[2592] Great Britain. Pattern silver Shilling, 1820
<Our item number 77715><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> Pattern silver Shilling, 1820.</B> George IV Laureate Head. ESC-1246 &#40;R5&#41;. Reeded edge &#40;just discernible in the slab&#41;. Style of S-3810 of 1821. An extremely rare coin &#40;R5 equates to 5-10 known, but the Cheshire collector notes knowledge of just 4 pieces&#41;. Prototype for the coming coinage, first of the new king, who of course had been Regent of England for years &#40;from 1811 onward&#41; under his father&#39;s dementia. This king became known for his exuberance and bravura, his high living, his love of all things sensual, and his artistic sensibilities. These seem all reflected in his coinage, among the most beautiful of all the English series. Here, however, is something very special, a superb piece that is really the predecessor of the great coins yet to be made. NGC graded PR64, but clearly a Gem Proof with a 100% strike. The mirrors are bright beneath the deep toning, which is an exquisite bluish gray, highlight ed by flashes of sun gold. An exquisite and utterly rare and elegant coin! In fact, without doubt the finest known example. <B>NGC graded Proof 64.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;6,000-7,000. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 77715<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077715.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/077715N2.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.
