William III gold "Fine Work" 5 Guineas 1701 AU58 NGC, KM508, S-3456. Plain scepters. Perhaps the finest portrait in the entire British 5 Guinea series, the celebrated 'Fine Work' portrayal of William by Isaac Newton. This piece has encountered minor handling in line with its grade, but has only lost a tiny fraction of its highpoint detail with bold sharpness still prevalent in the designs. Subdued luster gleams across the planchet, the devices haloed by a deep honey tone; an adjustment mark is noted across the French shield on the reverse, as is a small metal flaw before REX. In all regards a beauty, a coveted type and extremely well preserved.
