GREAT BRITAIN. 1/2 Pound, 1643. Oxford Mint. Charles I. PCGS EF-40. S-2945A; N-2404; Brooker-Appendix I, 15. Declaration type. Obverse: Charles, holding sword and reins, riding horse trotting left; plumes to right, pile of arms on ground line below; Reverse: Declaration in two lines between two parallel lines; three plumes above. A <strong>RARER </strong>type than the 1642-dated version, this charming specimen features a deep gray tone and some darker accents highlighting the devices. Some typical striking weakness is observed on the obverse, but the overall level of handling is quite light, yielding a great wholesome nature. <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.
