About very fine, toned, rare £120-£150 --- Provenance: F. Elmore-Jones Collection; J.J. North Collection
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Groat, class A6, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, small young bust, tressure of six arcs, nothing in spandrels, crosslet stops, saltire after scotorvm, 3.73g/6h (SCBI 35, 369 same obv. die; B 10, fig. 257, same obv. die; S 5091). Slightly small of flan, good fine or better £150-£200 --- Provenance: Bt Edinburgh Coin Shop July 1982 The introduction of crosslet stops mark a transition to the next phase of the coinage. The tressure around the king is still relatively well defined.
Charles I (1625-1649), Third coinage, Falconer’s Anonymous issue, Twelve Shillings, mm. thistle-head, small letters, 5.62g/6h (Murray type 3; SCBI 35, 1520-1, same dies; B –; S 5564). Fine or better £100-£150 --- Provenance: Bt Edinburgh Coin Shop April 1981 Towards the end of this Twelve-Shilling coinage, production standards began to slip - flans were oval rather than perfectly round, while dies, although seldom damaged, were often used until they were considerably worn.
Edward I and II (1297-1318), Occupation of Berwick, Pennies (2), both Berwick-upon-Tweed, class IVa, 1.52g/11h (SCBI North 1138, this coin; N 1078; S 1415); class IVc, 1.42g/2h (SCBI North 1141, this coin; N 1080; S 1415) [2]. About very fine, toned £120-£150 --- Provenance: First P. Thorburn Collection, J.J. North Collection [from P.T. January 1952], W.J. Conte Collection, bt C.J. Martin March 2003; second J.J.

Alexander III (1249-1286), First coinage, Sterling, type IIIb, Perth, Ion Cokin, ion co rin onp’, ‘scissors’ x, 1.49g/11h (cf. SCBI 35, 129-130; B 39, fig. 112, same obv. die; S 5043). About very fine but part flat £150-£200 --- Provenance: Bt Edinburgh Coin Shop, c. 1982 Originally read as Corin, it has been suggested that the moneyer may have been one Iohannes Cokyn who was witness to a land charter in 1240 and an ex-Provost of the burgh.
Alexander III (1249-1286), Second coinage, Sterling, class D1/E mule, mm. cross potent on obv., pattée on rev., lettering incurved, bust left, rev. long cross, one star of five, three mullets of six points in angles, 1.32g/2h (SCBI 35, –; B 55/36, figs. 162/168; S 5057/5056). About very fine and excessively rare £200-£300 --- Provenance: Bt M. Roberts July 2016 The vendor notes ‘This coin is of extreme rarity, possible unique. In the Stewart/North die study, there is no listing of a class D1 with a 23-point reverse, nor a D2 for that matter. There is no published example of this coin from any hoard. This reverse die, however, is found coupled with a normal E2 obverse.
Alexander III (1249-1286), First coinage, Sterling, ‘post-Brussels A’, Berwick, Iohan, ioh an on ber, pelleted hair (two vertical rows), smaller lettering, 1.38g/6h (SCBI 35, –; B 15-16, figs. 91-2; cf. S 5048). About very fine £200-£260 --- Provenance: Stray metal detector find, Morpeth (Northumberland), 2007 This coin has lettering from mixed medium- and small-sized founts.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Groat, class ‘A8’, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, small young bust, tressure of six arcs (less well defined), nothing in spandrels, saltire and crosslet stops, reads rcx and cotorvm, double crosslet at end of legend, nothing after villa, extra saltire stop after first ms, 4.42g/5h (SCBI 35, –; cf. B 11, fig. 258; S 5091). Very fine £240-£300 --- Provenance: Lord Grantley Collection, Part V, Glendining Auction, 18-19 May 1944, lot 1718 (part); DNW Auction 55, 8 October 2002, lot 664 The odd spellings of rcx and cotorvm, while looking like die-sinker’s errors, are almost certainly deliberate as the vendor has traced another two dies with the same details as Burns fig. 258, including the final double crosslet, this coin being from one of them. While Stewart, following Davidson, omitted these dies from his list, the vendor places this group as the penultimate type of class A replacing Stewart’s A8 which therefore becomes ‘A9’ and introduces the ornate A as found on class B dies.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Groat, class A7/class B mule, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée on obv., cross fourchée on rev., small young bust, tressure of six arcs, nothing in spandrels, crosslet stops, double saltire after scotorvm, reversed d below v of vill, 4.19g/11h (SCBI 35, –; Burns 15b, fig. 254A, same obv. die; S 5091/5097). Good fine but weakly struck, an unpublished Aberdeen/Edinburgh die link, extremely rare £200-£300 --- Part of the Cross Fourchy group, this coin reuses an old class A die with a late class B Cross Fourchy issue reverse. In all the published literature, this obverse die has always been stated to be used at Aberdeen only. However at some point it was returned to Edinburgh to be used in its now damaged state [note the oval die break between the mouth and sceptre-handle] with an Edinburgh reverse.
Robert III (1390-1406), Heavy coinage, Second issue, Groat, Edinburgh, mm. cross potent, tressure of seven arcs, trefoils on some cusps, nothing on breast, double pellet stops, rev. three pellets in quarters of cross, double saltire stops after dns, ms, z, villa and rgh, 2.54g/11h (SCBI 35, 565-6, SCBI 72, 170 and B 37, fig. 381, same dies; S 5166). Small striking split at 6 o’clock, very fine £200-£300 --- Provenance: Sheriff T. Mackenzie Collection, Sotheby Auction, 21-2 February 1921, lot unspecified; Dr J. Davidson Collection, Part II, DNW Auction 60, 9-10 December 2003, lot 384 Groats of this sort from Edinburgh are generally referred to as Second issue/First issue mules, since the reverse die was produced using the same fount of letter-punches as the final variety of the First coinage. Of that, two obverses and four Edinburgh reverses are recorded. three of the reverses recorded with Second Coinage obverses. The weight and die axis of this coin do not correspond with those given in the DNW 60 catalogue but the cataloguer notes that the following lot DNW 60, 385 has the same weight and die axis as lot 384. It would appear to be a copy-and-paste error in the cataloguing.
Robert III (1390-1406), Heavy coinage, First issue, Groat, Edinburgh, mm. cross potent, tressure of seven arcs, trefoils on cusps, lis and crescent stops, rev. three pellets in quarters of cross, lis and crescent stops after dns, villa and rgh, 2.86g/3h (cf. SCBI 35, 552 same rev. die; SCBI 72, 90-2, same obv. die; B p.291, fig. 353A, same obv. die; S 5164A). Very fine or better, the variety very rare £200-£300 --- Provenance: Bt Edinburgh Coin Shop December 1980 At the beginning of the lis and crescent issue, there are a number of dies showing a large a. These mainly have a flat top-bar, broken on many dies, but this die has a large a with symmetrical droops, the only obverse die to show this. It can also be seen on this reverse die. Some coins around this time show what cataloguers have described as an ‘elongated face’. The vendor notes that this is not due to the introduction of different punches but purely by positioning the crown (and sometimes the hair) slightly higher. It may be an idiosyncrasy peculiar to one particular die-sinker.
Robert II (1371-1390), Groat, Phase 3/2 mule, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, normal ‘Robert II’ head, tressure of six arcs, trefoils in spandrels, cross on sceptre-handle, b behind head, line below bust, double crosslet stops, nothing after scottorv, crescent and crosslet after dns, plain a both sides, 4.00g/11h (SCBI 35, 458, same dies; B 8, fig. –, same obv. die; S 5132 var.). On a full flan, very fine or better, the variety rare £300-£400 --- Provenance: CNG eAuction 430, October 2018 (533); bt ABC Coins October 2018 Mrs Murray noted the existence of a coin struck from this obverse die before the addition of the small b behind the King’s head (NMS Collection). See comment by Mrs Murray, SCBI 35, 459 note and previous lot.
Robert III (1390-1406), Heavy coinage, First issue, Groat, Edinburgh, mm. cross potent, tressure of seven arcs, large trefoils on cusps, triple pellet stops, double saltire after scotorvm, rev. three pellets in quarters of cross, double saltire stop after dns and p of ptector, inner legend without stops, rs replace bs in legend both sides, 2.58g/11h (SCBI 35, 533, same dies; cf. SCBI 72, 20; cf. B 3, fig. 340; S 5164A). Very fine or better, rare thus £200-£300 --- Provenance: Bt M. Vosper May 2013 This coin belongs to a group of eleven early intermediate obverse dies linking the single Type I obverse with the main coinage. Each of these dies shows alterations, changing from die to die until the layout matches the main coinage. This is the third die in the sequence, using the r punch for b, small letter v. double saltires after the legend and the bust with lank hair and rounded shoulders. The p in the outer reverse legend is from an oversize punch.
David II (1329-1371), Second coinage, Class A, Groat, class A01, Edinburgh, mm. cross pattée, small young bust, tressure of seven arcs, nothing in spandrels, saltire stops, ornate v in david, 4.64g/9h (SCBI 35, 364, same obv. die; B 8, fig. 254, same obv. die; S 5091). Better than very fine, toned, very rare £300-£400 --- Provenance: Bt Spink May 1987 Lord Stewartby updated his original listing of Class A Groats in ‘The Scottish Coinage’ in the following articles - ‘Unpublished Scottish Coins II’ (NC 1956) and ‘A 14th Century Hoard of Scottish Groats from Balleny Townland Co. Down’ (BNJ 1964), pointing out features which suggested that certain groats should be positioned very early in the series, perhaps right at the start. The vendor has designated such groats as A01-A03. The current specimen has three such features, (a) the ornate letter U used to represent the V of king’s name, (b) the tressure of seven arcs which appears to be an early experimental feature and soon abandoned and (c) a very large central pellet in the head of the sceptre. The obverse die of this coin is as Balleny Townland Hoard no. 1. Many of the early dies vary considerably in detail from one to another, suggesting die-cutters were innovating and experimenting before later settling on a formula for a sustained production run.
Robert III (1390-1406), Heavy coinage, First issue, Groat, Edinburgh, mm. cross potent, tressure of seven arcs, trefoils on cusps, lis and crescent stops, rev. three pellets in quarters of cross, lis and crescent stops after dns, villa and rgh, r over s in ptector, 2.92g/4h (cf. SCBI 35, 553-9 for rev.; SCBI 72, 107, same dies; B 10, fig. 353; S 5164A). Slightly small of flan but full weight, very fine or better £200-£300 --- Provenance: Bt Spink June 2000 The obverse of this coin is distinctive in that it has a rounded face unlike the normal bust for the series. The vendor knows of no other die which shows this face.
Robert III (1390-1406), Heavy coinage, Second issue, Groat, Perth, mm. cross potent, tressure of eight arcs (one very indistinct below bust), trefoils on some cusps, nothing on breast, trefoil stops, rev. three pellets in quarters of cross, saltire and pellet stops after dns, p, ms, villa and de, 2.70g/12h (SCBI 35, 574 same obv. die; SCBI 72, 231-2 and B 17, fig. 361, same dies; S 5170). Obverse about very fine and slightly double struck, reverse good very fine, toned £200-£260 --- Provenance: Bt Mayfair Coin Co July 1979 Although referred to as the ‘Second issue’, these early Perth Groats were probably struck concurrently with the Edinburgh three-pellet series; the two mints operating quite separately at the time. The Perth coinage had a somewhat experimental look at this period, with details changing from die to die. This is the only known obverse with trefoil stops.
James I (1406-1437), First Fleur-de-lis issue, Groat, Edinburgh, type III, mm. cross pattée, tressure of eight arcs, lis on neck, crosses on each shoulder, saltire to left of bust, i to right and on sceptre handle. reads iacobvs and tracia, rev. lis with pellet in first quarter, lis with saltire in third, three pellets with small central pellet in second and fourth quarters, quarter, centre of cross unclear, lis stops both sides, 2.37g/5h (SCBI 35, –; SCBI 72, 479; B 22, fig. 460, same obv. die; S 5195). Striking split at 2 o’clock and surfaces lightly scratched, otherwise good fine, an extremely rare variety £240-£300 --- Provenance: Dr J. Davidson Collection, Part II, DNW Auction 60, 9-10 December 2003, lot 398; DNW Auction 78, 19 June 2008, lot 526 Three crown punches were in use throughout the issue of type III (Burns style III). Crown 1 was used for most of the issue. Crown 2 was used on only one die with the sceptre to the king’s left and has not been traced on any other die. Crown 3 occurs on four dies produced at the end of the issue (including this one). Although infrequently used the central lis of this crown quickly broke, as can be seen on this coin. This crown could have been composite. The vendor has not traced any other example of this obverse die except for the Burns coin.
Alexander III (1249-1286), First coinage, Sterling, ‘post-Brussels A’, Berwick, Iohan, ioh an on ber,pelleted hair (irregular rows), small lettering, 1.30g/2h (SCBI 35, –; cf. B –14-16, figs 90-2; cf. S 5048). Good very fine £300-£360 --- Provenance: Bt ABC Coins and Tokens March 2018 The vendor notes this coin has medium sized lettering
Edward I and II (1297-1318), Occupation of Berwick, Pennies (2), both Berwick-upon-Tweed, class I/IIa mule, wide face, 1.30g/7h (SCBI North –; N 1071/1073; S 1415); class IIb, 1.50g/12h (SCBI North 1128, this coin; N 1074; S 1415) [2]. First with obverse off-centre and partly weak otherwise both about very fine and toned, scarce £100-£150 --- Provenance: First J.J. North Collection [from Baldwin July 1993], bt C.J.

Traces of mounting (?) and edge hammered up, otherwise very fine, bright from past cleaning £300-£400 --- Provenance: North Yorkshire Moors Collection, Part III, DNW Auction 168, 29 January 2020, lot 1020 [from Coin Galleries 1970] The vendor notes that this reverse die has a small rectangular privy mark before the 8 of the date. Another has a lozenge in the same place, while a third has a rectangle before one of the 5s.
