William III Crown 1696 MS62 NGC, KM494.1, S-3472. Type C/1, 1st harp, 3rd bust. OCTAVO edge. The first Crown of the Great Recoinage, the type's heavy circulation often excluding them from higher grades. Certainly Mint State, the surfaces of this offering exhibit considerable die rust giving an interesting matte texture in areas, the planchet primarily a smoky gray with residual luster and bursts of pink-gold tone.
