3511. Lot 30150

描述:: Victoria Pattern Shilling 1875, ESC-1404 (R6), PR66 NGC. Engraved by L.C. Wyon and B. Pistrucci, reeded edge. Wyon's Coronet Head left is here combined with Pistrucci's Saint George (slaying the dragon) reverse with date in exergue. This is a captivating coin of immense beauty and superb quality; its reflective surfaces are toned in bright silvery blue iridescent hues with golden highlights. R6 in ESC equates to 3 or 4 pieces known. The cataloguer has written about English coins for major auctions over a period of some 35 years but this is only the second time he has encountered this intriguing pattern bearing a reverse normally styled for the sovereign. Inasmuch as this pattern bears no designation of denomination (true of all sovereigns), it may just as reasonably be called a pattern sovereign struck in silver. However you may wish to view it, this is decidedly a wonderful coin that has been superbly preserved. Extremely rare! Realized $23,500.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3513. Lot 30149

描述:: Victoria Pattern Shilling ND (1865), by Weiner & Taylor, ESC-1391 (rare), plain edge, PR65 NGC. Engraved in relatively low relief, the undated patterns of the middle years of Victoria's reign are normally found choice, but this coin is surely an exception even to that norm. Its surfaces are nearly as struck. The frost on the portrait is undisturbed, and the Order of the Garter shield on the reverse is perfectly struck with excellent small detail, as well as being superbly preserved. The wonderful toning is consistently smooth: silky violet gold mixed with deep amber-hued iridescence. Most unusual for a shilling, as this reverse motif is normally reserved for gold sovereigns. A splendid pattern! Realized $8,225.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3515. Lot 30148

描述:: Victoria Proof Shilling 1853, KM734.1, S-3904, ESC-1301 (R2), Young Head, reeded edge, PR65 NGC. An exceptionally fine example that is probably from one of the rare Proof Sets of this year, and is a type that was struck for an unknown reason early in Victoria's long reign. This piece is totally original with bright silver peeking out from among the letters of the obverse legend and attractive toning in various shades of bluish golden gray. The glittering reverse is superb in quality with a silky sheen texture to the fields. Seldom found so choice. Realized $2,820.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3517. Lot 30147

描述:: William IV Proof Halfcrown 1831, S-3834A, KM714.1, PR65 NGC. Incuse "WW" in block form on truncation, plain edge. A rarity in proof state, this is probably from one of the very scarce 1831 Coronation proof sets. However, single pieces were also minted upon application by collectors of the day. This example, with vivid silvery gray and tawny gold toning, is unusually well preserved. A few small imperfections are seen on the raised obverse wire rim. The reverse, showing lovely shades of greenish blue iridescence, appears to be superb, with a perfect wire rim outside of the boldly beaded circle. When seen at all, this proof issue is normally found impaired -- not in the exceptional condition seen here. Realized $5,581.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: George IV gold Proof Half Sovereign 1821, KM681, S-3802, WR-244 (R3), PR65 NGC. Laureate Head, Ornately Garnished Crowned Shield reverse. A beautiful rarity from the seldom seen Coronation proof set, this combination of obverse and reverse was used only during this one year. The surfaces of this specimen sparkle with reflective gold luster, the fields exhibit classic orange-peel texture, and the strike is fully detailed. The golden color is enchanting. Very rare and especially so in this exalted grade. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $11,750.00.
