British Milled Coins from Various Properties
Charles II (1660-1685), Shilling, 1663, first bust, with error legend gartia (ESC 503; S 3371). Of rather bright appearance, otherwise good very fine and extremely rare thus, an exceptional specimen £3,000-£3,600
---
In the cataloguer's opinion, the ESC rating of R4 for this coin does not truly represent its rarity in higher grades. In the last 15 years only three specimens have been offered at auction in the UK, including one by us from the Hulett Collection. The best of these was good fine but scratched on the reverse
