[2148] Great Britain. James I (1603-25) silver Shilling
<Our item number 77702><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> James I &#40;1603-25&#41; silver Shilling &#40;1605-06.</B> S-2655. Second coinage of 1604-19. Rose mm, struck 1605-06. Seldom-seen 4th Bust, the king shown in smaller size with so-called plainer armour, which is actually detailed but cut short at the right arm/shoulder. The portrait here is unusually well detailed, among the best seen of this issue. Little wear but softly struck in many areas of the legends. The bust and shield are the best parts of this lovely coin, which has full original early 17th-century color, toned a handsome and slightly iridescent medium gray. The first quadrant of the shield has a long, old gash on it, suggesting this was a &#34;dug piece,&#34; which is consistent with its overall lack of wear. Probably part of someone&#39;s &#34;savings account,&#34; buried for security in very uncertain times, then lost for many years until recovered, possibly, by a metal &#34;detectorist,&#34; as they are called in the UK. <B >NGC graded AU-55.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,000-1,250. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 77702<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077702.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077702N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
