George III gold Third Guinea 1809, KM650, S-3740, MS63 NGC. A delightful yellow-gold representative of this scarce, often mishandled type with semi-reflective luster in the the fields and especially clean surfaces that appear free of any post-strike abrasions. A small planchet flaw (as made) near George's nose very likely prevented an even finer grade. Even so, tied for the finest graded by NGC and deserving of placement in an elite set. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $160 in VF, $350 in EF, $550 in UNC.
