George I gold 1/2 Guinea 1725 MS65 NGC, Royal mint, KM560, S-3637. 2nd Bust. A coin of mesmerizing beauty, currently tied with only one other specimen in this top certified quality. The eye appeal on this offering is remarkable, with each side benefitting from a fully impressed strike, as well as perfect centering of the devices and soaring rims that create a fantastic bezel around the planchet. Closer inspection reveals intense mint luster that sweeps the peach-dappled fields and near-flawless surfaces that have escaped the pitfalls of handling. About as choice as can be, carefully preserved, and scarce as such.
Estimate: 7000-9000 USD
