1773 GEORGE III GOLD GUINEA - NGC AU58

1773 GEORGE III GOLD GUINEA - NGC AU58 A handsome and high-grade 1773 Gold Guinea from the reign of King George III, certified NGC AU58, placing it at the very top of circulated survivors for the type. This late-18th-century issue is prized for its classic portrait of George III by John Tanner and its elegant shield-and-garter reverse—an iconic design that defined British gold coinage for decades. The coin displays exceptional remaining detail, with sharp hair curls, a well-defined bust, and crisp lettering throughout. The reverse shield retains strong internal linework and attractive symmetry. Luster remains visible across the fields, giving the piece a near-Mint State appearance and elevating its eye appeal well above typical examples. Surfaces show only light, honest friction consistent with the AU58 grade, and the coin’s overall presentation is clean, bright, and highly collectible. With demand for premium George III guineas continuing to rise, this example offers both historical significance and outstanding visual quality. A superb opportunity to acquire a top-grade 1773 Guinea—a cornerstone piece for collectors of British gold and 18th-century world coinage.
