Commonwealth Proof Pattern 1/2 Crown 1651 PR64 PCGS, Sun mm, S-3215, North-2731 (R), ESC-443. Struck in a screw-press with collar, the fields of this piece retain hints of their original reflectivity beneath warm russet-gray tone. Slight cabinet friction along the peaks of the devices and a few stray adjustments along the rims have done little to diminish the eye-appeal. The obvious quality of Pierre Blondeau's engraving and production aside, pattern status here is confirmed by the edge inscription: IN THE THIRD YEARE OF FREEDOME BY GODS BLESSING RESTORED. Rare in any case, this particular example is a joy in hand. Superb!From The Law Collection
Estimate: 10000-15000 USD
