flippy Pillar of the Community Australia 1874 Posts	Posted 01/24/2014 8:36 pm At an auction today I saw a 1789 British Spade Guinea. I weighed it and it weight 8.1g. I was wondering if it was genuine and of it is what is it worth with the jewellery mount. Report this Post to the Staff

molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 1:29 pm I agree. It's been mounted, heavily cleaned and not exactly a superb year. Therefore, BV or close to me. Report this Post to the Staff
flippy Pillar of the Community Australia 1874 Posts	Posted 01/26/2014 4:42 pm Is 8.1g the correct weight? Most places I looked at said 8.4g. Report this Post to the Staff
molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 01/27/2014 03:48 am Flippy, due to excessive cleaning, circulation and even maybe due to piercing,for the mount, it would not be unusual for the coin to lose .3 grammes. It is not easy to determine whether the coin is genuine or not from the photos, at least for me -I have little experience regarding British gold. However, looks legit to me.
