Five Guineas 1687 Second Bust S.3397A TERTIO edge in a PCGS holder and graded AU55. Flashes of red toning and lustre in the legends enhance the eye appeal of this impressive piece. We note an example graded NGC 58 recently changed hands in the USA for $78000 (around £60000). The example offered here displays only slightly more overall wear to the obverse and with a superior reverse. The piece offered here would be a worthy addition to an advanced early milled gold collection. We note this is now listed at £70,000 in EF in the Spink catalogue, compared to £22,500 back in 2014, so the catalogue price of this coin has tripled in just 7 years.
