CuriousGeorge New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 08:43 am Afternoon all. Can anybody help in identifying the date in which this coin is likely to have been produced? As it differs from the other George II half guineas I have seen I am assuming it is an early production. Fake? Or am I being a bit simple and is it a one guinea (I am rather new to this game and it looks like it says half...)? Thanks for any help! CuriousGeorge Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16871 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 09:21 am I would assume that it's a "coin weight" - something intended to be used to weigh a coin on a balance; the "w" would be abbreviation for "weight". Does it weigh the same as a half-guinea (4.175 grams)? Coin weights are collectable in their own right - I was at a coin show earlier today and saw a dealer with a trayful of similar items; he was asking $30 to $100 for them. 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 Report this Post to the Staff
CuriousGeorge New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 05/22/2011 11:08 am Thanks! I was wondering why I couldn't find anything about this. I would never have guessed it was a coin weight! Guess I still have rather a lot to learn. Still very interesting and thanks for your swift response! CuriousGeorge Report this Post to the Staff
