COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY George V (1910-1936), Bronze Specimen Double, 1914H (cf Pr 83; cf S 7217A; cf KM 11). Mint state, lacquered, rare, unrecorded in both Pridmore and Krause.
ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin's Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 155 (part)
While we have been fortunate to have the number of coins that the Heaton Mint Archive had in 1975, mostly specimen strikes, we were unable to obtain them for Guernsey. Our best indicator would be what Dick Ford had. He was one of the 'special' collectors of his day and he would have been one of the first people offered coins from Heaton. He did not have this denomination, but had the 2-Double of this date. However, we are aware of pre-1975 sales having some of these specimen coins, so a proper number is impossible, nevertheless, their rarity is not in doubt
Estimate: £150-200
