Great Britain
Edward III (1327-1377) gold Noble ND (1356-1361) MS64 PCGS, London Mint, Cross 3 mm, Pre-Treaty Period, S-1490, N-1180. It is difficult to imagine a finer representative of this iconic medieval issue; firmly and centrally struck on a round flan of good metal, practically every detail sharpened to its highest degree and illuminated through flowing mint luster. Elements of doubling are noted in the designs, but these are fairly minor and do not disguise the spirit of the devices whatsoever. This piece is the highest graded at PCGS with just one MS65 in NGC's census. Accordingly, for the grade-conscious collector of hammered English gold, you will find few pieces as fine as this superlative near-gem.
