Great Britain G91-2693r.jpg

This specimen was lot 2693 in Goldberg sale 91 (Los Angeles, June 2016), where it sold for $411.25. The catalog description[1] noted, "Great Britain. Sixpence, ND NGC AU50. Charles I, 1625-1649. Mint mark, Crown (1634-38). Obverse: Crowned portrait of the king with no inner circle surrounding. Reverse: Crown over oval shield of arms. This is a pretty coin with a light blue tone, good surfaces, and little if any wear. The cameo portrait of the ill-fated king is exquisite. NGC graded AU-50." This undated sixpence could be any one of five different SCWC numbers (KM 94 thru 98) but since the catalog did not include photos, we are baffled. Charles' conflicts with Parliament and his subsequent inability to raise funds cramped the production of coin. Milled coinage finally superseded the hammered coinage in 1664. However, the old hammered coin was not called in and melted until 1696-97.
