British Outpost - George III Tackoe 1796 MS62 NGC, Soho mint, KMTn1a. The smallest denomination of this sought-after design, and very rare fully detailed, with the present piece showcasing brilliance throughout and no individually noteworthy marks. While not produced in the same presentation-quality as the copper issues, possibly struck as a proof, with surfaces that are nearly fully reflective, and dramatically different than the other graded MS62 of the issue (both tied for finest certified at NGC) that we offered in October 2014. Priced in the Standard Catalog of World Coins at $1,300 in UNC, and given the premium eye-appeal of the present piece, we suspect it's worthy of a premium to that.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
