Lot 2329
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.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
