- George IV white-metal Pattern Crown ND (1828-29), ESC-265A, L&S-43, MS63 NGC. An extraordinarily rare pattern. Linecar & Stone were able to track down only a few pieces of this type; they note that in the Wakley sale of 1909, three pieces "in pewter" sold for ten shillings. It is likely that no more than half a dozen examples of this type exist today. The only one that has sold publicly in recent years was an AU50 example that Heritage auctioned off in January, 2012, which hammered at $2,500. The present example is far superior in every regard, and has essentially no scratches or defects. This coin was clearly a presentation piece, and was preserved as such for the past two centuries. Realized $4,112.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- George III gold Proof "Rose" Guinea 1774, S-3728, WR-95 (rare), beveled plain edge, 4th laureate head, PR65 Cameo NGC. A piece struck to denote the first year of this mature portrait bust of King George. It is considered more elegantly engraved and more detailed in higher relief than the 5th Bust, or "Spade" guinea, type. Brilliant surfaces. The well-known, large die-bulge appears on the reverse field at about 4:00 near the legend; other smaller die-bulges or heavy die-rust patches also occur. While there is some evidence of handling over the years, very few pieces are known in unimpaired state. Realized $11,750.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- George III Pattern gold Third Guinea 1776, by Richard Yeo, WR-137 (R3), plain edge, PR65 NGC. A sharply struck and mirrored example of this popular pattern showing the British Lion crowned and standing upon a larger crown with the digits of the date 1776 split to the sides of the lion's head. Even rims and uniform sharpness are unusual aspects of this pattern, which usually lacks these fine qualities. Age-old gold patina adds to the eye-appeal. Some light handling and a few marks are noticed on and around the king's portrait. Struck for two years, 1775 and 1776, this date appeals strongly to American collectors for obvious reasons. This denomination was first used during the reign of George III, but only in the later years (beginning in 1801). This beautiful design was replaced by the flatly engraved, issued coinage featuring a crown on its reverse, rather than this charming, symbolically crowned lion. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $7,931.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- George III "Northumberland" Shilling 1763, S-3742, MS64 NGC. Exceptionally choice and fully Mint State. One of the finest examples to be seen, despite ancient contact marks on the portrait. It is bold in strike with perfect centering; the reverse is splendid in all aspects. The luster is "hard" and classic for this one-year issue; the light iridescent toning (silvery gold with greenish hues) is simply ideal for this piece. Stylistically, the "Northumberland" shilling differs from the various other types of shillings issued during this long reign. It stands alone as a denomination during the early years of George III; no other shillings were minted until 1787, and later from 1816 to 1820 during the New Coinage period. The Earl of Northumberland, Hugh Percy, visited Dublin in his capacity as Viceroy and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and had these coins minted so that he could distribute them, thereby gaining favor among the public. Most of the total mintage seems to have been used for money by the Irish, inasmuch as a shortage of silver currency existed at the time, and few pristine examples remain today. The number struck is unknown but is believed to have been some 3,000 pieces -- one of the lowest mintages of any type of shilling. Realized $3,290.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
