Lot 419
Great Britain. Crown, 1818. S-3787; C-34. George III, 1760-1820. New Coinage of 1816-1820, with Benedetto Pistrucci's designs. Laureate Head right. Reverse: St George and the Dragon, within garter border. LIX edge. Extraordinarily sharp strike, with clean prooflike fields, and superb old toning, deepset with a pastel quality but somewhat iridescent, ranging from russet gray to steel blue. The quality of the strike, along with its pristine condition, would well support the notion of this coin being a presentation piece. Seems conservatively graded, as this is one of the finest ever seen of its type. NGC graded MS-65.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,500.
