<Our item number 79540><B><FONT COLOR="#FF0000">Great Britain.</FONT> Two Guineas, 1701, &#34;Fine Work.&#34;</B> William III. S-3457; Fr-310. Most &#34;twos&#34; will probably never catalogue at the same level as the &#34;fivers,&#34; but as all advanced gold collectors know only too well, the Two guinea coins are rarer as a class than the Fives. In the case of these Fine Work issues, the fact is that the two largest denominations are probably of about equal rarity, and it&#39;s the guinea that&#39;s the real challenge in the highest grade. Nonetheless, we are talking true rarity here, as well as extra-nice condition. This specimen is graced by a delightful, old red tone, indicative that it&#39;s not been touched or fiddled with ever. Although completely different in eye-appeal, it&#39;s the perfect companion to the Fiver of this style, and like that coin seldom seen in such a gorgeous state of preservation. The owner comments that &#34;so fine was the workmanship on this particular coin that it would be di fficult to determine if this was originally a presentation piece or item of superior finish.&#34; Certainly worthy of a fine collection of British gold coins. <B>NGC graded MS-63.</B> <BR>Estimated Value &#36;10,000-12,500. <I><BR>The Cheshire Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 79540<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/079540.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/31jpegs/079540N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:brian@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
