Commonwealth 6 Pence 1660 MS62 NGC, Tower mint, Anchor mm, KM389.2, S-3220, BULL-215 (R3) (prev. ESC-1497), N-2727. 3.29gm. A remarkable rarity of the denomination and one rarely encountered with any regularity at public sale, and always to significant fanfare regardless of condition. Boasting strong central devices and only minimal weakness to the outer legends, we note that the majority of examples seen appear much cruder and largely devoid of significant eye appeal as seen here, the reverse especially, laden with autumnal peripheral hues traversing mostly full legends. Currently ranked at the very peak of certified specimens, with the next highest graded AU53.
