Lot 2125
Great Britain. Elizabeth I (1558-1603) silver Penny. S-2558. Second issue, struck 1560-61, of sterling fineness (.925). Generally, the smaller silver of this reign is rarer than the larger, and a penny of this quality is more difficult to locate than, say, a gold Half Pound. Nonetheless the value is modest, presenting the collector with an excellent coin, in this specimen, for a decent price. An unusually pleasing EF, dark gray to black. The quality of the portrait is exceptional, and the shield is similarly sharp. Fields are really clean. Inner beaded circles are crisp. Legends not complete but far more in evidence than is the norm. An excellent coin, rare in this grade! NGC graded EF-40.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
