  Great Britain. James I (1603-25) silver crown. Thistle mm on both sides, as used during the period 1621-23. 3rd Coinage of 1619-25. Plume over Shield on reverse. S-2664, grass ground line. Choice AU (what the English collector more conservatively calls "EF"). Bold horseman, especially on the king's face; the shield and legends on both sides are also sharply impressed. The flan or planchet is also almost fully round, which is exceptional, and there is only a small edge incursion at 6:30 obverse, as made, as opposed to the typical piece showing multiple splits into the design. Overall, a lovely specimen, enhanced by old-time, premium gray toning with iridescent lilac hues. Finer than the Spink book's plate coin, which says a lot about how exceptional this coin is.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 6,000.

Lot 1924
  Great Britain. Halfcrown, ND (1631-39). Charles I, 1st Milled halfcrown, by Nicholas Briot, who experimented on behalf of the Royal Mint with roller-dies and produced some magnificent coins but also engendered the enmity of the mint's hammered-coin makers; they would soon be out of work if these splendid new coins became the order of the day. They did not, Briot was sent back to France, and the hammerers remained employed for another thirty years until new milling machinery put them all on the dole for good. This halfcrown is an example of the 1st milled issue, minted 1631-32 with flower and double "BB" initial mark, and the king on horseback. S-2853. It is the finest example seen by this cataloguer. Choice Uncirculated, absolutely perfect original blue-gray toning, bold strike for type. Very rare in this outstanding state of preservation. PCGS graded MS-62.

  Great Britain. Halfcrown, ND (1631-1639). Charles I, 2nd Milled halfcrown, by Nicholas Briot. Here is the perfect complement to the previous coin, a splendid example of Briot's 2nd milled issue, minted during the year 1638-39 with anchor and single "B" initial mark, and the king on horseback. S-2858. An astonishing coin purchased about 15 years ago from Patrick Finn, then still at Spink's in London. Finn called it the finest specimen he had ever seen, and the only example he would describe in old-fashioned terms as "FDC." This coin is truly stunning, one of a kind in quality, and also probably the finest known Briot halfcrown. Struck from roller-dies imported by Briot for his famous experimental coinage. Superb Choice Uncirculated, full strike on a wondrous flan, rich shimmering bluish gray toning. PCGS graded MS-64.

Lot 1926
  Great Britain. Proof Halfcrown, 1658. Oliver Cromwell. S-3227A. Grained edge. Here is the ideal "mate" for the exceptional shilling offered in this sale. Our comments made in that lot pertain equally to this halfcrown, except that here is truly a magnificent specimen. It is the only Cromwell halfcrown the cataloguer has seen that he feels is a Specimen or Proof. The majority of Cromwell's silver coins, in nice enough condition, do exhibit some prooflike surface qualities; they may have been struck from the same dies as this coin, but the detail and striking quality here, in this piece, are so extraordinary that it would appear it was struck more than once, on a blank or planchet that was especially well made. The suggestion begs to be made that this coin could have been prepared for inspection by Oliver himself, although of course no evidence exists. How could it? The best evidence, in fact, could be this very coin, exhibiting absolutely marvelous, original silvery gray iridescent surfaces which are essentially flawless. Nothing else like it has ever crossed before the cataloguer's eyes, not in 25 years of working with the finest British coins. Purchased for Dr Terner from the private collection of a London dealer some 20 years ago, it has never had a "public appearance" prior to being in this auction. Superb, the finest known. PCGS graded Specimen 65.

Lot 1927
  Great Britain. Proof Shilling, 1658. Oliver Cromwell. S-3228. Grained edge. An extraordinary coin! The cataloguer has been working with rare English coins since 1972; in that time period, he has seen every known version of the Cromwell coinages. Of all those, the majority are slightly circulated or handled coins (many were carried in pockets or purses by those loyal to Cromwell) and some have been well used, even abused after Cromwell fell from power. Generally speaking, the best coins of this period to be found are nice AU pieces, what the British call "Good EF." True Uncirculated coins are rarely seen. However, the shilling in this lot goes a step beyond "mere" Uncirculated, and is one of the most beautiful examples encountered; the cataloguer would guess it is among the finest of Cromwell's silver coins extant, a Proof or Specimen in pristine condition, sparkling with original luster and age-old, premium iridescent toning. Extremely rare and largely overlooked as a Specimen. Here is a major opportunity for the advanced collector to acquire the best there is. Worth a runaway price! Superb Choice Proof. PCGS graded Specimen 64.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,500.
Historical note: Cromwell was popular among a portion of the then-ruling class, during the period of England's revolution, known as the Commonwealth, which lasted from the execution of King Charles I in 1649 through the Restoration of the monarchy, in the form of the murdered king's son, Charles II, which came in 1660. For the first years of what was to be a new form of government, in which the Parliament had "first say" in matters formerly those of the king's decision-making prerogatives, the new coinage was entirely non-regal, and also fairly crude as it was made by the old-fashioned hammer method. At the end of his life, Cromwell consented to having his portrait on the coinage, even though he had always rejected the notion of making him king. He preferred the title Lord Protector, in what was in fact the first real movement towards modern democracy in Great Britain; for, following his demise, Parliament would forever have the primary decision-making powers, formerly those of the monarch, and the titular ruler of England would thereafter have only "stamp of approval" powers, the actual governing of the nation going to the new Prime Minister and his cabinet. Beginning in 1656, however, a new coinage appeared for the waning Lord Protector, with designs and engraving done by Thomas Simon, who would go down in history as perhaps the most masterful coin-engraver of all time. When the Loyalists and Charles II came back to power in 1660, Simon would face personal trials (not legal ones) for having lent his talents to the Commonwealth, resulting in the most famous of all British coins, the Petition Crown, which Charles II rejected despite its marvelous engraving. Thus, for most collectors, the height of Simon's accomplishments in metal, that can be owned, are the coins of Oliver Cromwell.

  Great Britain. Proof Sixpence, 1658. Oliver Cromwell. A major rarity created and struck (in very limited numbers) in 1738 by Royal Mint engraver J.S. Tanner to fulfill collector demand for a coin which, even then, was impossible to locate--the original 1658 sixpence by Thomas Simon. This is probably the finest known example, and it traces to a old-time collection of impeccable taste. Gem Proof, perfectly struck on a superb flan, and enjoying rich medium bluish gray toning. Ex Norweb Collection. Also most probably ex Brice, for this specimen possesses a tiny red wax dot hidden in Cromwell's hair, which was Brice's "collector mark." An important 17th-century rarity, with very few known in all grades, and delightful to the eye. PCGS graded Proof 65.

  Great Britain. Halfcrown, 1689. William & Mary, jugate busts. S-3434. "PRIMO" edge. A spectacular example, which is very rare in this exalted grade. Relatively few collectors have owned this coin for the past hundred-plus years; obviously, because of its quality, it has been treasured. Ex Ludlow sale of Nov. 17, 1889. A few minute abrasions beneath the wonderful color are all that separate this coin from perfection. The finest William & Mary coin, of any kind, ever seen. Fit for the world's finest British collection. Superb Choice Uncirculated with lovely, delicate gold iridescent toning over a rich, original silvery gray base; also very boldly struck. PCGS graded MS-64.

Lot 1931
  Great Britain. Shilling, 1693. William & Mary, jugate busts. S-3437. KM-480. Extensive experience has proven an old truth in British numismatics: that the coins of William & Mary, joint rulers with both portraits, are among the hardest to find in high grade in the entire milled series. That is fact. Dr Terner obtained a number of guineas, including great rarities (sold in our previous auction, in May 2003), and in this sale we present two wonderful half-guineas, and a stunning halfcrown. Perhaps rarer still, however, is the "lowly" silver shilling series, which was very short. In fact, only two dates occur, 1692 and 1693. The cataloguer aggressively pursued these shillings for years and years, only once in a while locating a high-end coin. This specimen has to be among the finest known. While PCGS has called it Uncirculated, many in the UK will object, claiming it shows slight rub, or cabinet friction. Whether it does or not, it is certainly "up there" in the ranks of this coinage's hall of rarity. The surfaces have no marks and are toned a beautiful, 17th-century silver and gray, and show some delicate iridescence as well. The strike could be better, but still this coin stands out as a classic rarity. PCGS graded MS-61.

  Great Britain. Shilling, 1697. William III. 3rd Bust. S-3505. One of the finest shillings of this era ever seen. Most known pieces, even in Uncirculated, show flaws and are rather poorly struck with dull luster. Purchased to study the difference in the portrait from that on the guineas of this era. Superb Choice BU, blazing luster on a flan which is far superior to most seen. Long diebreak extends horizontally down the king's face, and others appear in his name in Latin. PCGS graded MS-63.

  Great Britain. Sixpence, 1697. William III. S-3531. Many Uncirculated and almost Uncirculated pieces exist, because 1697 was the year of the Great Recoinage, when the citizens of Great Britain could turn in old, worn silver, even damaged and partial coins, in exchange for these pieces. Having said that they are plentiful, it should be equally emphasized that the vast majority of known coins of this date and design type were rather poorly made, or were poorly struck from grease on the dies, or have black tin flecks on them, and are not very attractive. Few remain with the sparkle and wonderful surfaces and strike exhibited by this specimen. Superb Choice BU, blazing luster, especially sharp and clear strike! PCGS graded MS-63.

Lot 1936
  Great Britain. Proof Shilling, 1699. William III. 4th Bust ("flaming hair"). Plain edge. S-3515. Curiously, this coin is listed in the 2004 Spink guidebook as having a value of just 3,000 Pounds in "FDC." However, it came with a Spink ticket reading "F.D.C. R8." It is very possibly R8, as a previous Spink cataloguer had noted on their ticket: just one or two known. This cataloguer has never seen another, in 25 years of examining British coins. Typical of the rarely seen Proofs of this era, it is very thick-looking because of an irregular edge-upsetting; at one point on this coin, the edge is extra-thick, which caused a die-bulge on the reverse near the extra-high rim at that point. An important piece as a 17th-century Proof, but more than that it's in fantastic condition with slightly iridescent and beautiful bluish gray toning and, incredibly, intact mirror surfaces. Delightful, super-rare, and worthy of a museum! PCGS graded Proof 64.

  Great Britain. Halfpenny, 1719. George I. 2nd Issue. S-3660. KM-557. Peck-791: listed as "Excessively Rare." For study purposes, we found it interesting to compare this piece to the Proof 1717 in this sale, and the opportunity to do so is almost as rare as the coins. Seldom have these two pieces been brought together in one place. While the quality of this coin pales in comparison to the glorious Gem Proof 1717, nonetheless it has its own charm, and may well be the finest known of its variety. No blemishes. Nice rims and edge. Just a little ancient wear! Delightful chocolate-copper color! Far rarer than, for instance, the major U.S. copper rarities, but priced a pittance by comparison. PCGS graded AU-58.

  Great Britain. Proof Shilling, 1746. George II, Old laureate Head. Engrailed edge. S-3704. Mintage: about 100 sets prepared for museums and aristocratic collectors by the Royal Mint in 1746; in fact, this year was the first full set of silver Proofs ever created for numismatists. Dr Terner loved early Proofs and always felt they were far from fully appreciated, in terms of price. The engraving is fully shown in well-saved Proofs, of course, but more important to him was the buying opportunity created by the rarity of choice pieces, as almost all seen in the market, and over many years in the London sales rooms, are impaired to one extent or another. Thus a particularly nice specimen seemed a bargain compared to the similar prices for which impaired pieces regularly sold. The piece in our last Terner sale sold for $3,105 which still seems a bargain considering the significance and beauty of this coin, showing the old king with a "lion face" epaulet in the armor on his shoulder, together with the charming periwig on his head, so typical of men's fashion in the 1740s. Here again is an exceptional coin! very choice, rich silvery gray surfaces with some pale blue iridescence. Very rare! PCGS graded Proof 64.

  Great Britain. Lima Sixpence, 1746. George II, Old laureate and draped Bust. S-3710A; KM-582.3. This is one of the finest examples seen of the Lima-hallmarked sixpence, which was coined from silver seized at sea by Admiral Anson on his global voyage in search of Spanish treasure. It's a great sea story, told many times in many sources, and fictionalized by Patrick O'Brian in the novel called "The Golden Ocean." The specie taken by Anson had been mined at the rich silver town of Lima, Peru, and was enroute to Spain when it was captured by the British and shipped to Portsmouth, where a great enclave of Englishmen met it and the returned navalmen. The silver specie was minted into sixpence, shillings, halfcrowns and crowns; the small amount of gold, into half-guineas, guineas and five-guineas. Most of the coins were readily spent during the era; few of any denomination survive today in this remarkably fresh condition. Superb Gem Uncirculated, splendid light silvery gold iridescent surfaces, and super-sharp in strike. PCGS graded MS-66.

  Great Britain. "Northumberland" Shilling, 1763. S-3742; KM-597. George III, Young laureate Bust. An English classic, struck only this one year and reputedly distributed in Ireland as a sort of political advertisement of its day. Distinctive in style, as no other shilling was made until 1787 featuring a much different, older portrait of the king. Dr Terner found these fascinating as the portrait on the 1787 piece of course resembles that on the Spade guinea, while the Northumberland portrait is essentially that of the rare first guineas of 1761 to 1764, although a draped cloak covers the king's shoulders on this silver coin. Of all the pieces seen over the years, the cataloguer rates this at the very top as among the two or three finest in quality.

  Great Britain. Pattern Shilling, 1764. George III. Plain edge. ESC-1238 (R2: very rare); KM-Pn44. Engraved by Yeo or Tanner. Attribution of designer is uncertain because the dies were unsigned, also because the portrait resembles two different coins, each by a different engraver: the pattern guinea of 1765 by Richard Yeo (WR-88) as well as the pattern 5 guineas of 1770 by John Tanner (WR-76). Yet, neither of those signed patterns shows the king with a draped bust, as on this pattern shilling. Hence the confusion. Nonetheless it's a marvelous pattern of elegant design, the very picture of its age! Superb Choice Proof with glittering mirror fields and a subtle cameo portrait. The toning is a beautiful, medium grayish blue with hues of golden iridescence. Dr Terner obtained this coin about fifteen years ago from a collection long held in South Africa, and this piece was believed to have been purchased from the old Seaby firm in the 1950s.

  Great Britain. Pattern Shilling, 1787. George III. ESC-1241. Plain edge. Border of dots on each side. Regular Proofs are seen with some frequency in the London sales rooms, but most of them that pass through the auctions, and then dealers' hands, are impaired. This stands to reason, considering the traditional method of storing coins in England, in trays with wood bases, sometimes felt-covered. Even today, it's normal to see dealers and collectors in the UK holding Proofs roughly, rubbing surfaces with fingers. Such practices have caused the vast majority of British Proofs, and "Uncirculated" coins as well, to acquire, at the very least, loads of hairlines and contaminants which have spoiled their surfaces. The present coin is rarer than the usual Proof and is also one of the few truly well-preserved examples this cataloguer has seen. Superb Choice Proof, richly toned with silvery gray surfaces that are almost flawless. A charming coin! Purchased for study purposes. PCGS graded Proof 64.
