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

             
            Lot 2162Great Britain. Charles I (1625-49) silver Penny. S-2851. 
            Tower Mint, struck under the authority of Parliament, circa 1642-48, 
            at the outbreak of Civil War. A variant on the "specimen" piece 
            offered here (S-2835), part of the Cheshire Collection to show the 
            more normal style and quality of pennies of this period. This piece, 
            too, however, is exceptional, but it is more normal in execution. 
            Light gray toning with some golden hues. Very pleasing; indeed, one 
            of the finest to be found! NGC graded AU-55. 
            Estimated Value $150-200. 

            Provenance: The Cheshire Collection.
             Realized $170
