PCGS graded Specimen 64. The Right Honourable Charles James Fox was a British Whig politician and statesman whose parliamentary career spanned 38 years of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.Fox rose to prominence in the House of Commons as a forceful and eloquent speaker with a notorious and colorful private life, though at that time with rather conservative and conventional opinions. However, with the coming of the American War of Independence and the influence of the Whig Edmund Burke, Fox's opinions evolved into some of the most radical to be aired in the British Parliament of his era. Fox became a prominent and staunch opponent of King George III, whom he regarded as an aspiring tyrant. He supported the American Patriots, he became noted as an anti-slavery campaigner, was a supporter of the French Revolution and a leading parliamentary advocate of religious tolerance and individual liberty.
