Opinions on this George III Guinea

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just thought I'd post a few pictures of this George iii 1776 Guinea to see opinions of grade - have purchased over graded coins in the past so want to be sure about this before I 'splash out ' ? I am gradually becoming more familiar with coin grading,  however for a coin like this I feel the opinions of the experienced collectors on this forum should be considered first ☺

Thanks everyone in advance,

Conor

I'd give it VF - obvious flat bits to both sides, so I can't go higher.

I was thinking VF+, but if Rob says VF then that's good enough for me.

I see you've taken these photos from Ebay where it is graded aEF and comes with an asking price of £1700.

Yes, thought grade would have been reliable with this seller, good thing it's on my screen and not in my hand ? his asking price is very steep- have seen uncirculated examples go for less.

VF/VF+ depends on which bit you are looking at. Hair is quite reasonable, but it looks like wear on the eyebrow. Left side of the shield is better than the right. Nobody is going to argue the toss over a + sign - unless you are the seller
