IRELAND. 4 Pence, 1557. Dublin Mint; mm: Rose. Philip & Mary. NGC AU-55.
S-6501C. Obverse: Facing busts of Philip and Mary; Reverse: Crowned harp with flanking crowned P and M. Extremely impressive quality, displaying a very sharp rendering of Philip and Mary's busts and the date. Adding to that, the surface quality far exceeds what is typically seen, with original luster residing in the open fields. Among the very finest we've observed and sure to attract strong competition from the specialist of early Irish issues as such.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
