Hammer Price:
£220

Victoria (1837-1901), Young Head, Shilling, 1867, third young head, die no. 16 (ESC 1317B). Obverse good very fine, reverse close to extremely fine, but cleaned, extremely rare in all grades (£220-250)

This coin apparently only appears with die numbers 16, 17, and 18. The ESC entry is misleading in this respect and whether coins with the die number 25 exist is far from certain.
