<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 13584842, member: 96746&quot;]A few more Civil War pieces</p><p><br /></p><p>A W/SA groat with rose/helmet marks. Much rarer than the lis/helmet marked coins, this piece appears to be the only unimpaired example outside the BM. ex. Montagu, O&#039;Hagan, Roth, Morrieson, Ryan, Baldwin and Brady collections. Had to wait 8 years for this to reappear after the Brady sale.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1530083[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Another groat, this time from Oxford. Morrieson 1644 F-2 with a Rawlins signed bust, ex Hamilton-Smith, Lockett, Asherson &amp; Brady. The other one is in the BM.</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1530084[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Bristol 1643 halfcrown with the early flat crown horseman. ex Ready, Hamilton-Smith, Lockett, Asherson, Morris and Christensen collections.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1530085[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>W/SA halfcrown with Allen dies I-40, ex Walters, Lockett, Asherson &amp; Dawson collections. One of two examples known, the other being ex Morrieson 564 and Ryan 1316 - last seen in 1952 and I haven&#039;t a clue where it is. The Boar&#039;s Head mark seen on the reverse is known on 12 coins, the pair of halfcrowns, one shilling and nine sixpences. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1530086[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>1643 Oxford halfcrown with Morrieson dies K-28.
