The Coin

Guineas of George II are rare. It is an extremely challenging series to collect in any grade and a collection of high-grade examples is seldom seen due to the prohibitive nature of the coins’ rarities. Any example of the series in high grade, for example MS61, let alone a rarer year such as 1756, is worthy of note and attention. The coin featured here is not only high grade, but also free of surface issues and any ‘eye-sore’ marks or scratches, rendering this rare example a top-class and hugely attractive guinea of George II.
