Brunswick-Luneburg-Calenberg-Hannover. George I Taler 1721-C MS63 NGC, KM134, Dav-2077. A coin with exceptional multifaceted appeal, struck in the name of George I of England and thus of high significance to British collectors, with the characteristic cross of shields and garter star comprising the reverse centers. As a type, also featuring the broadly appealing Wildman motif on the obverse, with crisp detail and luxurious deep tone over both sides. Not surprisingly, the single finest example graded by NGC for the date and unsurpassed in quality for the type; bound for a elite crown set, and when compared to its British counterparts in this same grade, downright undervalued as an issue. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $205 in VF, $375 in EF, $825 in UNC.
Estimate: 1800-2200 USD
