Lot 1164
Great Britain. Half Guinea, 1689. William & Mary. 1st conjoined Busts. S-3429; Fr-306; KM-473. Only year struck showing the 1st Busts. Back in 1994, Dr Terner was offered two outstanding examples of this style, and he purchased both. None finer has appeared since then. Both are similar in grade, but this specimen leaps out at the eye as few coins do. Its esthetic appeal is superb, its fields are somewhat prooflike, the portraits and shield are crisp in all details, and the coin exhibits gleaming luster. It is not unfair to call it a "gem," for it is absolutely the finest William & Mary half guinea this catalogue has ever seen. PCGS graded MS-62.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,500.
