Description

(1659) Lord Baltimore Shilling, W-1080, AU Details
Challenging Maryland Denomination

(1659) Lord Baltimore Shilling -- Holed and Plugged -- NGC Details. AU. Hodder 1-A, W-1080, R.6. Ex: Long Island Collection. 71.6 grains. A cream-gray example of this rare Maryland denomination, struck at the Tower Mint in London for Cecil Calvert's Maryland colony. A round plug above the bust is re-engraved, evident on the cross and the MV in MVLTIPLICAMINI. A few wispy marks are noted on the left obverse field. The obverse center is lightly impressed, and a small flan flaw is on the reverse border at 11:30. Otherwise, a pleasing piece with bold peripheral legends. Below the II in XII are raised elements, perhaps off-center clashed dentils, as seen on all examples of W-1080. Listed on page 35 of the 2022 Guide Book.
From The Long Island Collection, Part III.
