sound Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 A little surprised to see Spink values this at £ 200 in uncirculated, the regular 1838 at £180.00. Would have thought the sideways 8 much scarcer. Any thoughts?Mark Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 CCGB2014 says £300 BU, and that one certainly looks a lovely grade. Quote
sound Posted July 3, 2014 Author Posted July 3, 2014 Chris,Thanks for that. Must be rare for CCGB to price higher than Spink. Smile (I'm on my I pad)I think you are nearer the mark.This one is as good as it looks with nearly full lustre.RegardsMark Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Cleaned in the past, as it looks very bright? But not that it really matters that much for a peach like that. Quote

Any thoughts?Markimage.jpgSpink don't have a clue on some things. The 1921 shilling with the first obverse, is much rarer than the price differential with the normal type listed in the Standard Catalogue. Quote
Garrett Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 It might be a good idea to check out what they have been selling for at auctions (if you've not already done so).cheersGarrett. Quote

VickySilver Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I seem to recall there being some on a regular basis on the older SNC. Hate to use the word cleaned in this case - dipped possibly more likely IMHO. Quote
Coinery Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Definitely not cleaned, at least not in the traditional sense! However, it must have had a very, VERY, minor/sensitive dip...though it will take on a very nice patina over the next few years...not that I'd personally be afraid of zipping it up in a flip and living happily with it 'as is'! Still a nice lot of lustre going on on this coin! Quote

In all my search through dealer trays etc, I never saw another one. I do remember meeting Paul Wincott in Warwick years ago, who triumphantly showed me 3 BU examples - he'd just bought them privately, paying £60 apiece which was over the then Spink book price, claiming he could get £200 each for them without any difficulty. 1 Quote
