Great Britain
Commonwealth 1/2 Crown 1660 VF25 NGC, Tower mint, Anchor mm, KM391.2, S-3216, ESC-61 (R4) (prev. ESC-442), N-2723. 14.85gm. One of the most popular issues of the entire Commonwealth series in silver, due in part to this date's general scarcity and size, where even damaged examples bring a premium. This exceptionally pleasing piece possesses a uniform pewter patina enhanced by lavender accents and even, honest wear to cap the grade. Only two examples have been certified by either major grading service, the current example and the next lot. To have two examples in the same sale of an issue that is seen only once every few years will certainly entice bidders of this highly collectible series.
