Lot 2252
Great Britain. 5 Guineas, 1729. S.3663; Fr-332. George II, 1727-1760. Young laureate head of King facing left. Reverse: Crowned shield of arms. Edge year TERTIO in raised letters on edge. Crisply struck and prooflike with a light orange perimeter tone. This is a slightly scarcer date, but excessively rare in this high grade. Remarkably free of any surface marks or striations associated with large gold coins of this period. Truly an extra special specimen and a handsome companion to the 1748 5 Guineas offered here. This coin has a catalogue price of 10,500 British Pounds in EF condition (over $18,000), but it remains unpriced in higher grade. PCGS graded MS-62.
Estimated Value $17,500 - 20,000.
