Great Britain: Anne gold 5 Guineas 1711 MS62+ PCGS,...

Description

A Singularly Magnificent 5 Guineas of Queen Anne

Anne gold 5 Guineas 1711 MS62+ PCGS, Post-Union, DECIMO edge, KM535, Fr-317, S-3568. Absolutely stunning! This is the single finest certified 1711 5 Guineas at both NGC and PCGS (albeit from a total certified population of only 6 pieces), and also the only example at either service certified in Mint State. The warm goldenrod tone emphasizes the glossy fields and the sharply-detailed devices. Minor flan defects, primarily annealing flaws (as made), may be found on both sides of the coin, although none are egregious. The most noteworthy surface mark is a small dig in the left obverse field. Aside from those slight issues, the quality of strike and preservation of surfaces is unparalleled in any 5 Guineas of this date that we have offered. The quality of this example in hand speaks for itself and will, in this cataloger's opinion, reveal our estimate to be conservative.
