George III gold "Military" Guinea 1813 MS64 NGC, KM664, S-3730. One of just 80,000 of the type produced to pay soldiers fighting in the Napoleonic Wars; the final year of the Guinea's production, this offering is tied for the finest business strike graded by either NGC or PCGS. Truly a delight to behold, this selection boasts fully glassy fields lightly toned an intense orange at the peripheries, the strike so definitive as to lend bold relief even to the delicate engraving of George's laureate wreath. Unbeatable for the type and with truly wondrous eye appeal.
