George I gold "Prince Elector" Guinea 1714 AU55 NGC, KM538, S-3628. The very first year of issue for George I's coinage (a rare occurrence wherein 1714 Guineas were produced bearing the portraits of Queen Anne and George I), and a one-year type for this exquisite portrait of the Hanoverian King. A superb representative, lightly circulated commensurate with the certification, but well-struck for this deeply engraved type with the little wear present shallow and even. A great deal of original yellow-white luster remains, whilst the obverse shows a deep and attractive red-orange patina to the fields framing George's bold depiction. Altogether, a wonderful example of this popular Guinea and sure to garner particular bidder attention. A comparative AU55 example of this same type sold in our April 2017 Chicago auction, realizing $9,987.50.
