Description
George II Proof Crown 1746, S3690, PF63 NGC, Choice Proof, a premium specimen from the rare sets struck in this year, the first full silver Proof Set ever made by the Royal Mint. Mintage: reputedly 100 pieces. This lovely piece sports deep and rich, premium gray toning with a subtle cast of bluish hues, indicative of originality. Surfaces are still nicely reflective. Of course the strike is a deep impression from the proofing dies. Raised lettered edge (not visible in the present slab.) One of the nicest examples seen by this cataloguer in many years. Should be worth close to 2010 SCBC value of £4,500 or perhaps full value as virtually no perfect or "FDC" examples exist. A classic from the middle of the 18th century.From the Highlands Park Collection of British Coins.
