Hammer Price:
£210

Elizabeth I (1558-1603), Milled coinage, Threepence, 1562, mm. star, bust D, normal rose, reads elizabeih, 1.46g/6h (Borden/Brown 45, O1/R2; N 2035; S 2604). Creased, flat on portrait and scratches in reverse field, otherwise about very fine, rare £200-250

The obverse die seems to match Borden and Brown 45 O1, though they make no mention of the mis-spelling of the Queen’s name
