The guinea coin was not made after 1816.
In the old currency, One Guinea was equal to 21 Shillings or One Pound and One Shilling. In the new currency, One Guinea is equal to One Pound and Five Pence.
A British Guinea was worth 21 Shillings or One Pound and One Shilling.
The British gold Guinea coin was no longer issued after 1813, but it continued to be used as a value in the currency, and still is today in some businesses. The Guinea had a value of 21 Shillings or One Pound and One Shilling. One Guinea GBP in 1914 had the purchasing power of about £67.50 GBP today. NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.

The Guinea and its fractional denominations were withdrawn from circulation in 1816 and effectively replaced by the Sovereign and Half-Sovereign (One Pound and Ten Shillings respectively). When the Guinea was in circulation, it was worth One Pound and One Shilling (or 21 Shillings). The Shilling was progressively withdrawn from circulation after decimalisation. The Shilling became 5 New Pence in the new decimal currency. A Half-Guinea in modern terms, would be the equivalent of 55 Pence.
1914-D is not a rare date for Barber Dimes. Well-worn it's worth about $1.00 -- lightly worn with a complete & strong LIBERTY it's worth about $15.00 -- a nice uncirculated one is worth about $75.00
Well, there are a few ways to answer this question. The guinea was a gold British machine struck coin that eventually had the value of 1 pound and 1 shilling. In the pre-decimal system there were 20 shillings to the pound and 12 pence to the shilling. Eventually the guinea was superseded by the sovereign, a gold coin worth 1 pound. The difficulty in answering your question is that the guinea no longer really exists, technically it would be worth 1.10 pounds if you did a straight conversion of currency and converting the pre-decimal amount to the post-decimal amount, which would equal to about $1.76 US. However, since neither the UK or the US is on the gold standard anymore, the actual price of a gold guinea is much, much higher than $1.76, also, the pound has been devalued much more to the US than historically (historically there have been about 4 pounds in each US dollar, or about 5 shillings to the dollar). So if you have a physical guinea, post a new question including the date and an estimate of condition and we can find you a value for that coin.

In circulated condition it's worth about a dollar. A nice uncirculated one is worth $2 to $3
