The Abramson Collection of English Coins | Anne (1702-1714), Post-Union, Edinburgh Crown, 1707-E SEXTO, diademed and draped bust left, rev. 'no stops after BRI, ET and HIB', crowned shields cruciform, nine strings to harp, angles plain, edge lettered downwards, 29.87g, 6h (cf. Bull 1351; ESC 103; Spink 3600), a flan flaw before nose and peripheral striking softness, otherwise toned, almost fine.
Provenance
The Dr Tony Abramson Collection of English Coins
Purchased January 1987
,
Cursory inspection of the reverse legend may lead to the conclusion that this is a 'no stops on reverse' variety. However traces of the colon stops after MAG and REG are visible, twinned with the broken serifs of the I's leads this cataloguer to believe that they are omitted simply on account of an aged die. Viewing is however strongly advised for this curiosity.
Estimate: £50 - £80
