[2153] Great Britain. Silver Sixpence, 1624
<Our item number 77693><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> Silver Sixpence, 1624.</B> James I. S-2670. Third Coinage of 1619-25. Sixth bust. Trefoil mm. A wonderful contrast and companion to the 1603 sixpence above, this coin shows what the coinage looked like at the end of this reign, just before the first Charles. Except for the last few letters of the obverse legend, this coin almost leaps off its metal at the viewer&#39;s eye with an incredible sharpness of detail that is almost never seen in these sixpence issues. The lettering style is crude and classic, &#34;of its age,&#34; but deeply cut. So are the inner and outer beaded circles, which offset a crisp portrait. Reverse qualities are similar, though the letters are somewhat filled in, less deeply cut, but still exceptionally clear and readable. The shield is balanced in strike, with some soft or rounded parts; the date is bold. It&#39;s all enhanced by lovely medium gray toning of the finest kind. In fact there is so little actual wear tha t details of the die-work are easily studied. One of the most pleasing late-issue silver coins of this reign the cataloguer has seen. <B>NGC graded EF-45.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,250-1,400. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 77693<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077693.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077693N2.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.
