GREAT BRITAIN. Crown, 1642. Shrewsbury Mint. Charles I. PCGS EF-45.
S-2926; N-2370; Brooker-809 (same obv. die). Declaration type. Obverse: Charles, holding sword and reins, riding horse trotting left; plumes above to right; Reverse: Declaration in two lines between two parallel lines; three plumes above. A RARER and enticing type from the ever-popular "declaration" series, this gently handled specimen exudes originality through only minor wear, an elegant strike, great gunmetal gray toning, and even some hints of brilliance accentuating the devices. The rather extensive pedigree adds that much more to its resounding appeal. To view all items from the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection, click
