1775 George III Gold Guinea Coin Weight

[Meadoway40]

Your 1701 coin is a brass Guinea 'Counter'. Issued around 1850 and used as Card game counters. Card games were very popular in Victorian times. The coin copies a Gold Guinea of George III, the date of course is wrong as it would be William III in 1701

I`m not sure what I have but its dated 1701 and is gold in colour And has the bust of George on one side and a shield on the other side. Can someone help tell me what i have

[creamofcardstv]

I think it might be earlier than George I (1716-1727), unless its overseas. Why not do a video showing both sides

Your enthusiasm for the subject matter in these videos is evident by the in-depth research that you undertake.

You present information very well and produce some very interesting videos.

All the best for 2010.

A standard to check and verify weight of other coins, people used to shave off a little here and there to cheat.

especially with the irregular hammered coins. My mates dad goes metal detecting on local farmland and finds quite a few hammered silver coins, but they are usual well worn and clipped round the edges.

I had a Canadian Gold Maple Leaf 1oz. coin, it's amazing the weight and softness of the metal.

My mate found a gold coin in a high quality Christmas cracker. It was a really small Dos Pesos coin.

i love that coin!

I'd like a 18th century gold guinea. My mate was given 2 as a present. The coin weights are quite interesting as well
