This specimen was lot 32939 in Heritage sale 3073 (Chicago, April 2019), where it sold for $252. The catalog description[1] noted, "Charles II 6 Pence ND (1660-1662) VF30 NGC, Tower mint, Crown mm, Third Issue, Stronger in the center of the obverse than is usually found, the surfaces appearing to the viewer as quite original, the dies clearly well-polished, and the whole of the strike only mildly off-center." Oliver Cromwell's death in 1659 left a leadership vacuum which was quickly filled by inviting prince Charles back from exile to become Charles II. The first series of silver coins of his regime reverted to the old practice of not dating them and come in denominations of penny, halfgroat, threepence, groat, sixpence, shilling and halfcrown. When milled coinage was introduced in 1663, copper coinage was produced for the first time since before the Civil War.
