James II Crown 1687 MS63+ PCGS, KM463, ESC-743, S-3407. TERTIO edge. Among the finest survivors extant of this popular 17th century crown, showcasing a gray and olive base of tone on both sides, with an array of attractive multicolored iridescence that caresses much of the raised design. Shimmering luster of unexpected quality for a coin of this period further enlivens the surfaces. Closer inspection reveals no grade-limiting marks, although some striking softness on James' hair, a characteristic which is common for the type, is observed. All considered, a coin that is easily worthy of inclusion in a elite set of crowns.
