George I gold Guinea 1726 MS62 NGC, KM559.2, S-3633. Fifth laureate head. An exceptional coin, boasting near-full luster even after 292 years! Gorgeous satiny surfaces atop a lemon-gold planchet, the crisp strike lending impressive sharpness to George's bust and the reverse cruciform shields. A die break is noted within the fourth scepter on the reverse, but does nothing to detract from the eye-appeal of this Guinea. A very difficult type to obtain in Mint State, and one that commands particular bidder attention when it appears as such; an example graded one point higher, MS63, sold at our auction 3037 in January 2015, realizing $18,800.
