Anne gold 1/2 Guinea 1713/1 MS64 NGC, KM527, S-3575. A truly spectacular coin, the highest graded 1713 Half Guinea by either NGC or PCGS and yet still seemingly conservatively graded. Somehow, immediately after striking, this piece was either lost or put aside and as such bears no evidence of circulation nor improper handling whatsoever; its production quality is such that it seems likely it was struck with special care and retained by a Mint employee. In any case, its visual appeal is extraordinary. Whereas Anne's coins so often appear soft to the high points either from wear or sloppy production, this piece exhibits razor-sharp detail and abundant prooflike luster; its overdate is clear but not listed on the holder. A piece which needs to be seen to be believed, the pinnacle of quality for Anne's coinage.
