Great Britain: George III silver Proof Pattern Garter Dollar 1804 PR66 NGC,...

Description

George III silver Proof Pattern Garter Dollar 1804 PR66 NGC, ESC-182, KM-Pn66, Davis-21. Plain edge. C.H.K. on truncation. Struck over a Spanish colonial 8 Reales, with areas of the undercoin readily visible, especially in the legends. All examples of this type were struck over earlier coins, usually Spanish colonial 8 Reales. Obv. Laureate and draped bust of George III right. Rev. Small, circular crowned garter, encircling arms, with divided date 18-04 above and denomination (DOLLAR) below. The strike is quite bold for this overstruck issue, with nicely mirrored fields. The obverse has a bright argent-gray appearance, while the reverse has a touch of golden patina with small patches of russet color. Quite rare in this exceptional state of preservation.
Ex. Goldberg's sale of the Millennia Collection, May 2008, Lot 410, where it hammered at $14,000.
