Two Guineas 1738 Repositioned legend on obverse S.3667B a very pleasing example retaining original lustre, the reverse particularly attractive, in an NGC holder and graded AU58, superior in appearance, striking and eye appeal to an example offered in London Coins Auction A158 (September 2017) which realised £2400 hammer price
Two Guineas 1735 S.3667A VF with a few flecks of haymarking, and a small depression in the obverse field in front of the bust, a key date rarity, one of only two examples we have offered in 18 years, so perhaps rarer than catalogue values would suggest
Two Guineas 1738 Repositioned legend S.3667B Fine or slightly better, with traces of old mounting on the tops of the rims at 3 and 9 o'clock visible under magnification. Overall a presentable example and superior to many of the ex-jewellery pieces we see of this type
Two Guineas 1701 Fine Work S.3457 Near EF and retaining traces of original lustre, attractive and desirable in this pleasing grade, comes in a London Mint Office box with certificate stating Condition: PCGS About Uncirculated 55, lists at £25,000 in EF in the Spink Standard Catalogue. In 2014 the Standard Catalogue valued this coin in EF at £12,500, so has doubled it's catalogue value in just five years. We note that we have only offered two previous examples since 2003, and in the same period we have offered sixteen 1701 Fine Work Five Guineas, thus indicating this to be by far the scarcer coin, a rare opportunity to obtain a high grade rarity such as this

Two Guineas 1709 S.3569 GVF, some old thin scratches and very light haymarks in the obverse field barely detract, a boldly struck example, the strong relief of the bust particularly eye-catching, According to our archive database stretching back to 2003, this is the finest we have offered of this date
Two Guineas 1694 4 over 3 S.3424 Near VF/VF the reverse ex-brooch mount, the mount marks skilfully removed and the legends at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock re-engraved in good style, thus still retaining much of the beauty of the original designs, William and Mary Two Guineas, with only 5 date/type combinations in the series are seldom offered in any grade
Two Guineas 1682 S.3335 Obverse VG, the reverse with some misty areas, however our archive database stretching back to 2003 reveals that this is only the second we have offered of this date
Two Guineas 1739 Intermediate Head S.3668 Good Fine with some edge bruises and a surface scratch near the rim on either side suggesting possibly once in jewellery, the surfaces however are original, viewing recommended
Two Guineas 1735 S.3667A GF/NVF a pleasing and collectable example for the grade, a key date rarity, only the second example we have offered in 16 years, so perhaps rarer than catalogue values would suggest

Two Guineas 1713 S.3569 EF desirable thus a small haymark on the Queen's shoulder hardly detracts, Queen Anne large gold is very difficult to find in this high grades but this date appears to be rare we have offered 22 Queen Anne Two Guineas in recent years but this is the first dated 1713 we have seen
Two Guineas 1684 S.3335 NVF/VF gilded, with some hairline scratches, the reverse with signs of repair in the fields below the date and on and around HIB
