Probably not rare I'm afraid. Photos will help. And also if you could measure the diameter, so we can work out what value of coin it is.

I'll guess at a regulation sixpence or shilling

What wrong with a shilling or sixpence. They are more common than imitation guineas.

Bugger, you beat me to it.

I'm going with an imitation spade Guinea.

1787 is uncommon for the imitations - more likely its a sixpence or shilling. Let's hope it not stamped WRL :ph34r:

Sorry pigpig. I think you're going to have to post some photos.

If for no other reason than to stop this thread derailing altogether!

You can upload photos of up to 150kb in size directly into a reply through the 'Attachments' bit below the reply box, or if you have them on a photohosting site, by using the 'Insert image' icon (little tree) above it.

Ideally make the coin the majority of the image and as in focus as you can manage. If the lighting makes the colour look off, best tell us what metal you think your coin is made from (silver, gold, brass are most likely).
