[2188] Great Britain. Silver Crown, 1672
<Our item number 77587><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> Silver Crown, 1672.</B> Charles II. Third bust. S-3358. Edge not readable in the slab but &#34;V. QVARTO.&#34; These early milled coins possess many wonderful characteristics, tiny differences which make them enjoyable to study. On this coin the &#34;2&#34; in the date is a huge fat digit compared to the thin &#34;7&#34; just before it. But we quibble. Here indeed is a lovely coin showing only slight wear and a simply wonderful balance of the components which total up to what we like to call &#34;eye appeal.&#34; The strike is even and sharp on both sides, with both a delicately detailed shield on reverse and a sensitive portrait of King Charles. Luster emanates from beneath dark gray toning glinting with iridescent hues. A few minute marks and some faint black carbon impurities in the metal, but these are nothing. This is among the finest examples of a 3rd Bust crown to be found anywhere, a highlight of this section of the Cheshire Collec tion. The consignor notes that this special coin was protected for centuries, and that he does not believe a finer example of the date exists. <B>NGC graded AU-58.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;6,500-7,000. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 77587<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077587.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077587N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
