Groat 1836 Gold Pattern with Plain edge, Wilson & Rasmussen 273, ESC 1921, Bull 2518, Davies 380G, weight 3.43 grammes, in an NGC holder and graded PF63, rated R5 by Wilson & Rasmussen, (estimated 6-10 specimens known). An excessively rare and desirable example of the William IV Britannia type. Four different patterns of this date were minted in gold, two of which used the '4P in field' type reverse, the remaining two used the Britannia reverse later adopted for the currency issue, namely this piece and an equivalent piece struck on a thin flan. Of significant interest to the Gold Pattern collector, or specialist collector of the William IV series. By comparison, the Proof coins included in the 1831 Proof set each had a mintage of 225 pieces, so if you are interested in choice rarities of the sort offered globally once or twice a decade this is the lot for you

The coins were among those stuck in the winter and spring of 1962-1963 as part of a group of coin struck for the 'Decimal Coinage Committee' which had been appointed in December 1961 to advise on the most convenient and practical form that a Decimal currency might take. The Chairman of the Committee was The Rt. Hon. Earl of Halsbury FRS, The Secretary was Mr. N.A.E. Moore, who subsequently became Chairman of the Decimal Currency Board. The Assistant Secretary was Mr. John Rimington. The Trial coins were circulated at the meetings by the Deputy Master of the Mint Mr. J.H. James CB. A truly spectacular and ultra-rare set, only 2-5 sets believed to exist. We can find no record of this set ever being offered in a Royal Mint case, indeed neither Freeman, Krause nor Coincraft mentions the existence of a case, so this set being offered as it is in the Royal Mint case very probably is unique.

CO, SILVERMITHS. in 9 Lines, About EF. These pieces were struck for the Presidential campaign of 1896, for William Jennings Bryan, and represent the difference in size between a Silver Dollar and the silver bullion equivalent of a Gold Dollar. The market price of silver on Sept. 16th was used for comparison. Bryan fought for monetary reforms as part of his Presidential campaign. He was narrowly defeated in the election by William McKinlay. An interesting piece of USA Political history. Uniface examples are recorded as are hand-inscribed reverse types. Gorham Silver was founded in 1831 by Jabez Gorham and Henry L. Webster, and was well-known for high quality spoons, thimbles, jewellery and other small items. They were the first in America to use a steam-powered drop press. Such was their prowess in manufacturing that even Tiffany & Co. outsourced all it's silverware production to them.
