GREAT BRITAIN. 5 Guinea, 1741/38 Year DECIMO QVARTO. London Mint. George II. PCGS AU-50.
S-3663A; Fr-332; KM-571.1. One of the most popular emissions of the British Milled series, this generously sized and tremendously impressive 5 Guineas offers a charming example of this tough type. Modestly and evenly circulated, with soft wear on the portraiture and arms of the United Kingdom, and some bright orange toning. Somewhat roughly marked on the surfaces, and scratched in left field next to the bust, this piece has seen some time in commerce. Though not mentioned by PCGS, this example does display clear evidence of an overdate, particularly underneath the "4". Nevertheless, this example provides the chance at a straight graded 5 Guineas of George II, a RARE happening. To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click here.
