Cromwell Crown 1658/7 AU Details (Obverse Tooled) NGC, Royal mint, ESC-10, S-3226. Obv. Laureate bust of Cromwell left. Rev. Crowned arms dividing the date, 16-58. Sharply struck, with light, to moderate, gray patina. It appears that the obverse die-break, so prevalent on many of these Cromwell Crowns, and running from the "O" of "OLIVAR," across Cromwell's chest, ending at the "O" of "PRO," has had an attempted removal. Close examination reveals light scraping along the length of the die-break. Even with this light damage, the overall appearance is pleasing, as the strike is bold and only light marks noticeable.
