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

             
            Lot 2332Great Britain. Silver Crown, 1750. George II. Old laureate 
            bust. S-3690. Edge not readable in the slab. Plain fields in the 
            angles of the reverse shield. An attractive coin, unusually so, 
            despite light hairlines beneath its handsome golden gray toning. 
            Also to be seen are remnants of lacquer, which is easily removed if 
            so desired. The strike is unusually sharp, with even the highest 
            points of the king's long wig well defined, and a lot of crispness 
            of detail in the reverse shield. A rare type in quite a presentable 
            condition. NGC graded MS-62. 
            Estimated Value $4,750-5,250. 

            Provenance: The Cheshire Collection.
             Realized $3,750
