- SCOTLAND. Unite (Sceptre), ND (1637-42)-B. Edinburgh Mint. Charles I. PCGS AU-50. S-5531; Fr-56; KM-57; Burns-3. By Nicholas Briot. Obverse: Half-length armored bust of Charles I, wearing Scottish crown and holding orb and scepter; Crowned shield diving C R, Scottish arms in 1st and 4th quarters. An incredibly charming example of the popular coinage of Nicholas Briot, who's apprenticeship at the Scottish mint produced a level of technical precision hitherto unseen on British coinage. Only the slightest touch of wear is seen on the highest elements of the design, with a wholesomely original skin to the coin. Deep peel orange tone hugs the surfaces, and vivid luster twirls when shifted in one's hands. A coin that presents the elite eye appeal of a higher graded coin, this Unite is truly RARE when offered this nice. Estimate: $8,000 - $12,000. Provenance: From the Augustana Collection.
