George II gold 5 Guineas 1748 MS62 PCGS, KM586.2, S-3666. A firmly Mint State piece, conditionally rare thus; seldom if ever do these large gold types enter this elusive state of preservation. This 5 Guineas exhibits bagmarks to the obverse diagnostic of contact with other coins, the reverse comparatively unmarred; aglow with copious mint luster, adding depth to the lemon-gold surfaces. The strike was clearly definitive and has rendered George's (somewhat shallowly engraved) portrait to an impressively sharp degree. Arguably the most popular British denomination and very unusual this finely certified.
