VickySilver Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Heritage sold a nearly identical (under graded?) Proof64 for USD $9600 in January....Last year a "66" went for USD $39.9! Quote

Guest 1937 sets Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Be careful what you pay, the bubble has burst on the 1937 sets .....the days when every dealer had one at £!4k + are gone....recent auctions see them going for under 10K including BP Quote
rpeddie Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 £8-10k are for ungraded ones, i've been on the lookout for a good set that would be worth grading for a 65+ and its tough to find one. Quote
VickySilver Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 I wouldn't touch these with a very long pole. IMO, there are just too many around both graded and ungraded with likely some very nice ones out "in the wild". Even more mystifying are the proof late Vicky gold from 1887 and '93. Yikes! 1 Quote

The 87,93 and 37 are all very nice which makes them desirable but with the mintage numbers considered are well over priced now. I would like any of the coins from either sets though cant bring myself to spend what they fetch now. If people keep paying they'll keep climbing... Quote
VickySilver Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 These at one time were quite inexpensive and then about 10 years ago began to slowly take off, first the sov and then the others. I got a P63UltraCameo 1887 half sov for USD 350 and then a 1937 P70Cam sovereign for about USD1150 Quote
