Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.
I have coins to sell, what’s the next step?

George III (1760-1820), gold Pattern Third Guinea of Seven Shillings, 1775, laureate head right, legend surrounding, GEORGIVS. III. DEI. GRATIA., rev. inverted die axis, crowned lion standing left on large crown with caul, date either side at top, legend surrounding, MAG. BRI. FR. ET. HIB. REX., edge grained (WR 136 R4; KM-Pn54; EGC 883 R6; Douglas-Morris 77; Montagu 551; Murdoch 168). Attractively toned, a couple of tiny dark spots in obverse legend, some hairlines, has been graded and slabbed by PCGS as SP58 as these patterns are not very proof-like, the initial 1775 issue of the highest rarity as we can trace no more than three examples in private hands.
PCGS Certification 786715.58/42187815.
The Latin legends translate to on obverse "George the Third by the Grace of God" continuing on the reverse as "King of Great Britain, France and Ireland" a departure from the much longer abbreviated titles seen on the regular guinea series coinage of this time.
Provenance:
Ex Heritage, New York Signature Sale, 4th January 2009, lot 21368.
