Lot 3230
Great Britain. Crown, 1658/7. S.3226; ESC-10. By Simon. Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector. A classic in super-nice condition! A really choice example. Reflective surfaces beneath dark bluish gray toning, with hues of gold iridescence. Some small marks and faint hairlines in the color. Struck from buckled dies, which produced the extensive die-break that runs entirely across the base of Cromwell's throat and through the top of the drapery. The overdate is crisp, sharp as can be. The very first milled English crown, and a joy to behold in every way, but particularly for its tone and prooflike surfaces. NGC graded MS-64.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 10,000.
