Sale 31: The Pre-Long Beach Auction May 30 - June 1, 2005, Lot 2329<br>. Silver Crown, 1743. George II. Old laureate 
bust. Roses in reverse angles. S-3688. Edge not readable in the slab 
but designated as ESC-124, or regnal year "SEPTIMO," by NGC. Same 
reverse style as the 1741 crown, but now the portrait has aged, 
showing long wavy hair in a periwig. 
Uncirculated coin. Light iridescent gray toning. 
Letters outlined delicately in white luster. A small, fine scratch 
through the king's hair near his face is all but invisible. The 
strike is balanced and sharp. The surfaces enjoy a lustrous sheen 
seen on very few coins of the 18th century, and are a joy to inspect 
and appreciate! NGC graded MS-64. 
Estimated Value $4,500-5,000. 


 Realized $3,700
