George II gold 5 Guineas 1741/38 UNC Details (Reverse Graffiti) NGC, KM571.1, Fr-332, S-3663A, Schneider-563. Unquestionably uncirculated and evidently struck from recently polished dies, this immense gold specimen lends the immediate appearance of a pleasing choice example, bearing full frosty luster, an exquisite level of detail, and only scattered marks over the surfaces. Close inspection of the reverse reveals four shallow and crudely engraved characters in the field above the crown, though they do little to diminish the overall eye appeal. While unlisted upon the slab, this is an example of the 1741/38 overdate variety.
