Description
England. George III Half Guinea 1791. KM608. Fair. Mounted in three places on the edge, holed and plugged. Extremely worn from jewelry use, with typical pebbly jewelry surfaces. A Half Guinea regulated to the usual post-Revolutionary American standard of 5 dwt, 6 grains should weigh 63 grains; this one is close at 60.9 grains. Alas, it is a mere jewelry coin and shows no signs of regulation by anything more than a ladies' wrist.Provenance: From Spink's sale of June 29, 2006, Lot 390 (part).
From the Edward Roehrs Collection of U.S. Regulated Gold.
