Those should have been minted in the Tower of London. Mintage? ....back later if someone hasn't found it. I have the 18th c. Krause somewhere around here.

Thanks Mac.
Krause does not list any mintages

Conrad,
Spink's doesn't list mintage figures either for coins prior to 1838.

Thanks for looking Adian.
I guess there are no mintage figures available.
I assume King George III was minting so many guineas at that time to fund his post war bills that they didn't keep proper figures .... u'mm kinda reminds me of what we're doing over here in the USA now, except we call them $dollars$

A pic of my newly acquired, received in yesterday's mail, 1785 Guinea (NGC MS62)is posted here British Coin Friday. I got it from a from David Lawrence auction last Monday and I found its recent provenace going back to an Ira and Larry Goldberg auction in May of 2007.
