Downies Sale 316

[Garrett 76]

Received the new Downies auction catalogue in the mail this morning.

Probably not too much that will excite the crew here but there is a really nice looking 1746 Lima half-crown purportedly UNC with 'attractive golden toning'. Looks nice enough in the picture but the toning looks more like coffee stains.

The example I bought in my youth is only VF, but I am not out to upgrade at the moment. Also, wouldn't mind having a side wager that this coin sails well above estimate (750 AUD + commission).

I am guessing the online catalogue will be available soon.

Cheers

Garrett.

Well, that took its own sweet time to load!

Interesting range of coins on offer. That halfcrown is everything you said Garrett - beautiful condition, not so beautiful toning. Not a lot else, you're right.

One or two varieties that caught my eye, but otherwise not too much.

I didn't see much for me. So far, the London Coins auction is more interesting. Looking forward to the DNW catalogue.
