            Threepence, 1562. S-2603. N-2034. An exceptionally fine example, 
            with lovely lightly iridescent gray surfaces, virtually no marks, 
            deeply detailed portrait as found mainly on this issue, Tudor rose 
            behind the queen, star above her head and at start of reverse 
            legend. Error "I" for "T" in her name. Distinctive mid-16th-century
