[2336] Great Britain. Proof Halfcrown, 1746
<Our item number 77570><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> Proof Halfcrown, 1746.</B> George II. S-3696. Old laureate bust. Plain reverse angles. A three-year type with this combination of portrait and reverse shield, consisting of the Proof-only 1746, and 1750 and 1751. As it was made in such limited numbers, this style is today quite rare in high grade. Very few of the two commercial dates are known in Uncirculated, and the 1746 Proofs are mostly seen &#34;disturbed&#34; by less than perfect handling over the past 260 years. This example speaks of the care taken by the Cheshire collector in wanting only high-end coins in his holdings. A very choice example, its details all sharply impressed by the proofing press, and handsomely toned darkish gray with iridescent highlights including some flashy bluish green hues. Light hairlines in the fields detract very little from the aesthetic appeal. One of just 100 struck, all for sets made by the Royal Mint, for the first time in its history, specifically for collectors. <B>NGC graded Proof 64.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;3,000-3,300. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 77570<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077570.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077570N2.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.
