GREAT BRITAIN. Newark (Besieged). Shilling, 1645. Charles I. PCGS AU-53 Gold Shield.
S-3142; North-2640. Weight: 5.34 gms. An immensely pleasing survivor of this crude necessity issue exhibiting a bold strike with minor signs of handling consistent for the grade. Beautiful old cabinet patina offers good eye appeal displaying rich gray tone that is complemented by iridescent hues that pop out when tilted in the light. Far nicer than normally encountered for this issue, the present example is destined for a fine cabinet of a discerning collector.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
