Lot 1188
Great Britain. Guinea, 1749. George II, Old Head. S-3680. Fr-344; KM-588. We did not place this very rare date in Dr Terner's first sale, but to those who looked at the sale lot by lot it must have been obvious that we sought and nearly obtained all dates of issue. Those which came to us last, we figured were unusually rare, and they included this 1749. It is a beautiful coin! In our mind, before we encountered number grading, we always thought of it as Choice Uncirculated. The luster is strong, the color beautiful, the strike exceptional, as is the planchet or flan. Somewhat prooflike, which also indicates a top-grade coin. PCGS graded MS-62.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500.
