1853 Currency Groat - Has Anybody Ever Actually Seen One?

Recommended Posts

I see one of these DNW groats (the slightly less good one, on the left) has now turned up on eBay, item 272728514017, but at £595 buy it now, I'm not convinced it will find a buyer??

Yea, I saw that as well. Pass.....One day that might be a good value, but think seller possibly optimistic by about 200 or so.

Was that the sale just past? Good, as I would have been bidding on the '37 for sure...PM me if you like as I am interested as to what it went for?

I am starting to think rarity for proof Vicky Groats is something like from most to least rare and based on the last 20 years or so:

1857>1837>1838>1862>1853>1842>>1839

Oh, ok, then you meant the earlier sale. I nearly went for a bid at your piece but let it go as I wanted the higher grade. Hard to believe disappointment at the prices, these are after all only lowly groats. I had mentally predicted them at 5k and 2-2.5k. Love 'em anyway.

I wonder what such a price would mean for coins such as a truly uncirculated 1854 florin or the currency 1839 half crown in MS64? Or the 1893 Jubilee 6d in like grade?

It has been relisted, I see, item number:282668781681 but it is still £575.  Still way too much, I feel?

What might its actual value be? I know - whatever someone is prepared to pay - but how much is that?!

As above, IMO about 400-500. They are still 100 high on this price.
