Great Britain (London, England), guinea, George II, 1750, reportedly from the Royal Savage (Benedict Arnold's ship), sunk in 1776 on Lake Champlain during the American Revolutionary War. Sp-3680; KM-588. 8.17 grams. AVF with weak rims and sediment in crevices attesting to its incredibly important (but unprovable) origin. Accompanied by an old, handwritten ticket that says "Picked up on shore in Ferrisburg [sic] near where Royal Savage was sunk." (Ferrisburgh, Vermont, is on Lake Champlain.)

Estimate: $1000
