Coin appears to meet grade; nice color.

Anyone have an idea of what a fair price would be for it?

Not trying to sell it; considering a bid.

Regards and thanks

    Any cameo?

    From the photo there appears to be some cameo; maybe not deep cam, but obvious.

    Color is gorgeous....

    I would make an un-educated guess and say $150.00.

    They go on ebay for $12-15 raw, which is about all you would need to pay a dealer. Don't forget these all came from broken sets so have seen no circulation.

    Well a PR64CA would be about $30 and a PR64 about $15 so they're not really worth slabbing at that grade however a 66CA would be a better than average example of the type and command some premium.

    I wouldn't buy an already slabbed '53 proof (unless it was dirt cheap - even a 66). Sets and individual pieces are still pretty easy to find and are pretty affordable.

    I don't mind slabbing coins or buying slabbed coins like,say 1869 halfpennies, or even 1903 sixpences, but this angle doesn't make much sense to me.

    Yep, they're pretty cheap all right, and plenty of them out there.

    I'm figuring it will be a challenge, though, to put together a high grade,
    nice color toned set.

    I have a particular interest in doing it since I spent a couple of years in the UK
    in the early 50's and stood with the crowds watching Elizabeth's coronation.

    We have a very special grand daughter that I'm going to enjoy putting a nice
    set together for.

    Maybe it will be worth something when she reaches my age image

    I am not the expert on the Elizabeth UK coinage- To pay decent money, I think some type of cameo designation is needed-

    If no cameo, I think I would agree with Wybrit

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I think I stumbled across the coin you are referring to. Looks nice, but I'm sure you can do better for much less money.

    I think I'm going to mess with it Bill.

    If you run into any nice Elizabeth 11 proof shillings I'd appreciate the tip.

    Best...

    Incidentally if you're looking at the same coin; I put an offer out at about 1/3 rd the asking price.

    The offer expired without a response....image
