Watch List notes:

George II Halfcrown 1746-LIMA, S-3695A, Old Bust, AU58 NGC, bold strike with great details, lustrous and having pleasing surfaces as well as light silvery toning with delicate golden iridescence, a choice coin for the grade. A most affordable and nice example of the coinage struck from Peruvian silver captured off the Philippines by the British admiral Anson, and hallmarked to consecrate the event. For bidders who might be wondering why we have such a good run of choice early halfcrowns, they are from the collection of a gentleman who obviously had a good eye for quality and looked hard for coins of sharp detail. Today's bidders do not have to work nearly so hard as he must have, and can acquire tough-to-find coins simply by bidding on the internet. This is a serious collection, and bidders would be wise to take advantage of the many opportunities here to acquire exceptionally fine pieces.
