- Sublime "Fine Work" 5 Guineas of William III
GREAT BRITAIN. 5 Guineas, 1701 Year DECIMO TERTIO. London Mint. William III. PCGS MS-61 Gold Shield.
S-3456; Fr-310; KM-508. Plain Scepters variety. An absolutely remarkable "Fine Work" issue of William III as sole monarch, beautifully produced with all but the most minute of details realized in the exacting strike. The surfaces are wholesome overall, with much remaining luster accentuating the honeyed-antique tone present throughout. Faint ghosts of what appear to be minor adjustments, as made, are noted across William's cheek but detract little from the originality of the piece and its exceptional level of preservation. Sir Isaac Newton's time as mintmaster in this period exhibits superb work, rarely seen before, as this offering presents an uncommon opportunity for the advanced collector of the British gold series.
Estimate: $45,000 - $55,000.
