Lot 1181
Great Britain. 2 Guineas, 1726. George I. Young laureate Head. S-3627. Fr-326; KM-554. Even before the sale catalogue was completed, we have been asked if this is a re-appearance of the coin sold a year ago, in our Terner One sale. It may be hard to believe, but it is not! Dr Terner possessed two beautiful examples of this short-lived issue. Given the same grade by PCGS, it is not that coin's equal. The other coin was prooflike, with dished surfaces of glassy texture. Nothing else like it has been seen by this cataloguer. Nonetheless, the present coin is also extra-special, Choice Uncirculated with an excellent, sharp strike and wonderful old-gold color. Few exist this nice, so if you desire something special in a large, early 18th-century gold coin, perhaps this coin bears serious consideration. It certainly deserves serious bids. PCGS graded MS-63.
Estimated Value $12,500 - 15,000.
