James II gold 5 Guineas 1686 AU58 NGC, KM460.1, S-3396. SECVNDO edge. The key of James II's 5 Guineas, offered here near the apex of the certified population as this specimen is bested by a single MS61 in NGC census. The planchet features subtle residual luster brightening the entire piece, hints of a reddish tone forming above the rich gold surfaces, and minor marks in the field (in line with the grade and such expansive flan issues) that do not detract from the eye appeal. A charming and enticing example for quality-minded collectors. Ex. Heritage Auction #3073 (April 2019, Lot 31097) HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
