Description
George III Twopence 1797, S3776, P1077, MS64 BN NGC, Soho mint. If you think the previous coin, graded MS64, was choice, wait till you examine this one -- and, please, if you can, examine it in person. The color here is that of the finest dark chocolate, with just a hint of pinkish red mint color, the strike is fabulous, and the surfaces -- oh, the surfaces! They are immaculate, gleaming with the most wonderful glossy sheen this cataloguer has ever seen on a twopence. Light bounces off it in a cartwheel fashion. This coin is a visual treat, and among the finest "cartwheels" to be seen anywhere, rivaling the eye appeal of the finest proof one might imagine, but it is not a proof -- it is a currency issue, and as such a miracle of survival! Worth runaway bids from knowing copper collectors who will appreciate what true quality in this series is. Nonpareil, in a word.From the Exeter College Collection
