Description
(1659) Lord Baltimore Shilling, AU50
Hodder 1-A, W-1080, Large Bust
(1659) SHILNG Lord Baltimore Shilling AU50 PCGS. Hodder 1-A,
W-1080, R.6. Large Bust. Although he never visited colonial
America, Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore, presided over
the Maryland colony from 1632 until he died in 1675. During his
guidance, Calvert authorized coinage for use in the colony. The
four denominations were the copper penny, the silver groat
(fourpence), the sixpence, and the shilling, the latter that is
offered here. All of those coins are rare today, with rarity
ratings suggesting that no more than 30 of these shillings exist.
This example shows light wear on the high points. The surfaces
display rich steel toning with tan highlights. The centering is
imperfect, a common situation for these pieces. This is an
important reminder of the struggles our early settlers faced in
Maryland and all of the other colonies during the middle 17th
century. Listed on page 37 of the 2024 Guide Book.
Population: 9 in 50 (1 in 50+), 11 finer (7/23).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2U3L, PCGS# 34, Greysheet# 383)
