Lot 2606
Great Britain. Half Guinea, 1748. S.3685; Fr-349; KM-587. George II, 1727-1760. Obverse: Old laureate head of King left. Reverse: Crowned quartered shield of arms. Edge obliquely grained. A very tough date to find in high grade, this coin has lots of original luster and is well struck. It is difficult to remember when any example of this date was last sold, as there was no 1748 Half Guinea in the Dr Jacob Terner, Millennia, Slaney, Samuel King, Clarendon, Cheshire, Strauss, Norweb, Eliasberg, Slaney, Schneider, Kaufman, or Marshall collections! NGC graded AU-53.
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,500.
