I wonder if someone would be kind enough to explain English Guineas,this is not the same amount as Pounds Stirling?

Spaceray,
I am pleased that Rod was able to point you in the right direction. A very good site indeed.

I was wondering whether you are a numismatist?

These coins are worth collecting if they are fine or very fine.
Avoid coins with pitted surface or poor definition.

No not into coins but trying to decipher how much money Handel lost on the Italian Operas he produced.
