Sale 31: The Pre-Long Beach Auction May 30 - June 1, 2005
             

             
            Lot 2328Great Britain. Silver Crown, 1741. George II. Young laureate 
            bust. Roses in reverse angles. S-3687. Edge not viewable in the slab 
            but designated as ESC-123, or "D. QVARTO" regnal year, by NGC. A 
            signal "Roses" crown, one of the prettiest imaginable. NGC graded 
            MS62, probably because of some light old hairlines in the attractive 
            medium gray toning. Strike is sharp all around, with no roller lines 
            visible this time. The luster gleams through the color, and there is 
            nary a mark, even the tiniest, anywhere on the coin. Handsome, and 
            rare so fine. NGC graded MS-62. 
            Estimated Value $3,500-3,750. 

            Provenance: The Cheshire Collection.
             Realized $3,500
