George I gold "Elephant & Castle" Guinea 1726 MS62 NGC, KM559.2 (Rare), S-3634, Schneider-550, Farey-0705 (ER). Fifth laureate head, elephant and castle below bust. A rare type that only seems to have appeared on the marketplace a handful of times in the last two decades, the George I 1726 "Elephant & Castle" Guinea remains an elusive issue available to only the smallest minority of collectors. This exceptional piece brings the desirability of its type to an even greater level, representing not only the finest representative of its issue at NGC and PCGS combined, but also a coin that offers tremendous eye appeal in its own right. Fluid golden luster glides effortlessly across the fields upon rotation, highlighting sharply crafted devices. Marks or scratches are completely absent, and only the finest hairline wisps, visible at a slant, hold this piece back from finer certification. A pervasive orange-gold tone graces the surfaces, furthering elevating the visual appeal to a level that is bound to draw fervent bidder interest from those collectors who recognize the combined absolute and conditional rarity of this challenging single-year issue.
