    England: ca. 1623-1624 gold Laurel of James I, third coinage, lis mintmark

    NGC AU53. Cert. #6676567-012. Numista-52468, Krause-Mishler-73, Spink-2638B. Weight: 9.05 g.

    Ex-Atlas Numismatics, 17 June 2025, private trade. This is one of my most valuable single coins as of 2025. I traded two very nice pieces from my collection (a PCGS MS70 USA 2003 gold $50 and a PCGS MS61 1895-PG V Puerto Rico Peso) to acquire it.

    James I of England (who was also James VI of Scotland) is of course best known for the King James Bible, which was translated to English during his reign.

    Thanks.

    Me too, which is why I traded away a one-ounce gold bullion coin plus a $1,500 Puerto Rican coin to get this. Monetarily, I might’ve been better off keeping the 1-ounce USA gold Eagle, given what the price of gold has done lately. But a modern bullion coin is just not as interesting. I prefer something with history when I can get my hands on it.
