Edward III (1327-1377) gold Noble ND (1346-1351) MS62 PCGS, London mint, Cross pattée mm, Pre-Treaty period, S-1481, N-1110, Schneider-Unl. 7.73gm. One of the first Noble types to be struck after the Florin coinage of 1344 - extremely rare in any condition, let alone Mint State. Only a handful of third period Nobles have sold in recent years, and of these few the present offering would appear to be among the finest, substantiated by its being the sole piece certified by either NGC or PCGS. Crisply struck, the obverse slightly doubled, the reverse absolutely pristine and with an intriguing feature: diagonal wire-thin lines running through the devices, presumably some form of die-sinker's guide yet an element the cataloguer has never before seen. Dimly lustrous and clearly scarcely handled, perhaps the only chance collectors will have to obtain a specimen of this rare issue in such exalted grade.
