Description

William III Crown 1700, S3474, MS64 PCGS, edge not visible in slab but the grading insert notes Dvodecimo, a great coin! Absolutely Mint State, in fact very choice, or "FDC" or Gem, or whatever you please to call it. Very rare grade and in fact few of the truly Uncirculated coins that exist from this reign possess the pizzazz of this coin. Its qualities are many: a balanced, nice sharp impression everywhere, portrait having excellent detail, most of the high denticled rims are present and serve to showcase the designs, and then there is the cascading "hard" cartwheel luster, and the gleaming bright iridescent golden blue toning, all of which means 100% originality - all this adds up to outstanding eye appeal, a super-quality crown, last of the big silver from this monarchy. This piece clearly came from the small hoard of William III silver discovered some years ago in a safe in London, and disbursed about a decade ago.

Metal: Silver
Diameter: 38.61mm
