Yep, this one looks like the real thing. There were an awful lot of "lookalike" brass fake guineas made, but the legends on this one are good.
That's a nickel behind it, to scale? Then this is actually a half-guinea. 1756 isn't a scarce date, but all guineas are still worth over bullion value, unless they're very badly worn or damaged. AGW is 0.123 ounces, so BV is $114 right now. I'd grade this one Fine, so you'd probably add $50 to $100 on top of that for this coin.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
