Charles I 1/2 Pound 1642 AU55 NGC, Oxford mint, Plume mm, KM235.7, S-2945, Brooker-867. 59.81gm. Exceedingly eye appealing for the type, benefitting from a crisp strike and clad in a deep cabinet patina that contributes a fitting sense of age. Light touches of golden tone overlie the steel-hued surfaces, while an abundance of minute die polish lines, arranged vertically to the reverse, highlight the near-Mint State quality of this captivating offering. Perhaps needless to say, quite scarce in this caliber of preservation, and currently the finest example certified across both major grading services.
