Lot 249
Great Britain. 1/3 Guinea, 1813. George III, 2nd Head with short hair (the style used on the Military guinea). Reeded edge. Engraved by Lewis Pingo after Marchant's model. WR-140. R6: just 3-5 specimens known. S-3740 for type, 1813 being the second rarest and final year of issue; thus this is obviously a Proof of Record, made to mark the end of this denomination. This is a splendid cameo specimen, with glittering mirrors and wonderful, original gold color. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 7,000.
Its provenance is impeccable: ex Virgil Brand, and most recently ex Norweb (11-86, lot 1032). The distinctive Norweb envelope accompanies this lot.
