George II gold 1/2 Guinea 1739 UNC Detail (Repaired) PCGS, KM565.1, S-3681A. An exceptional jewel of a coin, almost never seen with such eye appeal nor technical quality. Likely the best portrait of George II in gold that the cataloger has seen, his hair fully struck up to every last minor detail; the reverse is perhaps even more bold, strong die polish lines in the field, obverse and reverse both with copious luster. The 'repaired' designation refers to a scratch running across the field just below George's chin which has been smoothed over in antiquity; however, this does not significantly affect this piece's dazzling appearance.
