Elizabeth I (1558-1603) 6 Pence 1573 AU50 NGC, Tower mint, Acorn mm, Fourth Issue, Intermediate Bust 4B, 3.14gm, S-2562. A normally unfathomable grade for Elizabethan silver coinage, the flan almost perfectly round with a full beaded border and no clips or edge chips, the legends clear and full with hardly any weakness, and the queen's bust as expressive as is likely imaginable. Luminescence soaks the peripheries and makes this a must for the British connoisseur. From the Butler Family Collection
