                              STUART. Charles I. 1625-1649. AV Unite (9.11 gm. 
                              11h). First bust, struck 1625-1626. Tower mint; 
                              mm: lis. Crowned bust left / Crowned shield with 
                              garnish. Cf. Brooker 17; Schneider 112/116 corr. 
                              (obv./rev. dies); North 2146; SCBC 2688A. VF, 
                              slightly wavy flan. ($1000)

                              Although it appears as an amorphous blob, 
                              Schneider lists the initial mark on the reverse of 
                              coin 116 as a cross cavalry (which is clearly on 
                              the coin's obverse). A comparison with the present 
                              coin, though, reveals that the reverses of both 
                              coins were struck from the same reverse die. Thus, 
                              the initial mark on the reverse of Schneider 116 
                              must be a lis, but perhaps a bungled attempt had 
                              been made to change the die over to the new mark.
