Half Guinea 1705 Queen Anne Pre-Union with Scotland S3564 NGC MS61. An extremely rare coin the first example we have seen in any grade, the Slaney Example was sold in London in 2016 as NGC MS64 and realised £14,000, our example is only the second one NGC have graded and is fresh to the market
Five Guineas 1675 Charles II First Bust S3328E NGC AU Details REV SCRATCHED. A rare seldom offered date the last one we sold was graded NGC XF45 and realised £20,000 (the coin we are offering now is better grade overall with minor scratches reverse). NGC have only graded 5 of this type with four of those in graded AU55 or lower
Half Guinea 1713 S.3575 in an NGC holder and graded AU58+. All Queen Anne gold desirable and rare in high grades. Only the fourth example we have offered in 20 years
Guinea 1702 S.3562 Good Fine/Near VF, lightly rubbed on the Queen's jawline and with some hairlines in this area, the reverse with some thin scratches around the central rose. All Pre-Union Queen Anne Guineas are extremely rare in all grades, the Standard catalogue now values these at £2250 in Fine, and £6500 in VF. We note our archive database stretching back to 2003 shows that we have only offered two pre-Union Guineas, of which only one was 1702 (London Coins Auction A167 Lot 594) which was graded AU50 and realised £4500
Guinea 1713 S.3574 Near VF/VF with some scuffs and scratches, a small area of flattening to the obverse rim is evident, with some roughness to the edge milling in this area, however the surfaces with no obvious evidence of having been in jewellery, viewing recommended
Half Guinea 1696 Elephant and Castle, a short-lived, two-year type. S.3467, Good Fine/Near VF with some weakness in the centre, the obverse with minor scratches in the right field, the reverse enhanced by touches of violet tone. Our archive database stretching back to 2003 shows that we have offered only three previous examples.
Guinea 1695 Elephant & Castle S.3459, VG, Ex-Jewellery, an extremely rare 2-year type, with the 1696 coin stated as 'Extremely rare' by the Standard Catalogue. Our archive database stretching back 21 years reveals that this is the first example we have handled. Further research has uncovered a coin offered at Heritage Auctions in January 2024, whose description stated that their coin was the first they had handled, and that NGC had only graded one (their) example. We note also that PCGS have only graded one example, so by statistical analysis alone, proves to be rarer than the Standard Catalogue would suggest, Guinea collectors will certainly be alerted to this rare opportunity to own a coin of this type
Half Guinea 1678 8 over 7 S.3348 in an NGC holder and graded VF35, the 8 clearly struck over a 7, with the underlying downward stroke bold in the lower loop, the overstruck 8 also appears double struck, all Charles II gold difficult to find to all grades above Fine
Guinea 1696 S.3458 VG the reverse slightly better, the edge with no milling remaining, with a minor file mark on the edge suggesting possibly once in jewellery, the surfaces however are far superior to the vast majority of ex-jewellery pieces that we encounter.
