Lot 2316
Great Britain. 2 Guineas, 1739. S.3668; Fr-337. George II. Old head. Light golden tone. Although not the rarest of the 18th century Two Guinea dates, the 1739 George II Old Head rarely if ever now appears in high grade. This coin has superb glossy surfaces. NGC graded MS-63.

Lot 2319
Great Britain. Guinea, 1728. George II, First young laureate Head, second style with slightly smaller lettering in the legends. S-3671. Fr-339. As the owner of the Cheshire Collection points out, the Terner Collection did not possess this date. It is indeed deceptively rare, and almost impossible to own in the stunning grade of the coin offered here. The 1974 Douglas-Morris sale had one (lot 44) called Extremely Fine and "very rare." The cataloguer never saw that coin. It appears very sharp in the B&W pictures. It sold for 2,800 Pounds ($6,500) back in 1974. The Terner Collection did include a 1727 of this exact style (T1, lot 167), which was graded MS64 by PCGS and sold for $18,400 or nearly double our estimate. It is probably not an exaggeration to suggest that this coin is the finest known of its date. It's a coin of excellent eye-appeal and choice in quality. NGC graded MS-62.

Lot 2323
Great Britain. Gold Proof Half Guinea, 1728. George II. Young laureate bust. S-3681. WR-75. Plain edge. R4, 11-20 known. Extremely rare, a Proof of Record (intended for museum collections) of this, the first year struck in the new style, and the first half guinea of this king. A nice choice coin, struck in high relief as only a Proof could be, the tasteful portrait of the king in moderate cameo relief against reflective fields, all with a delicate orange-peel texture enjoyed only by gold Proofs. Interestingly, hammered gold was still seen occasionally in circulation in England during this year, being finally demonetized in 1733. Another perspective adds to the allure of the coinage of this era: it was the height of the days of pirates and buccaneers, some scoundrels outside the law and some unofficially in the employ of nations, sent to plunder treasure from ships at sea, to enrich both themselves (every sailor would get a "cut" of the bounty taken from any enemy vessel) and their homeland treasury. The gold used to mint this wonderful coin could, in fact, have been part of some such captured loot. Thus, out of high adventure, could come an elegant artistic "statement" of its era, like this gleaming gold Proof! Only a handful exist in all states of preservation. NGC graded Proof 63.

Lot 2326
Great Britain. Silver Crown, 1732. George II. Young laureate bust. Roses & Plumes in reverse angles. S-3686. Edge not viewable in the slab but designated as ESC-117, or "SEXTO" regnal year, by NGC. First year of the crown coinage for this king, the first Hanoverian to live full time in England and to speak English fluently. It's important to remember that, at the start of the 18th century, Hanover in Germany was an extremely wealthy and politically influential state. All of Europe's mail flowed through it, and spies plied government mail for secrets. George II came to the throne in 1727, at the death of his German father. His grandmother, the Empress Sophia, was chosen by Parliament to replace the defunct dynasty of the Stuarts, which ended with the passing of Queen Anne. England would have had a Queen Sophia, except that the empress died suddenly, leaving England to her son, who became George I. Born in 1683 in Hanover, he came to England in 1714 and, unlike his father, slowly became English. He had his faults and was not universally loved by his people, but he was a military man of ambition and honor. At the end of his reign, India became part of the empire, though George himself was at home and in horrible health. When he died at Kensington Palace, England entered upon a path of empire, known as the Georgian Age, in which the Hanovers lost the dearest possession England ever had, the American colonies. This wonderful crown is a signal memento of its age! Beautifully struck, with a crisp portrait of the king and a lovely sheen to its luster, it also has delightful light gray toning, the letters of the legend delicately outlined in white luster. Very faint roller lines appear in some of the king's hair. The cataloguer has seen a few Uncirculated 1732 crowns, this being one of the nicest. NGC graded MS-64.

Lot 2327
Great Britain. Crown, 1736. S.3686; ESC-121; Dav-1347. George II. Roses and plumes. Deeply toned. As noted several times elsewhere in this catalogue, the emblems which fill in the fields around the reverse cruciform shields denote that the silver used to coin this coin came from the West Country, specifically the Company for Smelting Pit Coale and Sea Coale. Seems romantic to us today perhaps, but doubtless this silver came from a lot of sweat and hard work in less than ideal working conditions. The owner of the Cheshire Collection points out that this date is quite rare, and that he feels it is superior to the lovely coin in the Van Roekel collection; many great crown collectors, he adds, never owned a 1736 Roses & Plumes, in any grade. This delightful specimen is deeply toned with just a hint of wear, and is probably one of the better survivors of its age. Many great crown collections were simply missing a top-notch example of the 1736 crown. NGC graded MS-62.

Great Britain. Silver Crown, 1741. George II. Young laureate bust. Roses in reverse angles. S-3687. Edge not viewable in the slab but designated as ESC-123, or "D. QVARTO" regnal year, by NGC. A signal "Roses" crown, one of the prettiest imaginable. NGC graded MS62, probably because of some light old hairlines in the attractive medium gray toning. Strike is sharp all around, with no roller lines visible this time. The luster gleams through the color, and there is nary a mark, even the tiniest, anywhere on the coin. Handsome, and rare so fine.

Great Britain. Silver Crown, 1743. George II. Old laureate bust. Roses in reverse angles. S-3688. Edge not readable in the slab but designated as ESC-124, or regnal year "SEPTIMO," by NGC. Same reverse style as the 1741 crown, but now the portrait has aged, showing long wavy hair in a periwig. This coin is truly sweet! An exceptionally fine Uncirculated coin. Light iridescent gray toning. Letters outlined delicately in white luster. A small, fine scratch through the king's hair near his face is all but invisible. The strike is balanced and sharp. The surfaces enjoy a lustrous sheen seen on very few coins of the 18th century, and are a joy to inspect and appreciate! NGC graded MS-64.

Great Britain. Silver Crown, 1746 LIMA. George II. Old laureate bust. S-3689. Edge not readable in the slab. Recut "6" in date. Bifurcated letters in the legends. Some will not like this coin, but to the cataloguer's eyes it enjoys a special elegance, coming from its deeply patinated toning, which is bluish black. Dark as it is, luster gleams through it. The cataloguer has no problem calling this Choice, original Uncirculated (Mint State); it is far nicer than almost all others seen, as commonly the nicer examples of the Lima crown are fairly drab in color, usually medium gray with not much "life" beneath the color, whereas this coin enjoys a special "dark bloom." In all, a beautiful coin of historical significance, saved no doubt by some patriot right after it was minted, to signify the hero Admiral Anson's victory of seizing, at sea, an immense treasure (mostly silver, but some gold), from a Spanish fleet he intercepted and overcame, on the far side of the world. The seizure took place off today's Philippine Islands, and the captured treasure was ore that had been mined in Peru. It is said that only two galleons protected eleven Spanish treasure ships. The ships were also seized and used to convey the treasure back to port, arriving in Portsmouth after months at sea and given a tumultuous welcome. British citizens lined the roads almost all the way to London, where the treasure was deposited at the Royal Mint, which produced these special commemoratives for nearly two years before the ore was used up! Today, however, the Lima coins have mostly perished, and almost none exist in Mint State. Few coins in all of numismatics enjoy such an adventurous origin! NGC graded MS-62.

Great Britain. Halfcrown, 1732. George II, young draped bust. Roses & Plumes reverse. S-3692. Edge not visible in the slab. Rare type, made from what is called "West Country" silver alloy, ore taken from mines in Wales and vicinity, supplied by the Company for Smelting Pit Coale and Sea Coale, whose symbols were the roses and plumes seen in the open quarters of the reverse shield. What we have here is a simply fabulous example, a wonderful Gem Uncirculated halfcrown, with almost perfect surfaces showing no abrasions of any note, a generally sharp and nicely balanced strike that shows only a touch of softness at the center of the reverse shield and perhaps in the deep recesses of the king's hair, which also shows lines through it, produced at the mint during the rolling process of the silver bar out of which blanks were stamped. These provide a glimpse at the minting technology of 1732. A little die-rust may be seen in the obverse field. The toning is a lovely golden silvery gray, with bright white luster peeking out here and there among the letters and devices. One of the finest of this type seen by the cataloguer over more than 25 years of working with British coins. NGC graded MS-65.

Great Britain. Proof Halfcrown, 1746. George II. S-3696. Old laureate bust. Plain reverse angles. A three-year type with this combination of portrait and reverse shield, consisting of the Proof-only 1746, and 1750 and 1751. As it was made in such limited numbers, this style is today quite rare in high grade. Very few of the two commercial dates are known in Uncirculated, and the 1746 Proofs are mostly seen "disturbed" by less than perfect handling over the past 260 years. This example speaks of the care taken by the Cheshire collector in wanting only high-end coins in his holdings. A very choice example, its details all sharply impressed by the proofing press, and handsomely toned darkish gray with iridescent highlights including some flashy bluish green hues. Light hairlines in the fields detract very little from the aesthetic appeal. One of just 100 struck, all for sets made by the Royal Mint, for the first time in its history, specifically for collectors. NGC graded Proof 64.

An elegant coin, with flashy luster beneath handsome dark-gray toning showing more than a few hues of bright iridescence. Cartwheel luster evident through the color. Not noted by the Spink price guide as a variant, but the lettering in the legends and the digits of the date are of an old-fashioned style, bifurcated and thinner than their complements on the 1750 halfcrown in this collection.

Lot 2344
Great Britain. Silver Shilling, 1758. George II. S-3704. Old laureate bust. Plain angles on reverse. Final year of issue, and in fact almost the last year for the shilling denomination in the 18th century. Coinage would resume in 1787 but then cease again until 1816. Why? Specie came under speculative pressure as war with France approached, and the long Napoleonic War than spanned the end of the century saw a near disappearance of both silver and gold from circulation, as well as copper, and this ushered in the age of the token. It has been said but never proven that 1758-dated shillings were struck for years, and the same for 1787 shillings in the next reign. More probable is that both were saved, hoarded, as money in times of peril. Both dates are common, but their commonality ends at about the VF+ grade for the 1758, and AU for the 1787. This 1758 is a lovely and quite scarce coin, made of "hard luster" and clashed dies, once dipped but now a pleasing golden gray in color. The digit "8" in the date is recut, a small narrow "8" over another. Nice strike. Very affordable but a classic of its age. NGC graded AU-58.

The last halfpenny struck under the previous king appeared in 1724, and Peck begins commenting on this reign by stating "Coining of copper was resumed under a warrant dated 21 July 1729 and signed by Queen Caroline in the king's absence." And this new start was cause for the minting of a small number of Proofs of the first year, 1729, a wonderful example being the coin in this lot. A very choice coin indeed. Its surfaces are glossy medium chocolate in color, replete with reflectivity, and the engraving is well struck.
