Lot 1210
Great Britain. Rose Guinea, 1785. George III, 4th Laureate Head. S-3728; Fr-355; KM-604. The portraiture of this style, the 4th Head, takes on the more rounded qualities seen in later issues, those made during the Napoleonic era. The king's neck ends in a gentle sloping curve, with a long lock of hair dropping beneath it. Classic engraving typical of the end of the century. And, this is a beautiful example. Very Choice Uncirculated with splendid yellow rose-gold and light mauve-red toning, and well struck. Quite rare so nice; in fact one of the finest of this style encountered. PCGS graded MS-64.
Estimated Value $1,750 - 2,250.
