George III gold Guinea 1798 MS62 NGC, KM609, S.3729. The fabulous eye-appeal of this specimen borders on prooflike, being of such an exact strike and quality. There is a notable contrast between the smooth and reflective fields and the more matte portrait of George III, Pingo's masterful engraving highlighted in all its glory by the most exquisite russet patina smothering the entire planchet underpinned by cartwheel luster. Deserving of in-hand appreciation and examination, a tremendous offering for the connoisseur of guineas.
From the Collection of A Scottish Gentleman
