<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 5237619, member: 96746&quot;]Charles I 1a3 halfcrown with mintmark cross on steps. This is a lightweight issue, believed to have been struck between 14th August and 7th September 1626 when the weight standard was reduced from 92.75 grains per shilling to 80. Halfcrowns are much rarer than shillings for this brief issue. Sixpences are the smallest denomination where a positive attribution can be made and crowns are unknown.</p><p>This coin from the Middleham hoard (1993) with the typical colouring and surfaces as seen. Weight 13.04g instead of the normal 15g.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1217563[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
