<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 4691423, member: 96746&quot;]Oxford 1643 halfcrown, Morrieson dies K-28. A strong reverse, so the Briot horseman correspondingly weak as is often the case. The large central plume on this coin is seen on late 1643 and early 1644 Oxford halfcrowns and presumably is coincident with the Oxford Parliament held by Charles between 22nd January 1643/4 and 16th April 1644. It must be significant, as there is one die where the large plume is erased and replaced with a small central plume and not seen at a later date. This coin ex W Talbot Ready 687pt, Sotheby 18/11/1920; G Hamilton Smith 339, Glendining 24/5/1927; V J E Ryan 1245, Glendining 22/1/1952; J G Brooker SCBI 33 no.901A, collection acquired by Spink 1979-80 and Alan Morris collection.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1153502[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
