Great Britain
Commonwealth Shilling 1651 MS63 NGC, Tower mint, Sun mm, KM390.1, S-3217, ESC-97 (R3; prev. ESC-984C), N-2724. 5.72gm. One "M" in "COMONWEALTH" variety. A wholly impressive Choice Mint State survivor from this covetable series, especially so in this rare variety, veiled in a sheen of pastel hues across glossy argent surfaces. Despite the presence of scattered striking weakness as is typical for these hammered issues during such a tumultuous era in British numismatics, the piece at hand remains as wonderful and pristine as the day it was struck.
