Lot 2106
Great Britain. Henry VII (1485-1509) silver Groat. S-2258. Profile portrait type. Arrow or pheon mm on each side (used 1505-09). Last type of groat from the first Tudor king, a classic, and an excellent example here in the Cheshire Collection. Glossy dark gray surfaces. Excellent detail in devices and legends, with the portrait real enough to scarce you. Unlike the Spink plate coin, which is weak in this area, the top of the portrait is especially sharp on this coin, showing the large orb and cross at the top of the king's head. A beautiful example, in a word! NGC graded AU-50.
Estimated Value $800 - 1,000.
