Condition:  UNC

Beautiful blue toning, not captured well in the scan.  Surfaces appear nearly prooflike.

1776 Guinea

Condition:  Bold XF
Krause Mishler #: 604

Fantastic condition for this type, and a significant date for US collectors.  Evidence of clashed die on the obverse.

1791 Guinea

Condition:  Damaged, Ex-Jewelry
Krause Mishler #: 609

This sort of coin would usually not make its way to my collection, due to the damage, but it was destined for melt, and I just couldn't let that happen - not a bad pick up for the melt price really. Too bad I couldn't save it before the hole.

1803 Half Guinea

Condition:  AU
Krause Mishler #: 649

Fantastic details with nice orange tones.  This one was difficult to photograph in the ICG slab, causing the shadow issues around the top.
