The 1686 first-bust Crown has stronger collector demand than many ordinary Charles II dates because James II Crowns are a short-reign series. CIS uses auction results, dealer comparables and grade sensitivity to judge whether a listed example is fairly priced or overextended.
James II Crowns begin as a short and important silver Crown series. The 1686 first-bust Crown uses sterling silver, a laureate and draped bust left, crowned cruciform shields reverse and a lettered SECVNDO edge.
Description
The 1686 Crown First Bust is the standard James II first-bust silver Crown with SECVNDO edge context. CIS separates it from the no-stops obverse variety so normal first-bust value and specialist variety premiums are not mixed.
