[2222] Great Britain. Silver Crown, 1687
<Our item number 77589><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> Silver Crown, 1687.</B> James II. S-3407. Second draped bust. Edge not viewable in the slab, probably &#34;TERTIO.&#34; Very scarce type, usually not found much better than VF. This reign was very short, producing some of the rarest milled coins, in various denominations, of the century. This is the one date crown that does, occasionally, appear in Uncirculated condition. Excellent eye appeal thanks to strong luster and bright amber-gold iridescent toning, of which the coin simply sparkles, but given the 62 number because of a long, ancient scratch in the field to the left of the portrait, right along the bottom of the legend and not all that noticeable. The flan, however, is exceptionally nice &#40;without the usual black flaws&#41; and overall the strike is better than usual albeit there is a touch of softness at the top of the king&#39;s hair and on the opposite side at the top of one shield. However, the centers are well defined and th e portrait is very pleasing! <B>NGC graded MS-62.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;3,500-4,000. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 77589<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077589.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077589N2.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.
