The value of a 1788 King George III spade guinea gold-plated fake coin is primarily determined by its collector interest rather than its intrinsic gold value, as it is a replica. Such fakes typically sell for a modest amount, often between $5 to $20, depending on their condition and the market demand for novelty items. It's important to note that the coin's historical significance is diminished due to its counterfeit nature. Always consult with a numismatic expert for a more accurate assessment.
It's made of brass, not gold plated, and it's only worth face value in circulated condition.
Such a coin does not exist. The Sovereign was not reintroduced into the British currency until 1816. You may have a One Guinea of Half-Guinea coin. Either way, there are no known examples of either of these coins in mint or uncirculated condition. The Guinea coin has an unflattering image of George III on the obverse and a crowned, spade shaped shield on the reverse. Both coins have an unflattering image of George III on the obverse and a crowned, spade shaped shield on the reverse. The Guinea coin is 24mm in diameter, a little larger than a Sovereign. The Half-Guinea coin is 20mm in diameter, smaller than a Sovereign, but slightly larger than a Half-Sovereign.

Please check your coin. The word "spade" referring to British coins is a reference to the "spade" shaped shield on the reverse of gold Guinea and Half-Guinea coins minted between 1787 and 1800. The Florin coin was not (re)introduced into the British currency until 1848.
George V (1910-36) Halfpennies were made from bronze. If you have a gold Halfpenny, it is because somebody gold plated it. Modified coins have no collector value.
This not a product of the US Mint and has no numismatic value. Unfortunately the best place to check for the value of this is eBay.
assuming it was nickel plated after market, it would lose value for that reason.....
Plated coins are considered to be altered items with no extra numismatic value.
First of all, theres no such thing as "silver plated sterling". Sterling is 92.5% silver, anything plated is just plated. If the item is solid sterling silver, its metal value depends on the current price of silver - but it may be worth more as a collectible. If it's plated base metal it has very little value.
ok
Your coin is either a gold British Guinea or a Half-Guinea coin. These were the only two British coins minted by the Royal Mint in 1794. The reverse of both coins will have a crowned spade shaped shield. The Guinea coin is known as a "Spade Guinea". The Guinea coin has a diameter of about 24mm and the Half-Guinea is smaller at about 20 mm. The legend should read GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA on the obverse meaning "GEORGE III by the Grace of God", and M B F ET H REX F D B ET L D S R I A T ET E on the reverse meaning "King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Duke of Brunswick and Lueneburg, Arch Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire". Which ever one you have, it is a coin of some value.
