- The Single Finest Certified of this Classic Newark Besieged Issue by PCGS GREAT BRITAIN. First Civil War. Newark Besieged. 1/2 Crown, 1646. Charles I. PCGS AU-53. KM-371; S-3140A; N-2638; Korchnak-448; Mailliet-pl. LXXXIII #1; MO-4.9.4.1. Weight: 15.07 gms. 36.5 mm x 33.3 mm. Siege: 26 November 1645 - 8 May 1646. Irregular lozenge flan with a jeweled crown flanked by C-R, denomination below XXX; Reverse: Inscription in three lines; Legend: OBS:/NEWARK/1646. This charming and very attractive survivor exhibits boldly struck central designs with signs of wear primarily on the high points displaying lovely rich old cabinet patina with an iridescent sheen. This wholly original looking example is pleasing to the eye and is vastly superior than normally encountered. A relic from this turbulent civil war period that ultimately saw the royalist forces concede tightly held Newark on May 6, 1646, the day after King Charles I had fled the fortress in secret to surrender himself personally to the besieging Scots. Estimate: $2,000 - $4,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
