SCOTLAND. 60 Shillings Restrike, "1688" (1828). James VII (as James II of England). PCGS MS-63 Gold Shield.
S-5634. By M. Young (from the originals by J. Roettiers). Incredibly dazzling and appealing, this early 19th century restrike was issued by Matthew Young using Roettiers's original dies, with no specimens of those dies known to have been struck contemporaneous with their production. Rather deeply toned, this "crown" offers a brilliance when cradled back and forth that verges upon a prooflike quality. Tied with just one other example for the finest in the PCGS census.
Estimate: $2500 - $3000
