George II gold 5 Guineas 1753 AU55 PCGS, KM586.2, S-3666, Schneider-566. Bold and beautiful - these are perhaps the first words that come to mind upon inspecting the surfaces of this impressively-sized George II 5 Guineas. Despite circulation, the surfaces emit a lustrous and almost flashy finish, an attractive mint brilliance enveloping the struck features, which remain sharp and well-defined at every possible point of inspection. This applies even to the peripheral legends, a sometimes weaker feature of coins of the era that here stand in the boldest relief, providing a fitting and attractive frame for the central devices. Truly engaging, this coin is easily one that can easily be appreciated by its future owner for many years to come.
