Last Friday, a British 1933 penny was sold at auction, by Heritage Auctions, in Anaheim, California at the ANA World’s Fair of Money for US$ 179,000
This equates to €174,411.06 or GB£151,920.22
I cannot help wondering if this coin might have sold for more money if offered for sale in a British auction.
What was the logic behind selling it via an American auction house in California?
Did the post-Brexit dip in the value of Sterling adversely affect the bids from the UK?
