Lot 2160
Great Britain. Charles I (1625-49) silver Penny. S-2835. Tower Mint issued under the King, circa 1625-42. Not always distinct, this appears to be N-2272, with the Aberystwyth bust. No inner circle on obverse but two dramatically raised pellets, and the "1" for One Penny behind the king's head. Insightly graded by NGC: no evident wear, remnants of luster beneath deeply set dark gray patina showing gold iridescence in the shield. This coin is so unusually well preserved and struck that it reminds the cataloguer of the extremely rare Proof shilling of this era. The owner of the Cheshire Collection was impressed by the roundness of this coin, and noted to us that "it may be a specially produced item or presentation piece." NGC graded AU-58.
Estimated Value $250 - 300.
