George I "South Sea Company" Crown 1723-SSC AU50 NGC, KM545.2, S-3640, ESC-1545. DECIMO edge. Made from silver provided by the South Sea Company, one sees Shillings and Sixpences bearing this distinctive SSC hallmark quite regularly, but far fewer Crowns. This particular example has encountered minor circulation in line with its grade but appears otherwise conservatively certified, the wear present limited solely to the highest points of George's portrait, the strike central and solid. The planchet shows a good deal of original silvery luster blended with a matured light gold toning, adding a pleasantly subdued eye appeal to this large and popular silver piece. Overall, a premium coin for the grade and an excellent representative of the type. From the Lake County Collection
