George I Crown 1716 AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, KM545.1, S-3639. An unusually fine Crown of George I, a denomination which hardly appears in any condition for this Hanoverian monarch, particularly without the usually pronounced metal "flecking" that commonly plagues the type when found. Despite a light cleaning to the fields and admitted wear, the surfaces have begun to retone to a soft peachy-orange quite nicely, a color preserved especially strongly around the protected regions of the design--close to the legends and rims, and within the plumes and roses. A must for the type collector and crown specialist alike, this piece is among only a handful to survive better than XF.
