Description
ENGLAND: (1685-88) King James II 1686 Full Guinea. Obverse: Second Laurette head facing left. Legend: IACOBVS.II.DEI.GRATIA. Reverse: crowned cruciform shields, sceptres in angles. Date either side of the Crown, MAG. BR. FRA. ET. HIB REX. Anyone who knows anything about guineas understands the difficulty in obtaining a King James. With the short reign and very little gold produced in this time is it any wonder many settle for low grades or ex-mount coins from this period? Here we have another Super Rare coin for you! Graded by NGC AU58 and in our opinion under graded, with just 3 coins graded higher.
Condition
