Pricing & History
Great Britain. Guinea, 1728. George II, First young laureate Head, second style with slightly smaller lettering in the legends. S-3671. Fr-339. As the owner of the Cheshire Collection points out, the Terner Collection did not possess this date. It is indeed deceptively rare, and almost impossible to own in the stunning grade of the coin offered here. The 1974 Douglas-Morris sale had one (lot 44) called Extremely Fine and `very rare.` The cataloguer never saw that coin. It appears very sharp in the B&W pictures. It sold for 2,800 Pounds ($6,500) back in 1974. The Terner Collection did include a 1727 of this exact style (T1, lot 167), which was graded MS64 by PCGS and sold for $18,400 or nearly double our estimate. It is probably not an exaggeration to suggest that this coin is the finest known of its date. It`s a coin of excellent eye-appeal and choice in quality. NGC graded MS-62.
