Lot 3191
Great Britain. Crown, 1695. S.3470; ESC-86; Dav-3781. William III, 1694-1702. First bust. Edge: SEPTIMO. First year of issue for this king. A delightful specimen! Medium golden gray toning, but bright, evenly distributed on both sides, providing premium eye-appeal. Well struck, the king's hair well defined and the reverse shield exceptionally sharp in all details. Nice high rims and wide denticles. Evidence of die-rust in the fields, and a touch of black alloying flecks in the metal. One of the most pleasing to be found! Very rare in this exalted grade. NGC graded MS-63.
Estimated Value $2,250 - 2,500.
