Goldberg Auction Madness? Or Jubilee Coins Gone Wild!

I also notice on their website that they bought the only Eddie 8 proof set in private hands a couple of years ago for a whopping £1.35m. Is that the record for English coins??

Of course the set is multiple coins, so not on a per coin basis. I believe that the Coenwulf gold [concoction] holds the record. Ooops, sorry to give away my perspective on that one...

Back to the OP - I still think the price outrageous regardless of quality. I have a feeling more high grade Jub coins will come out of the woodwork at prices like this - that should depress relatively values, at least in comparison to what was fetched by these coins. I still contend that the recent 1893 Jub head 6d is far more valuable, much more rare and nearly of like quality to the proof 87 Jub 6d regardless of its variant - the former coin was PL and near to gem preservation and had a price on the order of 5.5k pounds by recall.
