Lot 2594
Great Britain. Silver Shilling, 1823. George IV Laureate Head. Reverse: crowned shield inside garter. S-3811. Very rare date! EMC-1199, rated "R5, extremely rare in mint state." That reference is now 30 years old, and time-proven in its insights into the rarity of many British milled coins in high grade. The cataloguer has never seen or heard of a Gem of this date! Here is one of the finest to be found, ever, no matter how long you search: NGC graded MS62. Strong luster with no evidence of wear, usual softness of strike on the reverse but the portrait is highly detailed, lovely iridescent golden green toning, beneath which are a number of fine lines and small abrasions, accounting for the "62" assigned "grade." Nonetheless, about as fine as exists, and a major opportunity for the aware date collector! NGC graded MS-62.
Estimated Value $950 - 1,200.
