GREAT BRITAIN. 1/2 Guinea, 1712. London Mint. Anne. NGC EF-45. S-3575; Fr-323; KM-527. Though all gold of Anne is quite popular and far more demanded than supplied, it appears that the 1712 1/2 Guinea is a bit more elusive, with only five total examples certified by PCGS and NGC. Demonstrating an original appeal, this example is nicely struck and displays an overall sparkling brilliance, with original luster shining through most prominently in the protected elements of the design. Some marking is noticed throughout, though this does tend to get lost in the brilliant swirl of light. A strong and commendable example that is certain to appeal to many. <strong>To view all items from the Augustana Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=the+Augustana+Collection&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the Augustana Collection.
