S3393, P-. General wear to the high points with even chocolate toning and quite attractive. Incorrectly slabbed ANACS EF40 as a straight 1673. Can be removed from the slab if required, but not replaced

S3449, P-. The edge reading of NVMMORVM[ }+FAMVLVS.1691++ not recorded by Peck and presumably rarer than usual for what is a scarce issue. Strictly only fair, but stable and the edge clear. Ex Dr B Nicholson collection lot 038 sold by Colin Cooke in 2004. Weight 10.86g. (1467)

S3554, P641. Light wear with an excellent portrait.

S3555, P675. Date in legend and no stop after date. General wear with some pitting and a green patina, but stable. Rare.

S3556, P699. Reads GVLIELMS. Worn with the reverse better and comparable to the Baldwin piece recently sold. Ex W J Noble, Glendining 28/11/1973 lot 49 (part). Very rare.

S3556, P703. Unbarred A's on the reverse. Worn.

S3556, P-. GV/B in GVLIELMVS. The die sinker presumably started the rev. legend on the obverse before correcting the error. This is one of only 3 examples I have seen, all from the same die. Very rare.

S3659, P774. Dump issue. Even wear to both sides from circulation, the obverse E's and rev. R are blundered but don't appear to be over anything. Weight 9.48g.

S3660, P803. Decent detail, but a bit porous and a clipped flan. (1465)

Copper Proof, P832. Toned with blue, green and violet iridescence on the rev. There is a small spot in front of the bust. Currently slabbed PCGS PR64BN and can be removed if required but not put back in.

S3717, P-. V/S in GEORGIVS. Modest wear to the high points with some evidence of die blockage, particularly to Britannia's head. Evenly toned and rare. I have only noted 7 examples to date in all grades despite the trace of the S at the base of the V remaining even in low grade. Ex Dr J Mangahas, Spink 75, lot 424, 29/3/1990 and Dr B Nicholson, collection sold by Colin Cooke March 2004 lot 249.

S3717, P-. No apparent stops to either side. Slightly claggy.

S3774, P896. Toned with only a trace of wear to the high points. Flaw by the eye and weakness through the laurel leaves, both not fully struck. Pleasing even so. The second 7 appears to be over an underlying 7 or 1.

S3774, P907. Some lustre to both sides, more to the reverse which is quite iridescent. Slight wear to Britannia's left breast only. Slabbed PCGS MS64 RB.

S3778, P1251. Plain hull. No trace of any gunports. Toned.

P1379. Bronzed restrike proof by Taylor. A mistrike, as the collar has obviously opened during the strike (leaving parallel lines on the edge) and the flan rotated to give a double strike clearly seen in the reverse legend, the two exergue lines and Britannia detail. Otherwise FDC. (1468)
