Lot: 1090

George II (1727-60), Shilling, 1750, 5 over 4, wide 0, old laureate, draped and cuirassed bust left, rev. four crowned shields cruciform, seven strings to harp, milled edge, 5.96g, 6h (Bull 1732; ESC 1211; S.3704), an attractive very fine, with lustre, the overdate very clear

On this third example with wide 0 the date is very clear and while the 4 under the 5 can be seen, there is no sign of anything under the 0. Perhaps this would support the observation in ESC that the wide 0 is 'always (?) with 5 over 4'.
