Two Guineas 1735 S.3667A sharp and prooflike and graded AU58+ by NGC and certainly not over graded by them, a rare date in this George IIYoung Head series and seldom offered in this high grade or in fact in any grade
Five Guineas 1753 George II VICESIMO SEXTO S3666 choice sharp and brilliant and graded MS62+ by NGC extremely rare in this high grade, there are no examples shown on the NGC census above MS62 extremely desirable thus
Guinea 1777 S.3728 EF and lustrous in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 65, the joint finest known of 10 examples thus far recorded by the LCGS Population Report, George III Guineas in EF grades now highly sought after
Guinea 1737 S.3674 the S of GEORGIVS possibly struck over an 8? and the G of GRATIA possibly struck over an O, are both closed.

Five Guineas 1701 Fine Work DECIMO TERTIO choice mint state with proof like fields, Ex Roderick Richardson and with his price ticket £75,000 "Choice Mint State" graded and encapsulated by CGS as 80 (UNC) so offered here having three companies (LCA, CGS and Richardson) concur on a mint state grade. In the 10 years since CGS has been grading coins only two other pre 1750 gold coins have an 80 grade those being a Half Guinea of 1725 and a Guinea of 1713, As for current market indicators Five Guineas in EF of George II can be seen on display at UK coin shows around the £45,000 marker and it was reported to us by the seller and an independent source corroborated that a Charles II 5 Guineas in NGC 61 sold at the March MSCF show for £78,000, the read across table compiled empirically by CGS collectors suggest that USA slabbed coins in MS61 average CGS 65 grade. Regardless of the technically grade and price this is a spectacular coin surely never to be matched for eye appeal and beauty.
