Description

George II gold Half Guinea 1731, S3681A, Young Laureate Head, AU58 NGC, actually a fabulous coin with no apparent wear, fully struck and glittering with semi-prooflike or "hard" luster, the surfaces all but flawless, great rims and edge, only the stray tin fleck, and the dies almost perfectly centered. This lovely coin is actually sharper than the coin (same date) used to illustrate the type in the Spink reference, the 2010 SCBC book. Rare so fine. A coin of this caliber shows up only once every few years.
From the Highlands Park Collection of British Coins.

Metal: Gold
Diameter: 21.00mm
