Great Britain
George II Proof Crown 1746 PR64 PCGS, KM585.2, S-3690. A fantastic offering, almost worthy of a gem level grade; its surfaces are essentially free from any marks whatsoever with only the lightest hairlines visible under a loupe. Inspection reveals minor friction to George's portrait, a factor which is extremely easy to miss, and in all other respects it appears flawless. Sharp, bold striking detail exhibiting no wear nor handling, the planchet toned to a smoky gray iridescence with residual luster glinting at the peripheries. Supposedly one of just 100 produced as part of the Mint's first Proof set, and clearly loving handled since its production.
