jasonsewell Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Couple of beauty's coming up at Heritage. Think they'll be a little out of reach for me... https://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/world-coins/proof-pr64-ngc-/p/3066-31009.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515 https://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/world-coins/proof-pr64-ngc-/p/3066-31012.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515 1 Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 You'd think they'd slab them straight, omg I'd send them back to be re-done! Beautiful vicky proof though. Quote

rpeddie Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 1927 PF62 1/2 Crown sold recently for £53000 link 1 Quote
rpeddie Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 good news is the 3 pence might be affordable, a proof 4 pence example sold 2016 for a measly £5400 Quote
VickySilver Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 I never could quite sync up on this coin - when I did have the money (and they were a lot cheaper), none were available. And now 2 selling in such a short period. I guess this is Tyrant territory nowadays.... Quote
rpeddie Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 £5000 seems (relatively) cheap to me considering the 2x? gold GV sixpence sold in the last few years for over 20k Quote

VickySilver Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 Yes, I'd expect the 3d will go double or above that amount of estimate. Please see results from the recent DNW sale of late Vicky groats; my surprise is if it would go less than 15k. Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 I couldn't find many examples of the 3d but I'm still new to finding exactly where to look, 15k would suprise me (cheap at that price) from my limited knowledge of gold - mostly because I can't afford it so I try not to cause myself pain by looking 1 Quote
VickySilver Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 That collection did not have any, just the early Vick proof groats went very high. I seem to recall some years ago one going for around 11k - and that was SOME years ago. I will stick to the "over" on the 15k. 1 Quote
VickySilver Posted May 20, 2018 Posted May 20, 2018 Not sure if that is gold gold if you know what I mean. A lot more than 42 quid's worth of gold if it were actually that. I tend to think not; also, a lot of toning for gold. Quote

The reverse is of equal merit, beautiful work, one of the better halfcrown reverses I find, and in gold it is more impressive. Would be a joy to behold and hold in hand I'm sure.

rpeddie Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 the PF62 is just a lower res image, if you look at it closely its got a bit of damage on the face as well as being significantly off centre struck for a proof.(this alone on a proof i feel is enough to downgrade) Also for once i feel the heritage image is sub par, the Japanese one is a bit better exposure and colour has been manipulated a bit Quote
1949threepence Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Beautiful coins above. I'd love to see a pic of the unique Freemans 2 & 34 (1860 and 1861) Victorian penny gold proofs. Quote

NRP Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 I believe these gold proofs are undervalued in relation to US coins, a coin as rare as the 1927 halfcrown in gold would be nearer to a million dollars or more if it was a US coin. Quote
Rob Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Difficult to say what it will go for. Looking at the link above, I'm surprised Heritage don't give an estimate, as any large number would surely increase the number of eyeballs, human avarice and envy being what it is. Quote
oldcopper Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 I think Heritage stick on the estimates when the bidding starts (23rd July) Quote

It's well known fact that Americans (apaart from members of this forum ) have more money than sense. 1 Quote
