Lot 3817
Great Britain. Crown, 1716. S.3639; ESC-110; Dav-1345. George I, 1714-1727. Obverse, laureate draped bust of king right by J R Ochs. Reverse, inverted die, crowned cruciform shields, roses and plumes in angles. Regnal year SECVNDO on edge in raised letters. With no evidence of wear, this superb, practically mint state specimen is well centered on a good flan. Attractively toned with good eye appeal, it has none of the striking imperfections usually associated with this date.
Nicer than the 1716 Crown in the EDJ Van Roekel Collection example, it is very difficult to recall a better looking Crown of this date. NGC graded AU-58.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
