George II gold 2 Guineas 1740/39 MS62 PCGS, KM578, S-3668. An exquisite Mint State golden offering, the overdate clear but not listed on the holder. More often than not the shallow engraving of this type results in its receiving AU grades at best, whilst this piece exhibits simply immaculate striking detail; rich aurous color gracing the planchet, silky luster serving to illuminate the sharp devices and crisp contours of George's portrait. Bearing extremely few marks to the lightly die-polished fields and no highpoint wear, this superlative specimen seems worthy of an even higher MS grade.
