REVIEW: A COLLECTION OF SCOTTISH COINS PTII: 9 MAY

The star lot among this collection of Scottish coins turned out to be a Robert the Bruce (1306-1329) penny.

With cross pattée, and bust 2 left, with triple pellet stops and colon before robertvs, the reverse has a long cross, with four mullets of five points each in the angles.

 

Excessively rare and in good fine condition, it more than doubled its high estimate of £1,000 to sell for £2,600.

Other highlights included a James III (1460-88) groat struck in Berwick in 1467 that sold for £1,800 and a Robert II (1371-90) groat struck in Dundee that also took £1,800.
