1708 GREAT BRITAIN SHILLING — ESC-1147 — NGC MS 63

1708 GREAT BRITAIN SHILLING — ESC-1147 — NGC MS 63 A bright and sharply struck 1708 Great Britain Shilling, cataloged as ESC-1147 and certified NGC MS 63, placing it among the finer surviving examples of Queen Anne’s milled silver coinage. This piece shows crisp, frosty detail throughout Anne’s portrait, with fully defined hair, drapery, and a clean, well-centered strike. The reverse shield is exceptionally sharp for the issue, with the quarterings, crown, and surrounding legends rendered with near-prooflike clarity. Surfaces exhibit attractive mint luster and minimal contact marks, consistent with a strong Choice Mint State designation. Eye appeal is excellent, with the coin presenting a fresh, original look seldom encountered on early 18th-century silver. A premium MS-level example of the 1708 Shilling, ideal for collectors seeking high-grade Queen Anne material or a standout type coin from the early unified British series. World gold of this caliber always draws aggressive bidding—expect strong competition. Cert No. 3356771-006
