thecapuletconspiracy Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 I have always wanted a Mary and Phillip Irish groat for my collection, and sadly cannot afford the better examples, but I have managed to find two 'fair' coins both priced at £66. I am having difficulty choosing an example and was hoping for some feedback on the two examples I have managed to locate. Firstly, do you think the price is fair for the grade of coin? and secondly, which example would you personally prefer? I know everyone is different when it comes to personal choices for their own collection, but I am torn on these two.I am currently leaning towards the 1556 groat even though it doesn't have a full flan.Any replies would be much appreciated Quote
azda Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I'm going to be brutally honest here and say NONE. I read your post that you have limited funds, so why not save the 66 quid, add to it and wait for a better example to come along? Quote
numismatist Posted June 5, 2012 Posted June 5, 2012 I think " azda " has got it right. Even at £20.00 each I would leavewell alone. Spink had this one estimated £100/£120 and it was unsold as no onewanted it ( Lot 553 28th March 2012 ) Quote

It also makes me see things for what they are, and not rush into rash decisions. I think as you have I should hold out for a better example Quote
