- Choice EF Lord Baltimore Shilling Undated (1659) Maryland Lord Baltimore Shilling. W-1080, Breen-64, Hodder 1-A. EF-45 (PCGS). 61.9 grains. Another stellar specimen, with excellent detail and a bold obverse portrait. Nice silver gray with some olive and tan highlights. The obverse is aligned to the lower left, with a bold arc of denticles framing much of the right periphery. The reverse centering is close to ideal, though just a thin frame of denticles is seen at the left. The strike is good, with just a little softness in the typical area of the centers. A single thin hairline scratch runs through the left obverse field, with glancing contact at the tip of Calvert's nose. Traces of residual luster persist, mostly at the peripheries, and the visual appeal is very nice for the grade. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of September 2005, lot 225; Lawrence R. Stack Collection, November 2006. To view supplemental information and all items from the Sydney F.
