HAXall Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 Thanks,David!but i know that the same coin (better condition) was bought for 800 £ not so long ago. Quote
argentumandcoins Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 That kind of begs the question, why are you asking if you think you already know the answer? Quote
azda Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Thanks,David!but i know that the same coin (better condition) was bought for 800 £ not so long ago. The same coin in better condition might have made that money, but yours is not in that better condition, hence you won't see that price for yours. Quote
scott Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 also depends on the mint etc.russian market is boyant Quote
SionGilbey Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Looks like an F to me. Certainly not an £800 coin. Was the £800 coin in an outstanding grade? Was it a rare variety or mintmark? Grade and Rarity are the things that usually affect the price you can sell a coin for. Quote

If it doesn't spring up in auctions much and they need it to complete a collection or some similar scenario they would be prepared to pay top dollar for it... but $800 seems a bit much. Quote
