Lot 2172
Great Britain. Commonwealth (1649-60) silver Crown, 1652/1. S-3214. ESC-5 ("very large 2 of date over 1" and given a rarity rating of R3 in the ESC method, thus called "extremely rare" as a variant). A beautiful example of this massive crown with lovely, reflective, old-time gray surfaces, full bold legends and date, jumbo rims, and very little double-striking. The dies were also aligned or rotated at a 45-degree variance from the norm. Stunning for a Commonwealth crown, about as nice as they come, and a rare overdate as well! NGC graded AU-55.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
