WJC-8052:
1605 James 1st
Stuart Hammered Silver Sixpence. Second coinage, third bust, initial mark Rose, Spink 2657. The often sought-after Guy Fawkes'
date. A
notoriously badly executed, poorly struck issue that attracted wear and damage
through frenetic circulation and handling like my wife is to black boots ... so
many pairs of black boots! The Noonan
April 2024 sale saw a commoner dated 1603 6d (lot 310) achieve a hammer price
of £1,600 (£2,000+ after buyer's commission).
That coin was ex HistoryInCoins, sold to the
Mike Hallam collection, although that is by-the-by; the point being that the
Noonan coin, whilst slightly better grade, was just that - slightly
better grade. This is a better date coin
and it won't cost you £2,000 or even £1,000.
A veritable bargain at £845
