Description

(1659) Maryland Large Bust Shilling, XF45
W-1080, Unblemished Surfaces

(1659) Lord Baltimore Shilling XF45 NGC. Hodder 1-A, W-1080, R.6. Ex: Long Island Collection. 68.2 grains. Large Bust. A charming example with powder-blue fields and stone-white high points. No marks are noticeable, and the portrait high points display only moderate wear. The edge has uneven thickness, narrow at 6 o'clock and 10:30 and slightly narrow at 4:30. On the reverse, those areas correspond to 12 o'clock, 1:30, and 7 o'clock. Peripheral areas where the edge narrows show incompleteness of strike, though the remainder of the coin is well defined. A slight flan crack is at 6 o'clock. W-1080 is the only collectible shilling variety in silver, though copper examples of W-1092 appear now and then. Listed on page 35 of the 2022 Guide Book.
From The Long Island Collection, Part III.
