Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Charles I Halfcrown 1643, Oxford, KM214.5, S-2954, MS63 NGC. With just an insignificant planchet crack on the obverse between the horse's hind legs and some typical unevenness around the edges, this is a superior example for the type. Most coins of this issue feature uneven weak striking that severely affects the overall eye appeal, but this coin is a standout in that the devices are largely struck-up, with the only weakness apparent being along the legend.
Estimate: 1200-1500 USD
