- Lot Description
- Undated (Circa 1659) Lord Baltimore Sixpence. Hodder 2-C, W-1060. URS-7. Small Bust. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Light steel gray surfaces with mint brightness in the protected areas. Nicely struck for the issue, with nearly full reverse shield details; that area is often weaker than seen here. Obverse planchet fissures, as struck, can be seen under low magnification above Cecil Calvert's portrait. A scarce and popular rarity that is not often offered at AU-55. Pleasing for the grade with excellent eye appeal.<br />
