This specimen was lot 2878 in Goldberg sale 98 (Los Angeles, June 2017), where it sold for $1,880. The catalog description[1] noted, "Great Britain. Briot Sixpence, ND. Charles I, 1625-1649. Nicholas Briot's coinage, Second Milled issue (1638-9). Obverse: Detailed portrait of king left. Reverse: Square topped shield of arms. Mint mask anchor. Well struck with a delightful blue tone. As struck mint state and rare thus. NGC graded MS-63. WINGS." Charles' conflicts with Parliament and his subsequent inability to raise funds cramped the production of coin. The SCWC lists over two dozen different types of sixpences for Charles I. Nicholas Briot (c.1579-1646) attempted to introduce milled coinage in the 1630's but his efforts were stymied by the outbreak of the Civil War. Milled coinage was reintroduced in the 1670's but the hammered coin was not called in and melted until 1696-97.
