Reverse: Oval shield with C R to sides. A pleasant round coin with a strong portrait, and another of the small group of pre-Civil War gold pieces here offered. A little weakness of striking is evident on the obverse, scratches on reverse, although the obverse mint mark is exceptionally crisp. On the plus side, the coin has a fresh overall look and much original luster. Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

The reverse mint mark is (plain) bell. Left-facing portrait of King with plain top to crown and lace collar. Reverse: Oval shield with crowned C R to sides. This specimen has a good portrait of the monarch, lots of original luster and only a tiny area of metal stress behind Charles' crown. A pleasingly well centered coin which has a catalogue value of £1100 in Very Fine, but remains unpriced in the higher grades. The mint mark pinpoints the date of production as 1634-1635. This coin was minted just a few years before the start of the English Civil War. NGC graded AU-50. Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,800. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3673		Great Britain. Unite, ND. S.2692; Fr-246. Charles I, 1625-1649. Group D. Fourth bust. Bust type 5 (1636-1638). Mint mark tun, which unusually, has been overstruck on a crown, on both sides of this coin! Another example of this overstriking is unknown. Left-facing portrait of King with plain top to crown, and lace collar. Reverse:Oval shield with crowned C R to both sides. This is a nice specimen with a possibly unique mint mark. Made during the period leading up to the Civil War, these large gold coins were usually crudely struck. Some tiny 'stretch marks' in the metal before the King's portrait barely detract from this good looking coin. Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold

Crowned portrait of King with ruff. Reverse: Oval shield with C R at sides. A quality coin with a remarkable portrait and only a little of the striking weakness to which these early 17th century gold coins were prone. Struck between 1631 and 1632, this piece has some hints of original color and substantial eye appeal. NGC graded AU-50. Estimated Value $1,650 - 1,850. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3676		Great Britain. Gold Double Crown, ND. S.2702; Fr-247. Charles I, 1625-1649. Tower Mint under the King. Group D. Fourth bust. Mint mark harp. Bust type 6. Portrait of King with jewelled crown and collar. Reverse:Oval shield with C R at sides. Scarce in high grade. A superb coin which glistens with original luster and has great eye appeal. Very detailed and generally sharply struck, with only a small area of weakness of striking (as is often the case) below the king's collar and corresponding on the reverse design. The mint mark harp signifies that the coin was produced in the period 1632-1633. Choice Extremely Fine. ** These coins were struck in interesting times. In the early years of his reign, Charles I was faced with the alternative of obtaining parliamentary funding and having his policies questioned by argumentative Parliaments who linked the issue of supply to remedying their own grievances, or conduction a war without subsidy from Parliament. Charles dismissed his 4th Parliament in 1629 and decided he could survive without its advices or the taxes that it alone could grant legally. Although opponents later called the following years the 'Eleven Years Tyranny' the King was technically within his royal prerogative in attempting to rule without Parliament. Charles' advisers were generally despised, but they were quite efficient. For much of the 1630's Charles gained the income he needed from forced loans, wardships, impositions, exploitation of forest laws and ship money - a form of tax or fine extended in 1635 from the ports to the whole of the nation. The measures alienated many of the King's natural supporters. A riot in Edinburgh in 1637, because of religious impositions, led to rebellion in Scotland, and faced with the mammoth task of subduing the Scots, the King recalled Parliament. The 'Short Parliament' of 1640 questioned Charles' request for funds to fight the Scots and after a few weeks was dissolved. In November 1640 the King was forced to call another Parliament (The 'Long Parliament') and inevitable conflict with this Parliament led to the English Civil War. Estimated Value $1,750 - 2,000.

Lot 3677		Great Britain. Gold Crown, ND. S.2715; Fr-248. Charles I, 1625-1649. Tower Mint. Ornate (fourth) bust of King wearing lace collar facing left. Mark of value (V = 5 Shillings) behind head. Reverse: Oval crowned shield with C R at sides. This is a pretty coin, well centered and well struck up, with a good cameo portrait of the controversial monarch. This coin was struck around 1635 in the relatively peaceful period before the start of the bloody English Civil War. It is interesting to note that 1635 was also the year that the Boston Latin School - the oldest school in the United States - was founded in Massachusetts. NGC graded EF-45.

Lot 3678		Great Britain. Unite, 1651. S.3208; Fr-269. Commonwealth, 1649-1660. Mint mark sun. shield of England enclosed within a wreath. Legend: THE COMMONWEALTH OF ENGLAND. Reverse: Shields of England and Ireland conjoined, with date above and legend GOD WITH VS. Mark of value (XX Shillings) above shields. A beautifully round specimen with the design and lettering well struck. This piece has a pleasing old red tone which sits well upon the original luster. A tiny bit of flan flaking (so often evident on these rare gold coins) can be seen on the reverse shields. This is a rarer date than the 1653 Unite. Commonwealth gold coins are usually found in poor state. This is exceptional. NGC graded AU-55. ** After the execution of Charles I in 1649, Oliver Cromwell moved swiftly to declare England a republic or 'The Commonwealth of England'. Cromwell was quick to curb any opposition within the young republic, and in 1649 he executed the leaders of the Levellers (an influential democratic party in the English Civil War) following their demand for radical social and political reform. He crushed Irish resistance in 1649-1650 and defeated the Scots, who had acknowledged Charles I's son as King, at Dunbar in 1650 and again at Worcester in 1651. But the people of Britain became wary of the tough puritanical ways of the Commonwealth of England and saw Cromwell's response to opposition as increasingly similar to that of Charles I. The monarchy had now been replaced by a system which in some ways was more unpleasant! The coins of the Commonwealth are scarce and especially so in high grade. Perhaps they are now more widely collected because they are from a unique era in British history. Certainly, in their plain splendour, and with the legends in English (the authorities associated Latin with Catholicism and the influence of the Pope) they resemble no other English coins. Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $14,950
Lot 3679		Great Britain. 5 Guineas, 1680. S.3331; Fr-281. Charles II, 1660-1685. Second laureate bust of King facing right, with rounded truncation. Reverse: Small crowned shields and sceptres. The Charles II Fine Guineas is not especially rare in lower or average condition, but it is exceptionally rare in top grades. Beautifully struck and with prooflike fields, this specimen certainly never saw circulation. It would be very difficult to find a finer specimen. NGC graded MS-61. **King Charles was born at St James's Palace on May 29th 1630. He succeeded as King of England, Scotland and Ireland after the execution of his father Charles I on January 30th 1649, but within a few days Oliver Cromwell and the Rump Parliament abolished the monarchy. After several years in exile Charles II eventually became King in May 1660, and reigned until his death 25 years later. Charles was a tall handsome man with a dark complexion, a face deeply lined by the traumas of his early years, a thin moustache and a profusion of dark shoulder-length hair. His profile is exquisitely portrayed on this magnificent coin. The King was a pragmatist and a survivor who vowed never to repeat the mistakes of his father. A popular monarch he was alert, affectionate, garrulous and self-indulgent, often reminding his brother James (later James II) that he had 'no wish to go on his travels again'. The Five Guinea was a new denomination of 'milled' coin which was first struck in 1668, in the early part of Charles II's reign. In 1663 the ancient hand hammering method was finally replaced by the machinery of Blondeau and the brothers John and Joseph Roettier engraved the dies. The larger coins (including this one) were inscribed 'DECVS ET TVTAMEN' in raised edge lettering - translated as ' AN ORNAMENT AND SAFEGUARD' - a protection against the clipping of precious metal from the coin's edge. The Five Guinea was valued at 5 Pounds and it was not until some years later that it was increased in value to £5 and 5 Shillings. The reign of Charles II saw many numismatic 'firsts'. The five, two, one and half guinea coins were introduced, a proper regal copper coinage was issued for the first time in 1672, and Maundy Money was first produced for general circulation.

Lot 3680		Great Britain. Guinea, 1680. S.3344; Fr-287. Charles II, 1660-1685. Fourth rounded bust. Laureate head of King facing right. Reverse: Crowned cruciform shields. A handsome coin with much original luster evident. Needless to say, all Charles II Guineas are difficult to find now in the higher grades. Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated.

Lot 3681		Great Britain. Guinea, 1680. S.3344; Fr-287; KM-440.1. Charles II, 1660-1685. 4th laureate bust, no symbol. Minor scrape on reverse, decent hair detail. PCGS graded EF-45. Estimated Value $1,750 - 2,250. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 3682		Great Britain. 5 Guineas, 1687. S.3397; Fr-292. James II, 1685-1688. Laureate bust of King facing left. Reverse: Crowned cruciform shields, sceptres in angles. Edge reads in raised lettering: DECVS ET TVTAMEN ANNO REGNI TERTIO. A very pleasing specimen with no areas of weakness and all lettering and design nicely struck. There is a rich orange/gold tone in the lettering, and in the fields a certain prooflike quality. It is no exaggeration to say that Five Guineas are becoming more difficult to obtain as each month passes. It seems that collectors now really appreciate the true rarity of these large handsome coins in the higher grades. NGC graded AU-55. ** All James II coins are rare and as this was a very short (four years) series the reign is numismatically popular. King James II was a complex but rather unexciting character who lived much of his life in the shadow of his more charismatic brother, King Charles II. When their father was facing defeat by the Parliamentary forces during the English Civil War, James escaped from St James's Palace in 1648 and left the country. He married Anne Hyde, daughter of Edward Hyde (later Duke of Clarendon) at The Hague, Netherlands, in August 1659, and returned to England when the monarchy was restored in 1660. Like his brother, he had a string of mistresses - Jane Middleton, Elizabeth Butler Lady Chesterfield, Goditha Price, Margaret Brook Lady Denham, Arabella Churchill, and Catherine Sedley Countess of Dorchester, among others, and a string of illegitimate children! James converted to Catholicism in the 1660's, but his brother Charles II, fearful of upsetting public opinion, insisted that he should still take the Anglican connunion and that his surviving (legitimate) children (the future monarchs Mary II and Anne) should continue to be instructed as Protestants. Things were fine until James's wife Anne died in 1671 and in 1673 married the 15 year old Mary of Modena. In 1685 Charles II died and James became King. In 1688 his new Roman Catholic wife, Mary, bore him a Catholic son, and James asked the Pop to stand as godfather! This was step too far for an English public which was heavily Protestant. At this stage, a group of English magnates - six moneyed lords and a bishop - asked William of Orange, James's son-in-law, to deliver the nation from 'a perpetuation of evil'. William landed in Torbay and James, with his army, advanced to meet him. When James's generals deserted him he fled to Ireland, where he was defeated by William at the Battle of the Boyne in July 1690, and he spent his last years in France. In the meantime, William and Mary assumed the throne as joint monarchs. Estimated Value $13,000 - 16,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $14,400
Lot 3683		Great Britain. 5 Guineas, 1692. S.3422; Fr-299. William and Mary, 1688-1694. Conjoined busts of King and Queen facing right, legend GVLIELMVS ET MARIA DEI GRATIA continuous over the heads. Toothed border both sides. Reverse: Crowned and escalloped quartered shield of arms., seven strings to Irish harp, date either side of crown. Edge reads in raised letters: DECVS ET TVTAMEN ANNO REGNI QVARTO. This is nicer than other specimens which have appeared in the numismatic marketplace in recent years because it has no striking defects - no metal flecking, aread of weakness, or subsequent knocks, nicks and scratches which seem to occur on other high grade specimens. Instead it has a beautiful orange/ red peripheral tone and retains its mint brilliance. Probably one of the most handsome Five Guineas we have ever seen, the sheer eye appeal of this specimen is beyond dispute. Certainly under graded by the grading service. NGC graded MS-60. * This coin was made in the fourth year of the reign of William and Mary. England's most celebrated joint monarchs both had deprived childhoods. William never saw his father and his mother died when he was 10 years old. Mary's mother died when she was nine, and she was prevented from being close to her father (James II) because he had declared himself a Catholic and it was thought imperative that Mary continue in the Protestant faith. When James II was deposed (and later defeated militarily) William and Mary were offered the crown jointly. On hearing the news that they had accepted, James II pronounced, from France, his solemn curse on his daughter Mary, though he continued to correspond with her sister, Anne (later Queen Anne) who was the next heir. In reality, James II's heir should have been his infant Catholic son, James Francis Edward, but to bar this line, William and Mary accepted a Parliamentary Act of Settlement which restricted the succession to the Protestant line. Their only title to the throne therefore was that they ruled by Act of Parliament. Sadly, Mary died of smallpox at Kensington Palace (which she and William had built) on December 28, 1694, aged 32 years. William ruled on, alone, until his death in 1701, when he was succeeded by his sister-in-law, Queen Anne. The reign of William and Mary was brief, but full of architectural and other artistic delights. The coins are among the most beautiful in British numismatic series. Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000.
