Half Guinea 1670 S.3347 VG/Fine, the obverse with a scratch, our archive database shows we have offered 38 Charles II Half Guineas since 2003, but this is the first 1670 we have seen
Half Guinea 1803 S.3736 EF and lustrous, attractive and desirable in this high grade, part of a small group of high grade fractional Guineas offered in this sale
Half Guinea 1810 S.3737 EF and lustrous, in an LCGS holder and graded LCGS 65, Half Guineas seldom seen in lustrous grades, the joint finest of 4 examples thus far recorded by the LCGS Population Report, Ex-London Coin Auction A119 December 2nd 2007 Lot 971
Five Guineas 1701 Fine Work DECIMO TERTIO choice mint state with proof like fields, Ex Roderick Richardson and with his price ticket £75,000 "Choice Mint State" graded and encapsulated by CGS as 80 (UNC) so offered here having three companies (LCA, CGS and Richardson) concur on a mint state grade. In the 10 years since CGS has been grading coins only two other pre 1750 gold coins have an 80 grade those being a Half Guinea of 1725 and a Guinea of 1713, As for current market indicators Five Guineas in EF of George II can be seen on display at UK coin shows around the £45,000 marker and it was reported to us by the seller and an independent source corroborated that a Charles II 5 Guineas in NGC 61 sold at the March MSCF show for £78,000, the read across table compiled empirically by CGS collectors suggest that USA slabbed coins in MS61 average CGS 65 grade. Regardless of the technically grade and price this is a spectacular coin surely never to be matched for eye appeal and beauty.
Half Guinea 1711 S.3575 VF the obverse with some hairlines and a couple of small striking flaws, our archive database shows only 13 sales of Queen Anne Half Guineas since 2003, many of these in low grade, this certainly the best grade example of this date we have offered
Third Guinea 1799 S.3738 Fine with some surface scuffs, the key date in the series, Half Guineas (2) 1758 S.3685 VG/NF for wear with some heavier scuffs and edge knocks, possibly ex-mount, 1793 S.3735 VG/NF with some heavy scuffs, possibly ex-mount
Half Guinea 1688 S.3404 Nearer EF than VF with some weakness on the higher points of the King's hair and correspondingly on the base of the French shield all James II Half Guineas hard to find and in our opinion under-rated in terms of rarity this borne out by the fact that we have handled only two examples since March 2003
Half Guinea 1732 VF with some light surface scuffing, a scarce issue, we were surprised to notice that on our database of almost 32,000 lots sold there are currently no George II YH Half Guineas (our complete database can be viewed on the London Coins web site www.londoncoins.co.uk, "Realised Prices. What Is It Worth")
