GREAT BRITAIN. Pound, 1642. Shrewsbury Mint. Charles I. PCGS AU-50. S-2917; N-2361; Brooker-796 (same dies). Declaration type. Weight: 119.52 gms. Obverse: Charles, holding sword and reins, riding horse trotting left; plumes to right; Reverse: Declaration in two lines between two parallel lines; three plumes above. An impressive and wholesome piece, rather unusual given the large nature of the coin and the expanded chances of being damaged over the ensuing centuries. Evenly handled and pleasingly struck, with an alluring gunmetal gray tone throughout. Fairly <strong>RARE </strong>when encountered as splendid as is the case here. <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: W.
