Lot: 241

The L'Abbaye Collection | Charles II (1660-1685), Shilling, 1674 over 3, second bust, A over R in GRATIA, plain below, rev. no stop after HIB, six strings to harp, edge obliquely milled, 5.97g, 7h (Bull 527 [R2]; ESC 1039A [R3]; Pywell-Phillips -; Spink 3375), good fine, very rare

Since our record-breaking auction result at 2021 'Virtual NYINC' (Spink 367, 17 January 2021, lot 302), further analysis has confirmed the R over A in GRATIA error is a standard feature of the obverse die for the 1674 overdate Shilling. The date is nevertheless seldom encountered, rendering Bull's rarity accreditation accurate for the purposes of the inclined collector
