A nice hefty pick-up of world gold. Will you keep it in a 2x2 or something else for storage?

I plan to get it graded as I don't trust my grubby little hands on touching it.

And thanks for everyone who like this coin. I picked up quite a bit of gold coins and I will make a post of what I picked up later.

Is there any particular reason why you picked this coin up? Country of origin, mintage, age, grade, hopeful investment, or historical fascination? It looks like it's in really great shape for being over 200 years old! I'm sure it has seen many hands!

That's a nice specimen. Over the past few years I've picked up foreign gold for type coins. A Louis here, a Doblon there, and finally a Guinea. A little dog-eared compared to yours, but it IS Queen Anne.

In hand, the Guinea is almost identical in size and weight to a US Draped Bust half eagle. It's easy to see what the prototype for the American coinage is.
