The James V two-thirds ducat is of even greater rarity than its whole counterpart and was called "very rare" by Burns in 1887. It retains this elusive status over a century later. Just four distinct examples have been sold at auction over the past decade, most of which have impairments, including the Lockett (Very Fine, Scratch), Dundee (NGC VF Details-Graffiti), LaRiviere (Very Fine, Edge Knock) and Douglas (NGC EF-45) coins. This problem-free piece, now the fifth example, is the first that we have handled since our sale of the Dundee coin in 2011 and it represents a truly significant opportunity for advanced specialists.
From the Loch Ness Collection.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
