Description
George II Proof Crown 1746, S3690, PR64 PCGS, very rare, a choice specimen with a full bold proof strike including gigantic, deep rim denticles on each side, the toning typical of original proofs of 1746, a dusky dark gray with light golden blue hues. These proofs are rarely seen with reflective mirror fields, being deeply toned, and here this reflectivity is indeed subdued, but still evident. Absolutely original, and truly rare: one of about 100 minted as part of the first full silver proof set made for collectors by the Royal Mint.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 38.61mm
Weight: 30.1002g
ASW: 0.8951oz
