Lot 1950
Great Britain. Sixpence, 1758. George II, Old laureate Head. S-3711; KM-582.2. Hoard date, as the last sixpence struck for many years, but you never see any examples that look like this coin! Most known pieces are lackluster, have small impurities on their surfaces, and are not especially well struck. Here is a marvelous exception, possibly the finest known. Superb Gem Uncirculated, bright silvery luster, hints of gold iridescent toning, the strike very bold. Particularly "hard" luster, indicating an early strike from the dies. PCGS graded MS-66.
Estimated Value $750 - 900.
