    That Lavrillier bit is NOT Royal Mint and I can not for the life of me see the prices it has fetched. I see some other stuff I like in the sale however...

    Recognition and Pedigree.

    P2284 + Fr786 + Bertram Mackennal + Norweb = $$$$$ image


    Still awaiting the images (poor quality that they'll most likely be) - maybe tonight.


    I wish I could spring for that 1883 POR Florin. imageimageimage

    Understood, but remember Jackie Kennedy's junk - sold for money because of that, but still junk....

    Looks rude and crude, maybe because it is.

    Was that a proof florin Mac, and an ex- Spink??

    Also what did the 1856 ms 66 florin sell for last time - flipper it looks to be?

    Looks like many of those 30's era VIP proof did not sell (in Goldberg as I recall).

    Recognition and pedigree do not always guarantee a coin will do well. In fact, I believe that Colin Adams, who is now part of that pedigree, once wrote that he lost a significant amount in his own sale of this particular coin.

    So how did this Lavrillier penny come to exist?

    It's a pattern. Why it came to exist I do not know. It is not one of the "seven."

    The design of the obverse, a "military" appearance as described by Collector Coins, does not appeal to me.

    Lavrillier pattern just looks crude, not even as good as those bits for sale on ebay - you know, the 1937 and 1952 modern "redoes". At least they are cheaper.

    I think it begs the issue of private issues in the English series - the Moores, Weyls, etc. which I just can not fathom and have kept off with a ten foot pole except for one time mistaking a silver Moore based on the description.

    Well, more power to the buyer of this one!
