Recent score: 1798 Guinea PCGS MS63

[jvic]

Early this year I found a place that was selling a raw 1798 Guinea for around 1250 CAD (720 GBP) and I bought it due to the amazing luster and strike of the coin. Recently I subbed this coin to PCGS for grading and the grade came back MS63. Needless to say I am very surprised and happy about the result along with my MS61 1817 Sovereign.

Nothing to do with this particular coin I'm sure, but keep you eyes peeled in the coin community in Canada...

A beautifully struck Guinea and a pleasure to see - thanks for sharing.

Some have lettering around the edge that (for whatever reasons) 'falls off' the edge - nice to see yours doesn't have this feature.

I never know whether this is due to the die just being engraved with the lettering all the way at the edge, whether the diameter is smaller, they do vary, or whether they've been filed?

Great coin by the way, I love guineas!

Oh yes I know that news and I know the owner as well. Don't worry this coin is not part of the stolen lot and I think Joe did recover the stolen goods.
