Lot 214
Great Britain. Pattern 1/3 Guinea in Gold, 1776. By Richard Yeo. George III laureate bust, facing right. Crowned lion on reverse standing on a larger crown. Plain edge. WR-137. R3: Extremely Rare. Despite some tiny contact marks, this is an unusually nice example of this classic little gold pattern, struck the same year as America's independence was declared. Unlike most known pieces, it has no flan flaws, the planchet itself is even and full, the strike is greatly detailed, and there remains a brilliant reflectivity to the surfaces. PCGS graded Proof 63 Cameo.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
