Commonwealth 6 Pence 1652 AU55 NGC, S-3219, North-2726, ESC-1486. 3.04gm. Magnificent, a Puritan rarity in stellar preservation with sublime toning. The well-and-centrally struck planchet has come alive with delicate blues, pale golds and reds, presumably whilst sitting in the cabinet of some 19th century numismatist. An issue much maligned for its ugliness at the time, and yet now exhibiting considerable beauty. From the Butler Family Collection
