George II gold 5 Guineas 1741/38 AU Details (Repaired) PCGS, KM571.1, S-3663A, Schneider-563. 4 over 3 in date. A boldly struck representative of this endlessly collectible type, with full detail expressed throughout the king's hair and laurel wreath, seemingly looking forward to a standard of quality that would not be perfected for the issue until the later part of the decade. While the repair work noted on the holder may refer to minor scratching around the top of the reverse shield, this on the whole proves relatively unobtrusive to the coin's eye appeal--a still 'crisp' finish preserved beneath what is perhaps a light cleaning from long ago.
