William III gold "Fine Work" 5 Guineas 1701 MS61+ NGC, KM508, Fr-310, S-3456, Schneider-481. Plain scepters variety. DECIMO TERTIO edge. An exceedingly sharp example of this attractively styled 5 Guineas, featuring "fine work" engraving that is readily observed throughout the King's coiffed portrait, as well as on the reverse designs. Upon examination, the viewer's eyes are met with detail that rises in balanced uniformity to near-medallic proportions, these bathed in a fetching golden brilliance that careens across the surfaces under even subtle rotation. Pleasingly devoid of any noticeable marks in the major focal areas, and with a general appeal that is strong for the grade, established nearly entirely by gentle handling friction. This highly presentable 5 Guineas should be seen as a strong candidate for even the more conditionally sensitive collector.
