Charles II gold Guinea 1666, S-3342, 3rd Bust, VF30 NGC, some ancient marks including a light scuff in the field in front of the king's mouth, lower portion of central reverse shield struck through grease and lacking some detail, but generally this is a choice and pleasing coin for the grade, with clear images and well-defined rims. Struck in the historic year of the Great Fire of London, which scholars in the literary field generally believe to be why no manuscripts of Shakespeare's plays have ever been found; they burned in the fire. No doubt, any number of coins perished as well.From The Marston Collection of British Coins.

Estimate: 3250.00-4000.00 USD
