Great Britain
Commonwealth 6 Pence 1656 MS64 NGC, Tower mint, Sun mm, KM389.1, S-3219, BULL-205 (prev. ESC-1492A), N-2726. 3.05gm. Only stops on obverse by mintmark variety. Witnessed at the cusp of Gem Mint State, a nearly unattainable feat for any Commonwealth issue, let alone one that has generally seen significant rates of exchange. Clearly the result of having been tucked away in an collector's cabinet for quite a while, having developed a wholly enticing cabinet tone that sweeps the well-preserved devices. Currently certified as the finest Commonwealth 6 Pence seen by NGC and PCGS.
