There were two major issues of great importance to the average Englishman of the time. Freedom from absolutist tyranny and freedom from Catholic plots. Charles was on the wrong side on both of these issues. A true believer in the divine right of kings, he abolished Parliament in 1629. In 1625 he married Henrietta Maria, a Catholic. These two acts alienated the people against him and ultimately led to his hanging in 1649.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.

Great Britain. William IV Document Seals: Pair of Red Wax Royal Seals of William IV, 1830-1837. The dark oak case measures 13.5" high by 20 ¾" wide by 2" deep. By Benjamin Wyon, William IV chief engraver. The exposed surface of the red wax seals is 5 7/8" extending to almost 6.4 inches in the round frames within which they are set. We believe these were made from the original silver matrix in the British Museum. The case shows great age, possibly dating to the 1830's. These could be commemorative pieces prepared from the original matrices, which are in the British Museum, Collection, in the late 19th or early 20th century. In any case, these were most likely either done by or authorized by the British Museum, which makes them 'official'. One of the seals has cracked and was repaired quite a while ago. A most unusual and attractive item and possibly quite scarce.

Great Britain. Pattern Twopence or 10 Cents, 1846. Peck-2077. Smith on Decimal Currency. Copper original striking. Reverse inverted. Victoria. No legend on obverse. Head of Queen to left, undraped, truncated above the shoulder. Hair bound with a double fillet, and gathered up behind in a knot from which two loose curls fall. Below, in small letter - MARRIAN & GAUSBY.D.BIRM. All within a circle of square teeth and a broad outer rim which mimics the 'cartwheel' two pence coins of George III, 1797. Reverse: SMITH ON DECIMAL CURRENCY around, and in the field 10 CENTS in 2 lines. The date 1846 below, between two oval ornaments. circle of teeth etc. as on obverse. Edge plain.
The original strikings of the pieces are actually rarer than Peck suggests. Nearly all of the pieces now seen are restrikes with numerous rust marks. This is an exceptional example which has no rust marks and which has escaped the knocks, cuts and scratches which seem so affect all of the Smith/Marrian & Gausby coins. Indeed many similar pieces are found in unusually worn condition - a puzzling fact when one considers that these are patterns whose size was far larger than the equivalent coins then in circulation. We have seen a nicer example of this denomination, even in the sets of coins which very occasionally appear in the marketplace. Finally, in many ways this coin appears to be a BRONZED copper original, which would mean it is unlisted by Peck. He only acknowledges the existence of the BRONZED copper restrikes. But, all in all a very desirable and intriguing specimen. NGC graded MS-64 Brown.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250.
