Passed in at a recent Spink auction: https://live.spink.com/lots/view/4-FIVKOF/ngc-ms63-elizabeth-ii-halsbury-committee-of-inquiry-on-decimal-currency-una-and-the-lion-pattern-for-a-fifty-cent-piece-1961

Yes, that was an entirely optimistic estimate IMHO as people are not enthralled with these at any price. Interested anecdotal piece that also IMHO is more of a 3k type coin.

[Mr T]

Yes it's interesting - I can see why predecimal collectors wouldn't be interested, and even decimal collectors might not warm to it as there never ended up being a 50c piece.

Very interesting piece, but hopelessly overestimated.
