Watch List notes:

Charles I (1625‑49), Pattern Silver halfgroat, by Nicholas Briot (first milled issue 1631‑32), no mintmark, toothed outer border both sides, bare‑headed bust in ruff and collar right, legend reads CAR DG MAG BRIT FRAN ET HI R. Rev, crowned interlinked Cs within wire line circle, B below with pellet either side, legend surrounds FIDEI DEFENSOR, edge plain, 1.42 (S.2856A; N.2687; JGB.1255 ). Lightly toned with mirrored fields both sides, an excellent depiction of the King, showing up much of the finer details, clear fields and concise legends. Rev, much underlying mint bloom with hues of amber blending in with the Silver, the interconnecting C's bold as is the crown above. Extremely fine, rare so well preserved. Fetching.
