(1659) 6PENCE Lord Baltimore Sixpence VF35 PCGS. Hodder 2-C, W-1060, R.5. This is the most frequently encountered sixpence variety of the rare Maryland (Lord Calvert) coinage. These pieces were struck at the Royal Mint in London, in 1659, and have a somewhat checkered history. Lord Calvert was actually arrested in October, 1659, in London, for the illegal export of silver from England to his Maryland colony. Though no official records exist of his adjudication, it is presumed that an arrangement was made for him to keep the coins in question and transport them home, where the silver pieces circulated extensively.
This is a pleasing Choice VF example showing a mixture of original steel-blue, antique-gold, violet, and mint-green patina over smooth, evenly worn surfaces. The design elements are boldly struck and well-centered on the planchet. There are no large or distracting surface flaws or abrasions. Listed on page 42 of the 2017 Guide Book. Population: 4 in 35, 31 finer (3/17).
Ex: Chicago ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2014), lot 3018, which realized $15,275.
