Sale 31: The Pre-Long Beach Auction May 30 - June 1, 2005
             

             
            Lot 2106Great Britain. Henry VII (1485-1509) silver Groat. S-2258. 
            Profile portrait type. Arrow or pheon mm on each side (used 
            1505-09). Last type of groat from the first Tudor king, a classic, 
            and an excellent example here in the Cheshire Collection. Glossy 
            dark gray surfaces. Excellent detail in devices and legends, with 
            the portrait real enough to scarce you. Unlike the Spink plate coin, 
            which is weak in this area, the top of the portrait is especially 
            sharp on this coin, showing the large orb and cross at the top of 
            the king's head. A beautiful example, in a word! NGC graded AU-50. 
            Estimated Value $800-1,000. 

            Provenance: The Cheshire Collection.
             Realized $900
