Great Britain. Shilling, 1817 R/E
. S.3790; ESC-1232A (R3);
KM-666. George III. GEOE: over GEOR: on obverse. A superb
mint state example of this popular error coin, and probably the
nicest specimen on offer in many years. The error (an E
punched over the R in the abbreviated version of the king' s
name) is bold and clear, and the whole coin shimmers with orig-
inal mint luster. Very desirable. Extremely rare.
