No time to look through 15 pages of Great Britain in the 18th Century Krause.

 

If no one else has come through when I get home in several hours, and you have posted size information, I'll see what I can come up with.

It may be a different denomination? What does it measure size-wise?

[stinkycheese1]

Sell it to me! I'll take it whether its fake or not.

[ant]

1.5 inch across

 

and if i could remember how to read this micrometer. id know how thick it is

I'm wondering if there even is another Denomination for this type. I searched again and it only brings up this one coin. spade guinea

[ant]

me also! i cant find anything but what hog found

im going to take it today to see what the gold acid test does.

[satootoko]

The date can't be 1702, as that is 25 years before George II took the throne!

 

It also can't be the same as the spade guinea link, since that is a George III coin.

 

Bottom line IMHO is fantasy piece - correct size and half weight just doesn't add up to unlisted genuine.

[ant]

as i stated b4 and as you can see in pics you cant see the date! i had a gold test done today and it is gold just dont know what it is for sure. we did a file test on it on the edge and it still showed gold. only spot that turned brownish on test was at the added on part( curly qs)

[ant]

the weight is 4.4 though. so it cant be a genuine thanks all for the help. so 4.0g id say without the added part.

All the George II material in my Spink shows George looking to the left, not the right. The spacing between the "I"s doesn't look right either - too far apart.

The obverse has a left-facing bust of the king with the legend GEORGIVS II DEI GRATIA (GEORGIUS II DEI GRATIA between 1739 and 1743),

 

1761, 1763–1779, 1781–1799, and 1813. All the obverses show right-facing busts of the king with the legend GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA
