A little weak on parts of reverse legend, lightly toned, otherwise very fine and rare. £3,750 Ex The New York Sale XXXVII, Baldwin/M&M/Markov/Goldberg, 7 January 2016, lot 1024 This coin shares the same obverse die as the previous coin on this list, and the other two recorded Wallingford Pennies in the Sylloge series (SCBI.30:339 + 34:153), though intriguingly there is no Wallingford mint signature and tantalisingly there is an X at the end of the legend before the initial cross. The angle of this is different to the initial cross so could be an X which if joined to the preceding O would give an OX for Oxford reading. However the majority of Oxford coins of Aethelstan also read VR for Urbis as on the coin two lots before this. This coin is therefore more likely one without the mint signature with MO for Moneta and a duplication of the initial cross.

He also says for every 15lb weight of bullion coined, one Angel should have been saved for the pyx trial, and we have a record of the face value of coins for each pyx trial for each mint mark for Charles I. For the mint mark of rose only £4 of face value was pyx trialled which represents 8 coins. This therefore represents a coinage of 120lb weight of Angels for this mark if mint regulation was adhered to. If an Angel weighs an average of 4 grams this equates to 0.141 ounces, meaning 120lb weight of coins = 13,617 Angels approximately for rose mint mark, pyx trialled on 21 June 1632.

Halfcrowns Very Rare “La Rochelle” Expedition Halfcrown Size Pattern

BH057 Charles I (1625-1649), Pattern of Halfcrown dimensions on a 35mm flan, 1628, struck in silver, by Nicholas Briot, King on prancing horse right with sword upright on shoulder, stony ground below, .n.briot.f. in exergue with beaded inner circle, initial mark flower, o rex .da. facilem. cvrsvm, lozenge stops, outer beaded circle both sides, rev crowned quartered shield of arms, date either side, inner beaded circle, atqve. avdacibvs. annve. coeptis., edge, plain, 15.36g (Brooker 1258; MIi 252/32; Bull 467; N.2673). Toned, good very fine and very rare. £4,000 Ex H M Lingford Collection, portion purchased by A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd, c.1951 The Latin legend literally translates as “O King, give an easy course and nod with favour on bold undertakings” finely engraved by Nicholas Briot, there has been continued debate as to whether this coin is a pattern for a Halfcrown or if this is a medallion to commemorate the “La Rochelle” Expedition of 1628. This cataloguer favours the piece being a pattern for a Halfcrown as the weight is correct for that denomination and coupled with it being struck with an inverted “coin” die-axis it leans toward being a pattern for coinage albeit with an unusual legend and date. In 1628 Nicholas Briot held a “monopoly on portraiture of the King by coin or medal” and received a salary for this privilege of £250 a year. The entry in Medallic Illustrations is based on the contemporary opinion of Evelyn who lived at the time (though he would have been an 8 year old at the date of this medallion), that it commemorated the La Rochelle Expedition where the English intervened in the disagreement between the French Royal forces of Louis XIII and the Huguenot stronghold of La Rochelle, essentially a Catholic Protestant disagreement. However it hardly seems viable to commemorate the second (by the Duke of Buckingham) of two unsuccessful expeditions to the city of La Rochelle whose inhabitants surrendered without a further fight by 28 October 1628. Presumably the evidence in Evelyn’s time was further weighted toward it being a medallion by the fact that Briot’s name is spelt out with his initial and F for “Fecit” as the “maker” a practice usually only seen on medals at this juncture. However, proposed as a pattern for a coin it seems evident to the cataloguer that Briot no doubt wanted to show all and sundry who the maker was and engraved his name in full a practice we do not see again till Thomas Simon upon his Crown proposals c.1662-3 and then Benedetto Pistrucci with his Crown coinage of George III. This piece seems much more viable than the Crown size patterns also the work of Briot listed as Brooker 1248-50 which are accepted as proposals for coin patterns even though they are well under the weight of a silver Crown. In fact their weights are just over half of that of a true currency crown and they are much more medallic in the nature of their design.

Mr G F Ansell employed in the Rolling Room at the Mint and with a scientific background, was given permission to experiment with this inferior batch of sovereigns. He was successful in adjusting the alloy mix to reproduce them in a much stronger form resulting in the whole quantity being re-coined and denoted with the extra line in the hair fillet. Today they are very rare indeed, especially in the upper grades like we have offered here.

A Pleasing Example of the Extremely Rare 827 Die Number on Truncation Gold Sovereign

Toned, some light surface marks, almost very fine and extremely rare. £10,000 This intriguing variety first came to light in 1954 when an 827 numbered truncation with die number 22 reverse turned up in the Hatton Hoard of gold found in Derbyshire. This initial coin ended up in the British Museum Collection. This variety is termed the “first” variety of the “827” Sovereign coupled without a reverse die number. The “first” non-die number variety will be offered for sale in part three next year. These are called the first variety as it is thought that this die numbered “827” Sovereign was produced and struck from an initial batch of re-melted “scissel” and scrap emanating from the Rothschild brittle ingots delivered to the Mint circa November to December 1863 which were inventory numbered to include ingot number 827.

Seemingly Unique Lead Reverse Striking of a Crown Design Proposed For Two Reigns

BM084 George IV / William IV, Trial striking in lead of a pattern reverse design for a Crown, unsigned but thought to be by J B Merlen, undated but hand etched “1830” in two places, quartered shield of arms within crowned ermine mantle and Order of the Garter, an escutcheon of the Arms of Hanover at centre, toothed border surrounding, trial etchings of dating apparent in four positions, scratched out ANNO in upper left, 1830 in upper right and lower right, ANNO in lower left, rev red wax adhered to rear with remains of paper, where perhaps it was once stuck perhaps in an engraver’s design book, 3.68g (cf.L&S George IV 37-41, William IV 10; Bull George IV rev.4, William IV rev.2). Extremely fine, as made and probably unique, extremely rare. £1,500 This intriguing trial piece was not recorded by Linecar and Stone, probably because it was not present in the Lingford Collection of 1951, where a great number of lead trial pieces appeared that “L&S” picked up on when producing their book in the 1960s. This coin design was most likely by J B Merlen who was responsible for most of the reverses on the coinage of George IV, and there is a later signed version of this reverse with initials at the bottom under the St George on an undated pattern produced for William IV (Linecar and Stone 8). This trial was obviously testing out the various positions to quote the date upon the reverse, however it was obviously decided that the mantle robe extended too far towards the rim in the lower portion of this design, and the adopted reverse then used for William IV’s silver Crowns from 1831 had the design, we are all familiar with as demonstrated on the next coin upon this list. This trial piece then has been stuck to something made with paper like a scrap book, perhaps even a portfolio of Merlen’s work. This is all very intriguing as the design appears on pattern pieces of both the reigns George IV and William IV.

L A Lawrence was a regular visitor to the Royal mint, and was a close confidant of Charles Barrett, Curator of the Royal Mint Museum. Mr Lawrence was therefore gifted many VIP proof issue coins over the years, most significantly an example of the 1933 Penny. The recent publication by Maurice Bull updating the English Silver Coinage has unfortunately caused some confusion over designation of the extremely rare proofs of the Wreath Crown of 1928, 1932 and 1933 giving two proof versions for each date when in fact in our experience there are only “VIP” proof issues for the dates of 1928-34 inclusive and 1936.

An Unknown VIP Proof Striking of the 1977 Jubilee Decimal Crown

Mottled tone especially around rim each side, housed in original Royal Mint red presentation box, Royal Mint crest in silk lid lining, black pad interior, the only one we have ever seen of this ilk, extremely rare, sold with an example of the regular sterling silver proof crown weighing 27.93g and the regular cupro-nickel Crown weighing 28.15g, all in as issued condition. (3) £1,000 This Crown is heavier than the regular sterling silver proof and has much more of a contrast in colour, brilliance and frosting between the raised design, lettering and fields. Based on the heavier weight, we suspect this special presentation piece is pure silver but test need to be conducted. The coins is sold with the regular sterling proof silver version and the currency cupro-nickel piece for comparison. There is a good provenance with this piece which we are able to reveal to the eventual buyer.

E Rogers OBE, collection bought by A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd, & Sons Ltd, c.1960 Ex Baldwin’s Auction 69, 3 May 2011, lot 662 With neat Victorian Collector ticket (R A Hoblyn) stating coin bought from the dealer Lincoln in 1895. These neat tickets are catalogued as “Maish?” In the article “Coin Tickets in the British Hammered Series” British Numismatic Journal Volume 71, 2001, plate 21, however this cataloguer notes that one of the tickets illustrated on the plate for a Henry VII Groat, merely states that this coin was acquired from “Maish”, not owned by him. This cataloguer has noted in the obituary of Richard Armstrong Hoblyn in the proceedings of 1906 edition of the Numismatic Chronicle (p.28) that Mr Hoblyn was “noted for his calligraphy and very neat handwriting”, which no doubt featured on the coin tickets that accompanied his collection. This is the only obituary we have seen that mentions a fact like this. Going back to the coin ticket article plate, the other ticket illustrated features two styles of handwriting, the neat calligraphy on the front describing a Charles I Sixpence and one or two neat sentences on the rear as usual, and then some additional information in a cruder hand. This cataloguer believes this cruder hand demonstrates Richard Hoblyn’s everyday hand-writing which matches some copper coin tickets that were once in Baldwin’s historical coin stock as ex Richard Hoblyn Collection – the series for which Mr Hoblyn was most well-known for.

Alloa Colliery, Clackmannanshire, value of Five Shillings struck on a false base metal depiction of a 1794FM, Mexico City, Mexico, Eight Reales of Charles IV of Spain, 5/ incuse at centre of annular countermark, +PAYABLE AT ALLOA COLLIERY, 22.70g (Manville 5; Brunk 50175). Attempted piercing on reverse, heavily surface marked with some porosity, countermark very fine, host coin almost fine, scarce. £950 Manville records 23 surviving examples of this particular false dollar countermark of which this maybe one of those listed. There is only one genuine countermarked dollar which could be the only true survivor meaning all the others like the coin here are interesting contemporary forgeries having likely been produced in the Birmingham area; though one forgery survives with an 1824 overdate which may refer to the 1824 Act of Parliament when John Francis Erskine was restored to his titles and honours that were forfeited after the 1715 Rebellion. Either way these are an interesting part of the social history of the mines at Alloa in Clackmannanshire, where today in the vicinity there are still two large abandoned collieries at Manor Powis and Castlebridge.

Dalzell Farms, Lanarkshire, no value given but thought to be Five Shillings, annular countermark with legend *PAYABLE AT DALZELL FARM on France silver Five Francs, Paris mint, Republic year 6, 24.50g (Manville 20; Brunk 51220). Countermark good very fine, toned, host coin a bold fine and very rare, this example not listed by Manville. £2,250 Owned by the Hamilton Family, Dalzell Farm issued these countermarked French 5 Franc coins to its workers, at first those involved in digging and trenching, from c.1820 onwards, which developed by the 1830’s to more of a cotton and silk industry with 205 persons involved in weaving. Counting the surviving examples recorded by Manville, plus one with the Hamilton Family and the example offered here, we arrive at a total of 30 known examples of this countermark.

Adelphi Cotton Works, Deanston, Perthshire, countermark on a Silver French Half-Ecu, 1729 M, Toulouse, woolsack, ADELPHI COTTON WORK surrounding, 13.38g (Manville 24 this coin listed; Brunk 50125). Countermark almost very fine with small die flaw beneath, host coin poor. £1,500 Presumably ex W Talbot-Ready, Sotheby’s, 16 November 1920, lot 943 (part) Manville only lists this one example, untraced at the time of his publication which this coin probably is. John Buchanan of Carston originally erected these cotton spinning mills in 1785 on the south bank of the River Teith at Doune with his brothers. Later the works were owned by Benjamin Flounders with Joseph, Samuel and William Twigg, and it was under their ownership that the Adelphi countermarks were issued circa 1794 until the early 1800s. See Manville Appendix E for further contemporary reading. Today the site is home to the Deanston Whisky Distillery.

Thistle Bank, Glasgow, value of Four Shillings and Ninepence countermark on 1803FT, Mexico City mint, Mexico, Eight Reales of King Charles IV of Spain, 4/9 at centre of linear circle and legend surrounding, THISTLE BANK ., reverse of countermark with sideways thistle at 9 o’clock axis to the obverse, 26.64g (Manville 46; Brunk 54325). Series of light scratches on obverse, countermark and host coin about very fine, no host coin as late as this recorded by Manville for the 4/9 denomination, therefore very rare. £1,250 One of two Glasgow banks that issued countermarked coins, the Thistle Bank was founded in November 1761 by the “tobacco lords” including Sir James Maxwell and James Ritchie and Company, deriving its name from the thistle vignette. Based in Bridgegate and later Virginia Street, east side, there were three different denominations of countermarked coin of which the 4/9d always had the thistle at a 9 o’clock die axis on the reverse. There is a record of an invoice for 6,000 countermarked pieces being produced, probably at the 4/9d value in or shortly after 1803, so this coin is likely the latest possible date for the denomination. This record also illustrates the poor survival rate of examples till the present day, with some 60 surviving examples of this denomination recorded by Manville that represents a survival rate of 1% of this total struck. Though of course perhaps more than 6,000 were struck as the evidence is from one surviving invoice.

The village of New Lanark’s population grew from just over 2,000 when the first mill was established to over 7,500 by 1831 when about 2,000 people were employed by the mills. The countermarked coins of varying denominations at Lanark Mills were produced at varying times in relation to the price of silver. The Four and Ninepence denomination was thought to have been circulated from around 1803-1810 when the mills were being run Robert Owen and Company, David Dale having died in 1792.

Appendix B of Manville reveals silver market price for August 1812 at 6 Shillings 2 ½d per ounce which is 5 Shillings and 4 Pence per Eight Reales piece.

Sir Richard must have seen some of the earlier issues of Scottish Countermark pieces being used successfully in these areas and it was more likely his son Richard jnr. who issued these pieces for use in their own mills in Cromford, probably c.1790-1810 period. This piece is the second earliest dated host coin and is one of 62 surviving examples of this denomination for Cromford.

Later the works were owned by Benjamin Flounders with Joseph, Samuel and William Twigg, and it was under their ownership that the Adelphi countermarks were issued circa 1794 until the early 1800s.

However, other numismatists thought they were affiliated with the Scottish series and this was proven by one of these Mitchel pieces being dredged up from the River Teith below Deanston Mill next to Doune, the Mitchel surname was also known in the town of Doune.

Countermark weak in one part, otherwise about very fine, host token almost fine, rare. £500 A rare instance of a lady merchant, this Mrs Somervill was likely Isabella Keir wife of William Somervill who died in Doune in 1818. Her husband was a vintner and distiller. These countermarks were traditionally thought to refer to Down in County Armagh Ireland, however their affiliation with the Scottish merchant series and the biographical detail mentioned in this footnote more clearly places it in Doune, Scotland, as there are no Somervills listed in the directories of the Downpatrick area.

Kelly retired in 1826 selling out to Thom, who then brought in a Mr Struthers. The mills continued in operation, only one was left working by 1886 and was still operating in 1900.

Counterstamp bold very fine, host coin fair. £250 More likely this is a test piece for perhaps a book stamp or embosser, of the County Fire Office of Glasgow, perhaps in a metal stamp manufacturer, as there is clearly the visible remains of another stamp showing “Smith” on the other side. This appears to be mid-late 19th Century in the cataloguer’s opinion. We note an advertisement for this Fire Office in the Glasgow Herald Newspaper of 8th October 1852 at 25 Corn Ram Street, and later in the dawning years of the 19th Century at 158 St Vincent Street, Glasgow.

There are two Marys in other later directories, one in 1821 a widow at Harding’s Buildings, Salford, and the other in 1824 as a fustian cutter at 4 Back Thomas Street.

Extremely fine. £595 Clain-Stefanelli 1849*; Daehn 127, ‘Noted for the 1329 photographs of 809 of the best specimens of Greek coinage.’ Grierson 53, ‘Ouvrage luxueusement illustré.’ Kroh 7, (five stars), ‘The ULTIMATE “coffee-table” book; certainly the finest work on Greek coins ever printed. It is massive in size and contains many fantastic enlargements of the best Greek coins you are ever likely to see. Long out of print this is the world’s most sought after numismatic book.’
