Lot 2338
Great Britain. Halfcrown, 1751. George II. S-3696. Old laureate bust. Plain reverse angles. Edge not viewable in the slab. Rarest date of the three years in which this style was minted. 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. Very rare in this lovely Uncirculated grade! NGC graded MS-63.
Estimated Value $2,750 - 3,000.
