George III Crown 1820 MS66 NGC, KM675, S-3787. LX Edge. The final year of the type, tied for highest grade across certification companies, and eclipsed by none. Pistrucci's motifs could not hope to be executed with more precision, ever hair on George III's head fully discernable. Nature matches this expertise with its own chromatic display; a mottled lavender patina joins a lengthy rainbow crescent on the obverse, while champagne shimmer tickles the upper expanses of the reverse, welcoming a deep sapphire tone that wraps around the anguishing dragon. A semi-Prooflike flash pushes this piece's appeal over the edge, waiting patiently for its next sophisticated cabinet.
Ex. Hesselgesser Collection (Goldberg Auction 42, September 2007, Lot 438)
