Description
George II Crown 1741, S3687, AU58 NGC, Roses reverse, "D. Quarto" edge, a truly beautiful specimen in every respect: centered dies, consistent sharp strike on both sides, the portrait handsome, the surfaces showing hardly a blemish, some interesting recutting on obverse legend letters, the reverse shield superbly rendered, "7" in date sharply ghosted by recutting, the king's English and German abbreviated Latin titles all crisply detailed, light die breaks horizontally on upper reverse, rims sharp and clean, and much remnant luster beneath rich, bluish gray and mauve iridescent toning. The cataloguer has seen a number of MS examples of this type and date that could not compare in eye appeal to this specimen -- a splendid example of the Young laureate Bust crown coinage.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 38.61mm
Weight: 30.1002g
ASW: 0.8951oz
