British Coins, George III, sovereign, 1817, laur. head r., rev. St. George and the dragon (S.3785), certified and graded by NGC as Mint State 62+ Prooflike, numerous abrasions but the mirrored texture of the surfaces and the crisp detail of the strike call special attention to this unusual sovereign, suggesting it may have been struck for evaluation, perhaps as a Specimen, as nearly all George III sovereigns made for commerce display satiny lustre and lack the sharpness of detail seen here on St George, his steed, and the Order of the Garter which forms the reverse border
