SCOTLAND. Dollar (4 Merks), 1676. Edinburgh Mint; mm: F. Charles II. NGC F-12.
S-5618; KM-113; Burns-1 (fig. 1054). Weight: 26.14 gms. Second Coinage. Smooth and nicely glossed, with only minor marks visible under a glass. The denticles remain virtually full on the obverse, while the reverse is pulled to 6 o'clock. Old slate-grey tone with an area of dark patina noted below R of GRA. An historic piece that was struck a full century before the signing of the Declaration of Independence in America. While the 1682 is the most common of this type, those of 1676 are remarkably SCARCE with fewer than 10 distinct examples sold publicly in the past decade.
From the Loch Ness Collection.
Estimate: $500 - $1000
