Lot 118
Great Britain. Guinea, 1665. Charles II, 3rd laureate Bust. S-3342; Fr-287; KM-424.1. This wonderful and very special coin should be listed in the Wilson & Rasmussen Proofs book, for it is clearly out of the ordinary. We believe it is a Specimen strike, but unrecorded. Not only is this a very rare date, virtually unavailable even in nice EF, but it's also one of the finest known Charles II guineas of any style. Extremely rare, prooflike and of remarkable quality! Privately purchased in 1989 from Spink for a multiple of catalogue value. PCGS graded Specimen 63.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 15,000.
