Extravagant and Well-Defined Declaration Pound from Oxford GREAT BRITAIN. Pound, 1642. Oxford Mint. Charles I. PCGS AU-53. S-2937; N-2396; Brooker-859 (same dies); Morrieson dies-A/1. Declaration type. Weight: 118.24 gms. Obverse: Charles, holding sword and reins, riding horse trotting left; plumes to right, pile of arms below; Reverse: Declaration in two lines between two parallel lines; three plumes above. Featuring deep cabinet toning and virtually no evidence of any actual handling, this impressive and monumental specimen would undoubtedly serve as a capstone piece in any advanced collection devoted to Charles I, the English Civil War, or oversized crowns of the world. The strike is quite impressive given the size as well as the era in which and conditions under which it was issued. Given the staggering RARITY, especially in this state of preservation, it should come as no surprise that this example stands alone as the sole graded for the type at PCGS. Estimate: $50,000 - $75,000. Provenance: From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection. Ex: V. J. E. Ryan Collection (Glendining - 1/1952) Lot # 1223. Ex: E. H. Wheeler Collection (Sotheby's - 3/1930) Lot # 412. Ex: George Hamilton-Smith Collection (Glendining - 5/1919) Lot # 20. To view all items from the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection, click here.
