Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Victoria "Godless" Florin 1849, KM745, S-3890, "Godless" type - Without "W.W.", MS64 NGC. The far scarcer of two major varieties for the year and quite rare overall, the present example shows only faint evidence of the William Wyon initials that were removed from the die just to the right of Victoria's bust instead of clear initials. Overlying tone that mutes the luster limits the grade. A coin that is sure to receive significant attention from the specialist. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $75 in VF, $250 in EF, $475 in UNC.
Estimate: 500-700 USD
