I suspect that there are around 50-100 examples. I stopped recording them coming to market several years ago.

I have four, the best being aef sold as F6 at Lockdales a few years ago (£180).

If there are 50 examples, it still makes it much rarer than a 1930 Australian one penny, look what they sell for!

That sounds like quite a steal Jerry!

Like you I have had 4, none were advertised as F763, from the days when the type was often missed...........one was in a Group sold by DNW (as was). 

I have sold all mine on to pay for other purchases.

I see the 1952 proof penny has popped up for auction in the Auction World sale on 13th/24th July. 

Starting at 5,000,000 Yen...

I believe it went to £60,000 and doubt very much it sold 😀,another example of starting auctions at ridiculous low prices and wasting everyones time.

The link below is to a penny in the imminent Stacks-Bowers auction. It has been slabbed as Proof (with no Peck number) but I have pored through the various obverse and reverse designs of the recorded proof pennies and I believe it to be just a nicely struck currency 10 leaves variety.

However, bidding has already reached $5000.

I think it is only $500 - still seems a lot!

It’s an absolutely beautiful thing, though, gorgeous photography.

I see it sold for $780 - I don't know whether that includes commission but still a lot for a circulation coin.

And here's another:

which sold for $600.

It appears to me that the 3rd party graders are being lax in their work !

780 includes juice, but not shipping /insurance, or tax (which varies by state/city). The shipping fee alone is likely 20-35, and tax may add on an additional 5 to 10% (or none, in some areas). Getting close to 820-900, depending where one lives.  Bit spicy.

Why don't graders include the Peck or Freeman numbers ?

I suspect this has been asked before.

The main reason is and may be wrong is that they don’t know them , although will do but an extra charge.Problem with the only two big graders is they have done over 150 million coins worldwide of just about every denomination known and nobody knows everything about them all.I used to send quite a few to ngc some I had the Freeman number on but only occasionally as not cost effective intending to sell them in the near future and only had varieties done in high grade.

I have heard rumors but will want to see just what is on sale. I was really hoping there would be a 1919H nicer than that in the Part II Sale but think there is not....
