Lot 1168
Great Britain. Guinea, 1698. William III, 2nd laureate Bust. S-3460; Fr-313; KM-498.1. This style of portrait guinea is not quite as rare as the 1695, but still catalogues for 3,000 Pounds (about $5,400 in EF in Spink). Approximately the same quality as Dr Terner's other 1698, which sold a year ago for $5,750. Superb AU, wonderful old-gold color, including some red-gold toning, and exceptionally fine eye-appeal! One small tin streak on reverse, one of the "hallmarks" of the coinage of this time in history, caused by a bit of tin in the alloy. PCGS graded AU-58.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,750.
