03/09/2023 Auction 182	English Coins	Lot 1978	Half Guinea 1759 S.3685 EF with some surface marks, very scarce in high grade. We note an example offered in our A179 Auction, graded as NGC MS61 (Lot 1667, realised £1700 hammer price) displays more wear than this coin More coins like this Signature Sale : The Collection of a Discerning Gentleman many decades in the making	£1,500
09/09/2017 Auction 158	English Coins	Lot 1978	Guinea 1667 S.3342 Fine/Good Fine with a scratch on the portrait, a mount has been removed from the top of the obverse	£550
05/03/2017 Auction 156	English Coins	Lot 2092	Guinea 1685 Elephant and Castle S.3401 UNC retaining much original mint lustre and with a peripheral light tone. Very attractive and fully struck, vastly superior in grade and strike than the Jacob.Y.Terner example (Ex-Bridgewater House collection), which graded NGC MS63, described as 'mint fresh and beautiful', and realised $18,400 at Ira and Larry Goldbergs Auction in 2003 (Lot 20), similar in quality to the illustration on page 9 of the Bentley Collection catalogue detailing the history of the Gold Sovereign and it predecessors. A truly stunning example of this rare two-year type, and seldom offered in any grade, perhaps one of the finest examples extant. The elephant and castle was the emblem of the Royal African company, founded in 1660 as the Company of Royal Adventurers Trading in Africa. This organisation held a monopoly on trade along the West African coast. In 1667 the original company collapsed but later merged with the Gambian Merchants Company to become in 1672 the Royal African Company. Trading was chiefly in gold and silver, and sadly for several decades, human slaves More coins like this	£15,000
02/12/2012 Auction 139	English Coins	Lot 1796	Guinea 1667 Third Laureate Bust S.3342 GF/NVF our records indicate that this is only the second example we have handled since 2003	£2,600
