George II gold Guinea 1739 MS64 PCGS, KM577.1, S-3676, Farey-840. A genuine show-stopper of a Guinea in all respects, coupling a glassy obverse and satin reverse with a precise strike from heavily polished dies. This offering is the finer of the two Terner specimens of this type--the other, an MS63, was also part of the Millennia Collection. Additionally, this specimen is currently the single-highest graded between both NGC and PCGS. The first example of the date we have offered in over six years, and one that is poised to spark fierce competition among the connoisseurs of the series who only shoot for the best. Ex. Terner Collection (Goldberg Auction 25, May 2004, Lot 1186)
