Lot 2243
Great Britain. Silver Crown, 1695. William III. S-3470. First bust. Edge not viewable in the slab but designated by NGC as "SEPTIMO." First year of issue for this king. A delightful specimen! Medium golden gray toning, but bright, evenly distributed on both sides, providing premium eye-appeal. Well struck, the king's hair well defined and the reverse shield exceptionally sharp in all details. Nice high rims and wide denticles. Evidence of die-rust in the fields, and a touch of black alloying flecks in the metal. One of the most pleasing to be found! Very rare in this exalted grade. NGC graded MS-63.
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,400.
