[Nicholas 51]

I have a 1713 post union Anne guinea with no stop after the word gratia on the Obverse side but it's not listed anywhere.

Wow, even with the pixelation I can see that's a special coin. You will need to provide better images, however, you can link to an external host, such as photobucket, and get some quality images up here for viewing!

Looks magnificent, though!

To an old cynic like me, it looks suspiciously good. Absolute BU specimen. If it's genuine then it's a peach, but could it be a replica?

Cynicism would be the order of the day for anyone looking at this, it does look amazing! Very difficult to say any more with such low-res images.

Are you planning to sell it?

It's from the Termer collection. Not sure how to send a higher res image in this forum.

Use photobucket then paste the code into your reply, you don't need to reduce the size of your picrures then

Nice coin with a hint of wear to the shoulder, I bet you're pleased with that.

I can see a faint suspicion of a stop between the shoulder and the A - could be a filled die? There's a faint amount of wear on the shoulder, but it's certainly GEF I would say. Unfortunately, my Spink is 2005 and way out of date, but that gives £1500 in EF so I'd say it should be £2k - £2.5k by now, but with an added premium for its being so good.

----------------------------------------

Despite what Dave says, it's certainly possible to post good pictures here, even with a 150k per post limit. Use an image editor :

1. reduce the resolution to 72 ppi (you don't need more than that on a computer screen)

2. reduce the size to around - e.g. - 600 pixels square (pictures don't need to be the size of dinner plates, just a few times larger than lifesize)

3. save as a JPEG and compress it to medium quality at best (it won't deteriorate after one edit/save) - the result should easily be within the 150k limit.

Actually, your Photobucket image is only 300 pixels square, and when I brought it into Adobe Elements and saved it as a medium JPEG, the file size was 48k!! In other words, you've got plenty of room to work with.

(Chris P - if I do a full post on how to do this, can you put it as a 'sticky' in one of the forums?)

1713 in spink 2013 EF is £3750

Sounds like there's no documentation on this variety. Thanks for the info to all. I've promised this coin to William McKay when I sell! Happy new year to all coin enthusiasts!

This is such an important forum aid, that's so patiently written about, over and over, that it MUST be worthy of a sticky post, surely?

If you read the reply from peckris there is a faint hint of the stop, which i can now also see, so more than likely a clogged die than a variety

Can't see any sign of filing or a partially filled die.

I have to agree with you based upon that image! I recently had a supposed 'no stop after DEI' 1700 shilling (the thread's on here), which turned out to be a blocked die (which Spink's accepted, and proposed a change to the catalogue).

At micro observation, this coin showed the stressings on the coin's surface of a blocked die, which would need to be absolutely perfectly blocked to avoid it (I would think); I can't see this on your coin, and I'd say it's even better grade than my shilling!

I'm going to get the guinea out of the vault and get it under my microscope.

Ok. Close up of place where stop should be..

I was thinking when i read close up it was going to be under magnification. It really needs to be umder a scope
