Description
George IV Shilling 1825, S3812, Bare Head, Lion reverse, MS67 PCGS, Superb gem UNC, fully struck and so wonderfully detailed that the curly-haired portrait seems "marble-like," and of course it was based on a famous marble bust admired by the king, the lion's face on reverse also fully detailed, luster cascading in a cartwheel flash under exquisite golden blue iridescent toning. This is just a magnificent coin and "top of the pop" in PCGS parlance, possibly the highest graded of this type and date.
