The grade is less than good.With the engraving maybe poor.
There are a few varieties and all fairly rare.
Putting a price on it is difficult because I should imagine a collector of Ch 11 crowns would have deep pockets.

Hi Peter, when you say deep pockets, could you give a rough estimate? The estimate for the auction is $100-$200 Australian Dollars or 55-110 Pounds.

In this condition and with engraving, it isn't worth much more than two to three times melt value.
An interesting piece to have in a collection, but that's about it. I have a 1662 Charles 11 crown in not much better condition, with light graffiti.
I guess that it is a relatively cheap way of adding a very early large silver milled coin to your collection. That is why I acquired mine.

Never buy a coin the seller refuses to let you look at closely.

So, if this were in a slab, they should crack it before they auction it to you?

Phil, it was in a flip. Apples and oranges.

My Coin Yearbook 2011 list common dates at 140 pounds in Fine condition, lowest grade listed.
I would think this piece would be two grades below fine. The engraving damage certainly does NOT help with the value.
Perhaps 60 Pounds may secure it, but I personally would NOT like to pay more than that.
