CartwheelTwopence Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Gothic crown, proof Gold. Only 1 exists; it sold for £11,000 in 1988. That means, what, £50,000 now? £100,000? Quote
Paulus Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Yes, it would probably break some records, anyone have a pic of it? Quote
Rob Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 There might be an image on Hus' forum as the last time it came up for sale it made quite a stir and a thread was started about it. The sale was in Tokyo in 2008 or 09 and it made £336K if I recall. Quote
CartwheelTwopence Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Wow. Just when I thought obtaining one couldn't get any more unrealistic... Quote
CartwheelTwopence Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Recently I have discovered something equally as amazing: look at this 1853 proof set, with Gothic crown and gold. I can't decide what I like most about it - the coins or the box! Quote
Garrett Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Goodness how beautiful !Is there a half-farthing included in the set ? Quote
CartwheelTwopence Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Sorry - the internet pictures did not show the reverses. A bit of a shame, really... Oh, and the half farthing is included.Isn't it just the dream set? Quote
Nick Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 The set was sold by CC, so Neil may have a picture of the reverses. Quote
NRP Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Yes that's the picture on my website, I will have a look tomorrow though that picture is about 10 years old, still I might have the reverse pic somewhere!! Quote
MACKSILKY. Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Incredible set of coins dose any one know how much this set sold for? Quote
NRP Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 From memory, £24,500 but that was around 10 years ago!! Quote
NRP Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Yes I have just checked it was 24500 10 years ago. Unfortunately I don't have the picture of the reverse, sorry :-( Quote
Nick Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I suspect a set like that would go for £75k or more these days. Quote
Nicholas Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) For me it would have to be late hammered, sharp details, original tone, really nicely preserved EF Tudor or Stuart AND a great rarity egSilver:Liz I Crown Mintmark 2Liz I 8 testerns portcullis moneyCarlisle or Scarborough besiegedExeter Halfcrown spirited horseRawlins Crown from OxfordGold : James I spur-ryal with the lionLiz I milled half poundH8 Sovereign Edited November 5, 2014 by Nicholas Quote
pokal02 Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 It would have to be the 1674 crown to complete my milled (non-proof) date set. I'd also like a Chas I Briot pattern crown (N2670?) and a 1644 Oxford please. Quote
Rob Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) I've just acquired this for someone. There are 3 others in private hands somewhere, so if anyone is hiding one, please PM me. I want one. Actually, I need one for the initial mark. Edited November 12, 2014 by Rob Quote
azda Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Ask geoff cope Rob, or perhaps you just aquired it for hin Edited November 12, 2014 by azda Quote
azda Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Obviously grade and rarity don't always go hand in hamd then. Quote
Rob Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 They are all like this. The BM's has a crack as a bonus. Quote
