3531. Lot 30140

描述:: George III silver restrike Pattern Halfpenny 1790,? Peck-1179 (R65) var. (struck in silver), PR65 NGC. Restrike by Taylor. A splendid piece, shimmering with luster and blessed with gorgeous toning in many shades of silvery golden blue iridescence. The king's portrait as well as regal Britannia are fully detailed. A finely ruled edge is used on the obverse to finish off the broad rim. An intricate, engrailed tooth-and-bead design is used on the reverse to delineate the rim. Surfaces are nothing less than superb. Some fine raised dots appear on both sides, indicative of Taylor's use of aged dies to make this piece. As well, a V-shaped raised flaw shows on the broad rim at about 5:00 beneath the portrait.?Extremely rare;?listed in silver only as the date 1791 (Peck-1180), but here we see the same piece dated the year before, 1790. Realized $5,287.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3533. Lot 30139

描述:: George II gold 2 Guineas 1738, S-3667B, Young Laureate Head, AU55 NGC. While there is light wear, this coin possesses considerable luster, a sharp portrait, and lovely yellow gold color. A tiny flan crack on the obverse from the rim inward at about 8:00, and also visible at about 10:00 on the reverse, is the only real defect. An excellent old-time example of this large gold coin, which, at the time of its issue, was a small fortune in value. Realized $3,290.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3535. Lot 30138

描述:: George II Crown 1746-LIMA, S-3689, Old Laureate Bust, AU58 NGC. A completely original example of this classic issue, with little, if any, discernible wear. This coin has a wonderfully even and sharp strike, perfect texture to the silver alloy for the period, and pleasing, smooth, silvery gray toning with golden green iridescent hues. Struck on a broad flan and showing full denticles around the rim of the reverse. J.S. Tanner's regal lion face on the king's shoulder is to be seen only on coins of this era. What a beauty! A treasure, in two senses of the word: its silver came from a captured Spanish ship's treasure, and the coin itself is an especially fine survivor. The famous hallmark under the king's portrait was placed there by the Royal Mint in order to mock the Spanish king, whose treasure (mainly silver specie) was captured at sea off the Philippines by Admiral of the Fleet George Anson on June 20, 1743. Taking a full year with his crew to steer his own ship and the captured ship back to England, Anson finally landed in the summer of 1744. His entourage accompanying the treasure-filled wagons was cheered all the way from the southern naval port to London. The hallmark denoting the origin of the silver (from mines at Lima, Peru) was used only on silver (and some gold) captured from the Spanish, one of England's oldest enemies. The coins were widely used and in the main disappeared from commerce after the New Coinage of 1816 was introduced. Relatively few have survived of the original five hundred thousand pounds' Sterling worth struck, and a crown of this quality, with its original surfaces, captures the sense of the 1740s as well as any coin possibly can. Realized $8,225.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3537. Lot 30137

描述:: Anne gold 2 Guineas 1711, S-3569, Post-Union shield reverse, XF45 NGC. A very scarce denomination from this reign, as only one style was coined during the period 1709-1714, with this example being from the second year of issue. Even wear is seen on each side. This coin is nicely balanced in detail, with an especially appealing royal shield. Old-time gold patina graces the surfaces. As a rule, the "double guinea" is rarer than the guinea coin but is not nearly as popular. Realized $4,846.88. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3539. Lot 30136

描述:: Anne Halfcrown 1708, S-3604, ESC-576, Septimo edge, MS64 NGC. This is a certain centerpiece for any collection it enters. Carefully preserved surfaces with extremely limited evidence of contact, showcase an intricate strike. Most special, however, is the eye-appeal, as the obverse and reverse surfaces have toned in an exceptionally desirable manner. Both sides are highlighted at the peripheries by red, yellow and orange patina, while the centers are bathed in luxurious blue and green shades. This pattern is most pronounced on the reverse and is truly a joy to behold, as the tone adds a special gleam to the luster. The single finest example that NGC has graded to date and an absolute jewel for the British specialist. Realized $5,581.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
