Description
James II Crown 1687, S3407, MS62 NGC, ex Millennia Collection, a handsome coin with bright iridescent golden bluish green toning evenly distributed on both sides, a fairly strong strike showing more detail than usually seen at the top of the king's curly hair and on the laurel wreath, although there are light mint adjustment lines through this area, surfaces very appealing with few abrasions but normal light tin flecks in the silver alloy, the obverse die was rusted producing the familiar slightly pebbled look in the luster, most of the reverse bold in detail including the often weak date, each die well centered giving the coin a fine appearance, and the entire coin is gleaming with luster. Finer specimens exist but this one is very nice indeed and is an exceptional example of this short-lived crown type.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 38.61mm
