Description

(1659) Lord Baltimore Fourpence, XF40
W-1010, Smooth and Evenly Struck

(1659) Lord Baltimore Fourpence XF40 NGC. Hodder 1-A, W-1010, R.6. Ex: Long Island Collection. 25.6 grains. A pearl-gray example of the challenging Maryland denomination. Portrait high points show blushes of powder-blue patina. No marks are remotely consequential. A minor edge flaw at 7:30 affects only a few dentils. The early die state without any sign of the eventually large die break along the right shield border. The Large Bust variety with the bust truncation close to the lower legend. A Small Bust variety exists but only one example is known. The groat or fourpence is rarer than its sixpence counterpart, and is also rarer than the shilling due to the W-1092 copper variety. Only the denarium (penny) is rarer. Listed on page 35 of the 2022 Guide Book.
From The Long Island Collection, Part III.
