Peckris Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Has anyone got a copy. If so could you please let me know the price of a GV 1918KN in UNC please?MarkThe price of a 1918KN (or any such scarcity) is not really relevant, especially as you seem to have plucked a single price guide 'out of the air' so to speak. A coin like that will go for whatever someone is prepared to pay for it, and if that someone has deep pockets then what it says in price guides can be safely ignored. Yet on a different occasion, the same coin may go for half the amount as on the first. Your strategy - if bidding - is to bid up to the maximum you are prepared to pay for it, and to hell with the price guides. Quote
sound Posted November 26, 2014 Author Posted November 26, 2014 Wrong Guys I'm a seller. Just put an outstanding coin up. Just trying to pitch it right Token was £2000 last year..M Quote

damian1986 Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Will be interesting to see how the London Coins one does. I believe it's the same coin that went for $1500 in Stacks Bowers earlier this year. Quote
damian1986 Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Well Mark looks like a nice one I would like something that was minted at King's Norton and I do need an original effigy George V penny How did you get rid of the ghosting and the mushy obverse? http://www.jncoins.co.uk/JNC/en/bronze-and-copper/265-george-v-bronze-penny-1926.html (The URL slug has 1926 in it but is for the 1918 coin) Edited November 26, 2014 by damian1986 Quote

I believe it's the same coin that went for $1500 in Stacks Bowers earlier this year.Based on 20% commission that runs at around £1150, so someone i's hoping for a quick large profit. It will be interesting to see where it lands, whats LCs selling commission? Quote

What lot number is it in LCs? Edited November 26, 2014 by azda Quote

Think Token are a little high. This one deserves a premium with a reverse like that.Mark Quote

What lot number is it in LCs?2994. Estimate is 900 to 1200. See when you factor all that in do you still think they're trying to turn it around quickly? The Stacks auction was actually only August assuming it is the same coin. Quote
