Description
Lord Baltimore Sixpence, Hodder 2-C, Fine 15
Cecil Calvert's Private Coinage
(1659) 6PENCE Lord Baltimore Sixpence Fine 15 PCGS. Hodder 2-C,
W-1060, R.5. The sole accessible Lord Baltimore sixpence die
pair, though still rare regardless of condition. Unlike the
thriving and well-populated state Maryland is today, in 1659 it was
a hardscrabble, albeit religiously tolerant colony that had yet to
develop its plantation economy, and so few silver coins such as
this sixpence were needed. The obverse is deeply toned blue-gray
with a few long old cuts down through Calvert's hair. The reverse
is significantly smoother and faintly luminous with similar
coloration. Listed on page 40 of the 2014 Guide Book.
Population: 1 in 15, 34 finer (1/14).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2U3K, PCGS# 33, Greysheet# 379)
