Just made a Top Pop (Ceylon)

JCMhouston

Trying to fill up a submission a couple of weks ago ATS I threw in a 1957 Ceylon Proof Rupee (2500 Years of Buddhism). Grade just came in this morning as PF67 (pop 1/0) which makes it worth about $3.50 now instead of $3, the only other one that someone was foolish enough (like me) to submit is a PF65.

Other grades for British were:
1817 Shilling MS63 - expected 62-63
1901 1/2 D MS63 RB - expected 63-64 RB
1887 Double Florin Roman I MS64 - expected 63
1885 Shilling BB planchet flaw - expected 63

Shame on the Young Head shilling, but I'll just resubmit one day, the flaw shouldn't have been bad enought to BB in my mind. The only images I have are the 1901 1/2




The 1817 Shilling (purchased from a board member):

Nice grades, I'll give you $4 for the 1957 Ceylon PM me

the boz, you are a true gentleman, but I think I'll sit on it and see what it gets up to in the next few years. You never know, the collector base might double from 3 to 6 people and drive the price right up.

The way they keep whuppin up on the Buddhist population around the world, there may be fewer sooner.

Now you gotta find a "registry set" collector willing to part with a year's salary for the Rupee. Congrats on a successful submission (every submission has at least one BB)!
