1690 6/5 NGC AU 58 William Mary 4 Pence Error Groat Great Britain Silver Coin (23110704C)

Regular price $695.00

  • Almost Uncirculated William & Mary England (Great Britain) silver 4 pence or groat sterling silver coin.
  • Very rare date mint error variety where the "6" is a correction punched over a "5" erroneously installed by the die sinker. The lower curvature of the 5 can be seen within the circle on the 6.
  • This should not be confused with an overdate which is an intentional effort to modify a date, such as 1691 over 1690, to preserve the usefulness of the die.
  • Certified by NGC to AU 58.
  • NGC does not acknowledge the 6/5, an obvious oversight.
  • Toned with underlying luster.
  • Outstanding portraits of the Royal couple.
  • Catalog: English Silver Coins: 1869A (for the 6/5) rated as Rare.
  • An interesting variation in obverse & reverse legend font size is noted.
