This specimen was lot 31093 in Heritage sale 3073 (Chicago, April 2019), where it sold for $960. The catalog description[1] noted, "James II Shilling 1685 AU55 NGC, Quite simply fascinating to find so well-preserved, one of only a handful of survivors to be certified at this level, with a mere 3 pieces reaching the Mint State level between NGC and PCGS combined. While highly subdued on the obverse, the tiniest bit of friction visible on the king's nose the strike appears an admirable achievement, forming radiant flow lines between the legends and rims in portions, and even breaking the die on the B of IACOBVS. Notably original despite some minimal rub, and fully alluring as such. Ex. Grosvenor Collection. From the Lake County Collection." This type was struck 1685-88 during James's short reign. Later shillings of William III are much more common.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
