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

             
            Lot 2334Great Britain. Halfcrown, 1736. S.3692; ESC-599. George II. 
            Young laureate bust left. Reverse: Roses and plumes in angles. The 
            coin has a somewhat streaky tone, but the sharpness of detail is 
            exceptional. The 1736 is not a date which is often seen in 
            Uncirculated state. The date is much rarer in high grade than the 
            1739 and 1741 Halfcrowns. One of the nicest Roses & Plumes 
            halfcrowns available; attached is a PCGS MS64 insert, indicating 
            that both major grading services agree how nice this coin is. NGC 
            graded MS-64. 
            Estimated Value $2,600-3,000. 

            Provenance: The Cheshire Collection.
             Realized $2,600
