Do you have an extremely rare coin?

Posted

I've handled 4 1934 Crowns, have a couple of mis struck coins that I believe to be very rare, and I have a Cupro Nickel 1868 Halfpenny (courtesy of one of the forum members).

Others have passed by too, but I can't remember them all.

I've had the pleasure of holding a Gothic Crown (but i wouldn't call that extremely rare).

Otherwise nope not really.

I thought you said in another thread that you did have an extremely rare coin Sylvester, no? The rarest coins I have are a threehalfpence with the date 1843/34 and a Gibraltar two quarts coin with the date 1842/1. They are both fairly rare, but I do not have an extremely rare coin though...

That's that king Stephen penny, but it's very rare not extremely rare, or Was it Ex Rare? :huh:

Can't remember but it's not as rare as a 1933 penny.

I think the ones I listed above are Very Rares...

Well, it's only about fine so I cherish it for its rarity, but not its looks :)

I'd say my favourite is either my 1839 proof - rare AND beautiful

Or a choice uncirculated cartwheel penny with about 50% lustre - shows Bolton's handiwork at its best

I've got an obscure rarity

An 1863 penny with the open style 3

According to the Satin reference there are only 6 known

Don't know if mine is a seventh

well if your's is a seventh then it ties with the 1933 penny, if there is only six and you've got the 6th one then they are rarer.

supply and demand again... :D

1933s will always be sought after because no-one likes a gap in their penny collection.

Minor varities pull the serious/advanced collectors, a whole missing year pulls anyone doing a date set.

i always sort my pennies as: 1931, 1932, 1934, 1935 ect... because i know i will more then likely get a 1933!

Posted
err what?

oops :D ,

correction: because i know i will more then likely not get a 1933!

I thought so. If I was you, I would have said it was sarcasm to embarass me, but both works!
