lordmarcovan Posted September 19 · Member Share Posted September 19 (edited) Coming my way in a swap. This is my first “Rose” type guinea. Previously I’ve owned one George III “Spade” type guinea.

I recently acquired the larger 1965 Peruvian 100-soles piece (over 1.3 oz of gold!) so I felt like I no longer needed the 50-soles with the same design. The spot value of the gold in the 50-soles was roughly equivalent to what Atlas Numismatics was asking for the 1781 guinea. So I swapped with them. The guinea doesn’t have as much bullion as the modern Peruvian coin did, but it’s got a lot more history. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
