Charles I "Newark Besieged" 1/2 Crown 1646 VF35 NGC, KM371, S-3140A. A deeply impressed example of this vastly popular "lozenge-shaped" necessity type, with moderate gray coloration in the depressed fields and cameo-like raised features that show in a contrasting, lighter shade. Several as-made planchet imperfections are noted purely for the sake of thoroughness, but the overall appearance is significantly above-average for the issue. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $2100 in VF, $5000 in EF.
Estimate: 2500-3000 USD
