Description
George II Proof Halfcrown 1746, S3696, PR63 PCGS, edge date just visible in slab, rare, original surfaces, medium silvery gray with golden iridescent hues, moderately reflective fields, full proof impression, tiny mark on king's cheek along with a light but long scratch from mid cheek to the field before the bridge of his nose, thin but long lint mark in the field by legend left obverse, light hairlines under the color, but these are the reasons for the "63" grade, in other words still a choice coin, the reverse nearly perfect, the toning dusky but alluring. Out from under a glass, however, this remains a beautiful coin, and a rare early proof from the first set purpose-made for collectors by the Royal Mint. Only about 100 pieces exist, this finer than many seen.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 32.30mm
