Great Britain: William IV Shilling 1836,...

Description

William IV Shilling 1836, S3835, MS66 PCGS, Superb Gem Uncirculated, yet another astounding coin! This is possibly even a little prettier than the 1834 shilling in this collection, as the luster is more evenly satiny, the strike is particularly bold, the surfaces are all but flawless, and the color consists of vivid shades of amber-gold, olive-green, and lush tan. Very few collections, even the most advanced and thorough, contain a single superb shilling of this type, let alone two wonderful MS coins and a fabulous proof. You could go to England, spend two weeks and a couple of thousand dollars in travel expense, visit every dealer in the country, and quite likely not come home with even a single choice William IV shilling -- yet here, available temporarily from the comfort of the auction room, or the convenience of internet bidding, are three of the finest of these imaginable. All you need do is bid. Once these are sold, forget it, you won't easily find remotely similar coins.
