor offers a deep cabinet tone and a clear representation of the overdate." This type was struck 1746, 1750-51, 1758. The mint did not produce near enough small change for the industrial boom of the eighteenth century, leading to a proliferation of private tokens. The situation would not be rectified until the reform of 1817.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
