Description
Very Rare Lord Baltimore Groat VF30
(1659) 4PENCE Lord Baltimore Fourpence VF30 NGC. Crosby, Pl. III, 3. Breen-74. The "Large bust and shield" variety, perhaps better described as the off-center bust, since it is placed too low in the field and closely approaches the exergue legends. Rarer than the sixpence, the fourpence or groat has only two die varieties. Just two examples of Breen-75 are known, which focuses demand on Breen-74. The present piece has complete, bold legends and deep lavender and steel-blue toning. The lower left obverse field has parallel marks, but the surfaces are otherwise smooth. The late die state with a prominent break between the V in IV and the right shield border. Listed on page 38 of the 2009 Guide Book. Census: 1 in 30, 1 finer (11/08).See: Video Lot Description
