This specimen was lot 34758 in Heritage sale 3094 (Chicago, August 2021), where it sold for $4,560. The catalog description[1] noted, "Great Britain: Anne Crown 1705 AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, QVINTO edge, plumes in angles. A very scarce type, and one which we have not seen for over a decade. Despite a past cleaning, eye appeal remains strong, a balanced steel patina gracing the surfaces and carrying striking undertones of blue iridescence over features that remain crisp and sharply contoured. A coin that should see strong interest from advanced British crown collectors." The famous crown of queen Anne was the VIGO issue, made from from silver seized from Spanish ships in Vigo Bay during the War of the Spanish Succession. Other crowns were minted 1705-08 and 1713; all are scarce to rare. This type, with plumes in the angles of the reverse, was struck 1705 only.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
