Great Britain
Anne Crown 1707-E AU55 PCGS, Edinburgh mint, KM526.1, S-3600, ESC-103. Struck in Edinburgh shortly after unification with Scotland. A true outlier for the type, the strike so definitive as to almost entirely eradicate the adjustment marks common for this series and to give exquisite detail to Anne's portrait. In-hand inspection is truly necessary to fully appreciate the intricacy of engraving in her hair, so often found flat and weakly struck and yet here represented almost perfectly. The obverse has developed a lovely peach-and-gray tone which gives way to cobalt on the gleaming surfaces of the devices, whilst the reverse is a pale gold gradually darkening in the peripheries. Perhaps the finest of the type this cataloger has seen, and sure to grace an immense collection of British Crowns.
