Description

George II Proof 1/2 Crown 1746 PR65 NGC, KM584.2, S-3696. An exceptional survivor from England's first Proof Set, 100 of which were produced for the benefit of contemporary collectors. One of the major defining aspects of the 1746 Proofs (besides their central and exact strike and overall high quality of production) is their pronounced edge dentils and razor-sharp rims which give an immensely satisfying appearance. The present gem-level specimen has developed a gorgeous toning, steel-blue and gold cloaking George's bold portrait. Every feature of the design is crisply represented, and no wear nor significant marks have marred its surfaces in the 273 years since its striking. A premium offering of this early Proof type.
