Goldberg sale 106, lot 2062
GB G106-2062r.jpg

This specimen was lot 2062 in Goldberg sale 106 (Los Angeles, September 2018), where it sold for $114. The catalog description[1] noted, "Great Britain. 3 Pence, ND (1660-1662). Charles II, 1660-1685. Hammered Third issue. PCGS graded EF-45." Oliver Cromwell's death in 1659 left a leadership vacuum which was quickly filled by inviting prince Charles back from exile to become Charles II. The first series of silver coins of his regime reverted to the old practice of not dating them and come in denominations of penny, tuppence, threepence, groat, sixpence, shilling and halfcrown. When milled coinage was introduced in 1663, copper coinage was produced for the first time since before the Civil War. The penny would remain silver until 1797.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: silver.

Catalog reference: KM 281, S.3325.
