In 2014 the Standard Catalogue valued this coin in EF at £12,500, so has doubled it's catalogue value in just five years. We note that we have only offered two previous examples since 2003, and in the same period we have offered sixteen 1701 Fine Work Five Guineas, thus indicating this to be by far the scarcer coin, a rare opportunity to obtain a high grade rarity such as this More coins like this	£6,500

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.
