Lot 2298
Great Britain. Shilling, 1715. S.3645; ESC-1162. George I. First bust, Roses and plumes in angles. Light haymarking flakes on both sides. Otherwise gem quality with attractive silvery gray and light olive toning. Truly lustrous and choice! Also, first year of issue, and all of Georg Ludwig's silver is rare in such a well-preserved state. This was the high era of pirates in the Caribbean, and of postal spying in central Europe, of which the king's Hanover home was possibly the most important "vista" in the spy game. NGC graded MS-63.
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,700.
