<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 23287, member: 669&quot;]Well, as Jody pointed out, on the date of the gold coin its subject wasn&#039;t even a potential gleam in his father&#039;s eye. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Ignoring the date, the only George III coin in the 18th/19th Century Krause volumes with a reverse matching your picture is KM#609, a 25mm 8.35g .9170 gold Guinea, minted from 1787-1799.&nbsp; 1791 is the only year that ends in a &quot;1&quot;.&nbsp; There are no mintage figures for the coin, and the &#039;91 (like most of the others) is listed at $125 F, $175 VF, $350 XF and $650 Unc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did someone tool the &quot;9&quot; to make it look like a &quot;0&quot;, or do you have a counterfeit?&nbsp; Your guess would be better than mine, as you have the coin available for a microscopic examination!</p><p><br /></p><p>The other one seems to match KM#665, a 2.8276g Sterling silver 6 pence, although the reverse legends are unreadable on the picture in my Krause.&nbsp; That coin is 20mm wide, and the clear date 1819 (which yours appears to be), is listed at $7.50 F, $15 VF, $30 XF, $70 Unc. and $1,000 Proof .&nbsp; The mintage was 4,712,000 business strikes and 1.489,000 proofs.&nbsp; The business strike 1919/8 (no mintage listed) is slightly more expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p>It shares an obverse design with KM#666, a 24mm 5.6552g shilling, but the reverse legend is definitely different.</p><p><br /></p><p>(BTW - if they were mine, if I didn&#039;t have them in 2x2s or better holders, I would be wearing a cotton glove and holding them by the edge - especially the gold one. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
