craigy Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Not something i normally buy although i have been collecting them, i think they are worth the money because they are packaged fantastically in the clear perspex box thing, anyway saw this come up on ebay and had a bit of a spur of the moment bid winning it for £71 inc postage, a little over face value, i spose the 68 grade knocked it a bit, to be honest i can't see anything with the naked eye and have had a good look. you would think something new and not touched by hand would get a 70 or could be the dies have gone a bit funny as the coin is numbered early 29,000's, anyway, for little over the £60 when bought form the mint and it came with box etc i think its not a bad deal, 1 Quote

Paulus Posted August 14, 2017 Posted August 14, 2017 Simon Willis often has some great coins for sale, but in all honesty the TPG grading of this one seems like a joke! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victoria-Old-Head-Coinage-1900-Silver-Crown-S3937-PCGS-MS64-Choice-UNC-/172787889545?hash=item283af5f589:g:VVkAAOSwXY5ZSWXr Quote
