Provenance
BSJ 23, 28 September 2018, lot 2080 - toned, extremely fine - £5,010
Glendining-Baldwin, 30 October 1974, lot 45 - £500
Waite-Sanderson, Glendining, 18 January 1939, lot 135



Regrettably the Waite-Sanderson dispersal offered two 1726 Crowns (lots 134 and 135), with only the former illustrated. Study of this coin presents sufficient discrepancies that would unfortunately render the Lockett pedigree unsustainable with the current example
