William III gold "Fine Work" 5 Guineas 1701 AU55 NGC, Royal mint, KM508, S-3456. An ever-popular one-year type, the demand for these issues has only increased in recent years. As one example, we sold an NGC MS64 in January, 2014 for $76,375. We resold that same coin in August, 2017 for an incredible (and world record) $188,000. This jump in price and popularity applies not just to top-end examples, however. As another example, in January, 2014, we sold an NGC AU55 for $17,625. Then, in January 2016, we sold a PCGS AU55 for $32,900. Even with its technical merits, this particular coin possesses fantastic eye appeal, with lovely old collection toning, and red highlights of the devices throughout. Overall an exemplary specimen of this attractive type.
