Lot 1224
Great Britain. Guinea, 1798. George III, 5th Head. S-3729; Fr-356; KM-609. Spade-shaped shield. This is the most often seen date of this series, yet it is seldom found in strictly Uncirculated condition. Exceptionally fine. Purchased in 1983. Dr Terner thought this date as well as this type was a super-value, being difficult to locate (although called the common date in this series) in any grade better than EF. He kept each piece as he found one better, owing three nice ones in all. The cataloguer has seen several others called "MS63" by another grading service which could not touch this coin in its visual appeal nor its technical quality. PCGS graded MS-62.
Estimated Value $750 - 1,000.
