Anne 1/2 "VIGO" Crown 1703 MS62 NGC, Royal mint, KM518.1, S-3580, ESC-569. Struck from silver seized from the Spanish at Vigo Bay. A superb piece, with lovely light blue toning. Hardly ever encountered in such a superb state of preservation, the last time that a Mint State graded example came up for auction was in our September, 2014 sale, where another NGC MS62 hammered for $4,000, which also happens to be the world record for this type. We feel that in the interim, the market for high-grade British coins has remained constant, if not increase, and so this piece may very well surpass that mark.
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
