George III Proof Shilling 1787 PR65 PCGS, KM607.1, S-3746, ESC-1226. By L. Pingo. A gorgeous Proof of Record, a true gem with magnificent eye appeal. None of the 1787 Shilling-and-Sixpence issue was distributed to the general public, intended to be simply issued to the Bank's customers around Christmastime; accordingly they are all a 'pattern' coinage, of sorts. As a result the coin offered here is essentially a Proof of a pattern. Perfectly round with lovely cabinet toning, hazy steel-blue centers giving way to rings of deep burnished red and gold, every detail fully defined and pristine. Looking at it in hand, there are few if any points which could be improved upon - an absolute numismatic prize thus, worthy of particular collector attention.
