Well the coin has just arrived back from CGS and it's been encapsulated which I understand

means that they believe it to be authentic.

The details of the label are as follows:

Great Britain

Guinea 1722 4B.HI err.

Field Damage F CGS variety 04

25226 - 1G.G1.1722.04

So it's authentic but is classed as Field Damage - so CGS will not give a value.

But it's pure gold and not a forgery - well chuffed and worth the £30 charge for peace of mind.

The size and weight would tell you whether it was gold or even a simple trip to the man on the market who buys gold would of done this FOC with his potions.

I believe with out being slabbed it would of generated more on Ebay as a raw coin.

Yes - if you review the thread I new it was gold before sending it to CGS. The reason for sending it to CGS was that there was much sceptisism on this Forum that it was a fake!

So now it's been established as authentic, although field damaged, - any thoughts on value?

You would get £400+ on Ebay

My last guinea cost me £112 and my half guinea £50 plus my BU SA 1928 sov was £60.

There are a few nice farthings there.
