COINS, EUROPEAN TERRITORIES, ISLE OF MAN James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), Silver Proof Penny, 1733, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, frosted cap, date below, rev Triune, 9.087g (Pr 13A; S 7406; KM 5d.1). Mint state, lightly toned.
ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, lot 2707
The dies used on the two silver pieces are slightly different. This coin has the appearance of being struck on a planchet twice as thick as the other, but the slight difference in weight doesn't bear this out. The edge milling is strong and even, the strike is strong, making it comfortable to call this a proof.
Estimate: £400-600
