Description

George IV Sixpence 1825, S3814, MS66 NGC, Laureate Bust, a subtle coin in super-high condition, which is a rarity in this series, where the best seen are usually MS63-level coins. The strike here is nearly medallic, with all the curls and other features of the king's portrait deeply detailed, while the central features of the shield are far sharper than normally encountered. Surfaces and rims are exceptional, as the "66" grade indicates. Toning is a dusky amber gray. A fully original, premium example. In England, you might occasionally find a choice piece (63-64) priced at the equivalent of U.S. $450-550, which makes the premium for this coin seem modest indeed.
