spinaker2000 · November 13, 2005 10:07AM

WOW!!!!

coinpictures · November 13, 2005 10:29AM

Wowsers.

Guesses on how high it goes?

JadeRareCoin · November 13, 2005 10:32AM

Beautiful! Nice pictures, too.

SYRACUSIAN · November 13, 2005 12:04PM

That's a set that could easily send me back to British collecting again. Besides, spinaker, wybrit, etc have all these already.

Maybe it's an auction to celebrate his 3000th feedback. So how much do our experts think is the estimate?

SYRACUSIAN · November 14, 2005 6:58AM

Anybody with an estimate? Already near 1000 GBP, reserve not met.

I made a wallpaper out of it.

spinaker2000 · November 14, 2005 7:12AM

I haven't had time to add up all the Spinks prices yet, but I don't expect the reserve to be reached. After all, this is LLoyd we are talking about, and his primo coppers don't go cheap. I would love to have that set.

mercurynut · November 14, 2005 7:22AM

I hope you all chip in and get me this set for Christmas!

SYRACUSIAN · November 14, 2005 7:24AM

I gave it a shot with my old 2003, but what about the Freeman varieties and the unlisted ones, such as the (unheard of) inverted one? There's the trick about this set's price.

I tend to disagree with spinaker, this amazing set will soon be sold, on or off ebay, it's too good to be true.But yes, at Lloyd's conditions.

Stunning photography and presentation too.

ajaan · November 14, 2005 8:10AM

I think it will close at £1575. Whether the reserve is met or not, I can't say.

MacCrimmon · November 14, 2005 8:34AM

Some Swiss guy is bidding £1125.

drjules · November 14, 2005 8:39AM

I just noticed you get free shipping and insurance

Yeah, I saved off the auction images as well... Great reference shots.

That obviously can't be a poor wee church mouse.

wybrit · November 14, 2005 10:21AM

They're talking about it over at predecimal.com as well.

docday2003 · November 14, 2005 10:11PM

so what is the set really worth?

spinaker2000 · November 16, 2005 6:38AM

Up to $3500, reserve not met yet.

SYRACUSIAN · November 16, 2005 7:10AM

I'm the current underbidder. My 2003 Spink lists the total @ around 1500 GBP, I figured a 2100 bid would be enough to cover the increases in price and the unlisted varieties.

But like spinaker said, we're dealing with madman Lloyd here, he won't even reveal his reserve to me, a Darksider after all. No big deal.

MacCrimmon · November 16, 2005 8:14AM

Well, the 2006 Spink tallies to exactly £1567 for the 74 listed issues for Red, Full Lustre Uncs. As to the Freeman pieces and the error coins??? I plead no knowledge as to their worth.

I do like that 1966 wrong flan error, but the Freeman minutia doesn't interest. I'd say 25-30 or so would be worth cherry-picking.

drjules · November 16, 2005 9:08AM

For academic interest only - is there are profit to be made by buying this set and selling the pieces individually or is the real value in the completeness?

Dr J

spinaker2000 · November 16, 2005 9:11AM

There would have been about $1000 ago!!

wybrit · November 16, 2005 10:11AM

At that price, if you're only after a handful of the dates you end up selling the balance of the pieces at big loss. Most of the dates within 1902-1970 aren't really that expensive individually.

I recalculated with my 2003, and the total for the 74 listed coins comes up to £ 1216.75,not ~1500 as I initially posted.

10 Eddie VII (@ £325), 27 George V (@ £745) ,19 George V and 18 Elizabeth II. A 28.78% increase in three years. I believe the average halfpenny collector could live without the extra 10 coins, all post 1940 varieties and errors and therefore could assemble this set with patience for less than the current price, let alone the reserve.

drjules · November 17, 2005 12:48AM

Reserve still not met!

Dr J

ajaan · November 17, 2005 1:03AM

I don't see a 1958 1/2d in Proof.

spinaker2000 · November 17, 2005 1:12AM

Now a VIP proof set would be cool Don!!

ajaan · November 17, 2005 1:15AM

I used to have 2 VIP proof 1958s but I must have misplaced one of them, I can't seem to find it.

spinaker2000 · November 17, 2005 1:31AM

ajaan · November 17, 2005 1:33AM

You know where it is???? I miss it very badly.

MacCrimmon · November 17, 2005 1:51AM

No VIPs for 55, 56, or 57 either.

ajaan · November 17, 2005 2:38AM

<< No VIPs for 55, 56, or 57 either. >>

That does it. I'm not bidding now.

ccrdragon · November 17, 2005 2:48AM

w/o the vips and the varieties, the set is very do-able in the $400-$500 range. even with a couple of the varieties, it's still less than a $500 set.

don't know about your set, Terri, but my set of ships (1937-1967) with some duplicates and a couple of the varieties (the '56 on a bead and the '57 calm sea) still has less than $300 in it.

spinaker2000 · November 17, 2005 7:03AM

Cecil, I would say about $200ish on my '37-'67 set. Lots of cheapies there.

rhound1977 · November 17, 2005 7:14AM

<< You know where it is???? I miss it very badly.

I think I have seen it recently

spinaker2000 · November 17, 2005 7:16AM
