Lot 2197
Great Britain. Silver Sixpence, 1677. Charles II. S-3382. One of the finest of this type in existence! A truly Uncirculated coin that is both well struck and has exceptional eye-appeal. The surfaces are especially clean. Silvery luster shows beneath handsome gray toning. The portrait is sharp and appealing, lifelike. Obverse legend shows classic bifurcations and is entirely sharp. Reverse legend has a number of interesting die blunders, recut letters but remains sharp and clear. Alloy problems show slightly on the reverse: porosity in the metal and some die-stress. Nonetheless, this coin sets very close to the top of known examples of Charles II's sixpence coinage. Worth a strong bid indeed, as one of the most difficult coins of this denomination to find in high grade. NGC graded MS-63.
Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,500.
