Charles I half crown

The Winchester Hoard thread reminded me of this:

I must have had it three or four years without really studying it. I think it's Aberystwyth, 1638/9 S2880? It doesn't fit in with anything else I have and, I'm not getting the hammered bug this late in the game so; how does it grade and where should I try to sell it?

I'd be interested in buying this, how much do you want for it? I'd grade it GF for type.

Thanks

Off the bat, I'd say

I'd agree with Nicholas. It looks decent on the reverse with little obvious wear, suggesting the portrait is more weakly struck than perhaps worn. Do you know the weight Bagerap?

As for where ... since there's interest here you might find it simpler to 'do a deal' on predecimal. It would certainly be quicker than putting into an auction ... and less fees than that or eBay.

I've sold to several members here and I believe we've all been happy with how it went.

Just an idea.
