[2278] Great Britain. Halfcrown, 1708
<Our item number 77567><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> Halfcrown, 1708.</B> Queen Anne. S-3604. Post-Union reverse, showing the re-arranged insignia of the shield, meant to hallmark the union of Scotland with the other kingdoms. Edge date not visible in the slab but probably &#34;SEPTIMO.&#34; Here for your bidding pleasure in an incredible coin! A coin of exquisite eye-appeal, showing booming luster, almost flawless surfaces possessing an unusual sheen, a crisp strike, and vibrant iridescent toning giving off a rainbow of colors: golden amber, mauve, blue, even some sea-green! Anne&#39;s portrait is beautifully detailed, showing each curl of hair in detail. The reverse shield is a study in minting quality, crisp in each quadrant with sharp shields at the outsides and a fully struck radiant sun at the center. The cataloguer can recall perhaps six Anne halfcrowns equal to this specimen, all dated 1708, over a period of some 25 years of looking at England&#39;s best. Should be worth a bid far in excess of Spink catalogue value for an EF example &#40;&#36;1700&#41;, the highest grade listed in that price guide. <B>NGC graded MS-64.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;3,500-4,000. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 77567<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077567.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077567N2.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.
