George I gold 5 Guineas 1726 XF45 NGC, KM547, S-3626. Bathed in warm orange-gold color with vivid magenta and purple toning highlights settled around the devices on both the obverse and reverse. A most-impressive example of this better type, that despite showing evidence of past circulation and handling, does so in an distinguished manner, with no single mark that deters the eye's attention, an admirable strike that leaves no adjustment marks, and evenly placed wear on the highpoints. A dream coin for many, we can only imagine that the present piece's cumulative eye-appeal will convince a dreamer to take the next step and turn their dream into a reality. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $6000 in VF, $18500 in EF. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $6000 in VF, $18500 in EF.
Estimate: 20000-25000 USD
