I bought this last month at just under melt value as silver was rising. I was lucky as a dealer was unburdening old stock. I thought that if silver increased any more I would not be so inclined to buy one. My main reason for buying was that I have a number of 17th Century Charles 1 Half Crowns and I would never be in a position to buy a original coin that would show all these details. The coin arrived in a nicely lacquered black wooden box with a descriptive leaflet. This is a thick Piedfort flan and a 2 ounce coin. This is the Charles I Half Crown it replicates.# Large Silver Hammered Half-Crown Charles I 1643-1644 Tower Mint Weight 14.84 g Mint Mark (P) In Brackets If you have any old/new coins, let's see them. I have a Greek One Euro with an Athena Owl reverse somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.
