Oliver Cromwell 1/2 Crown 1658 MS62 NGC, KMB207, S-3227A, ESC-252. Due to their rarity and historical significance, Cromwell coinage is popular in any condition. Unusually, however, do specimens appear as highly graded as the present example, nor with as much eye appeal! Despite its admirable Mint State certification the present offering still appears conservatively graded, exhibiting very little weakness whatsoever, a superb strike with silky gray surfaces and an iridescent ring at the legends. The reverse boasts a great deal of stark steel-blue luster residing within the cental shield and light gold highlights in the field. Beautiful and rare, an outstanding example of a Cromwellian Halfcrown.
