GREAT BRITAIN. Crown, ND (1645-46). London Mint; mm: sun. Charles I. PCGS AU-55. S-2761; N-2199; Brooker-275 (same dies). Group 5. Struck under Parliament. Obverse: Charles, holding sword and reins, riding horse trotting left; Reverse: Garnished oval coat-of-arms. It is rather difficult to discern where the scant amount of gentle handling ends and the minor striking weakness--<em>typical for the type</em>--begins, leaving this as a premium-quality example for the grade assigned. Alluring cabinet tone radiates throughout, with some charming hints of brilliance evident in the protected areas. Undoubtedly <strong>VERY RARE</strong> in this great state of preservation. <strong>To view all items from the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=Salton+Collection&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.<p>Ex: F.
