Pegasus Auctions Selling British Farthings

[azda 973]

I had an email arrive about some unsold lots they had for 30% under the estimate, underneath they had a link to some British farthings they were selling on the bay, 1844 Geo I etc.

I'm sure it will interest some of our members or upset them lol

Judging from his BIN pricing (usually 2-3 times value) he will not be letting that 1844 go for anything near the current price. It is a nice coin though!

OK, what do all think a fair price for this 1844 - 500-600 USD maybe?

A 2013 Londoncoins EF graded sold for £460 or $773

Surprised they have only graded it VF, it looks a tad better to me!

Exactly, the LC one i just quoted looks worse than the ebay one

The coin is EF...seldom do you see that coin with as good hair definition as it has on the obverse...which is a used sov. die! I think the valuation would be 550-700 someplace. The coin has some circulation marks, and some small stains on the reverse, but is still a rare coin in that condition. IMHO...Ha,Ha

Britannians hand has some wear though

Are you at risk of confusing rarity and grade Bob? Perish the thought!

Probably...but maybe not! LOL!...

Nice strike to be sure but quite a few contact marks and a rim hit on reverse of some note...

BTW, closed at 425 USD..

I had been watching a few of these, but got sidetracked with some DIY at the weekend, so completely forgot about them......

That 1844 was definitely better than VF but a few knocks and bumps.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds eBay increasingly relegated to the back burner.

At £260ish there's still a bit of mileage in it for somebody.
