William III gold 1/2 Guinea 1698 MS64 NGC, KM487.3, S-3468. An incredibly rare coin in Mint State, let alone near-gem. The surfaces of both sides are doused in a light, orange-red tone--their texture misty and ethereal--while the presence of reverse adjustment marks are extremely minor and unobtrusive. A type that is simply never seen in this grade, and an offering that remains unchallenged in this top level of certification in the database of both NGC and PCGS.
