So, has an otherwise common-date (1853), virtually perfect tanner risen to $1,800 in value?

    I have to admit, it wasn't me. I find it interesting the seller took $2000 less than the BIN price of $3800.

    that is still far more than i would have paid for it. Although, the buyer probably thought he got a steal talking the seller down $2k

    I was working on the guy for "grins". He told me he had a higher offer.....yeah, it was WAY HIGHER!!!! image


    I'd rather have a string of solid MS67s at 1/3 this price.


    Also note, the seller said ALL SALES FINAL. OOPS, sorry but I buy coins, not plastique. image

    Huh...not my intent to badmouth this seller, but isn't that a pretty low feedback rating?
    I never pay too much for my tokens...but every now and then I may buy them too soon.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Yes, that could be a possibility. image

    I'm not saying it's a crazy price, but it's nice to see qualified prices paid for the seldom seen top-tier Victorian coins, especially the smaller ones since I'm kinda top-heavy on those at the present. image


    Anyway, this one was almost as dear.

    Actually, I believe he has just 1 neg. on a fractional bullion coin. Looks like the buyer had remorse "after gold fell".

    No, my Great-great-great grandfather bought it directly from the Royal Mint for a halfcrown. But, that included a nice felt-lined wooden box. image

    I seem to recall a Goldberg 1854 sixpence in undergraded MS 63 that sold for 1400. How would this coin EVER rate in comparison?

    Well, the 1854 is the key date, and quoted at 6-8x the value of the more common 6ds. in average unc.

    Was that the Cheshire 1854 sixpence? My cats. of that sale are on loan, but I did specifically grade that coin irrespective of the NGC grade, but my aging memory fails me (this is your opening, WB) at the moment. image

    Found my notes on that 1854 6d.: The 1854 in particular has a superb obv., but the reverse does have the ancient scratches, but they are toned over somewhat...overall image on the 1854.

    I felt it was a nice 64 coin overall. Also, the total price was $2,760. It was graded NGC MS63.

    Ah, yes, it was the Cheshire coin - are you sure that was not the price of the 1854 shilling? The 6d was nicest I have ever seen of that date.

    Yep, 6d. Here it is. The lines from the rim to chin and the back of the neck are on the plastic. The image, as shown, is somewhat lighter than the actual coin, in hand. But yes, the obverse was a full gem.

    Yes, interesting and a wonderful coin that. I wonder how the market is going to do with these "middling" rarities as demand seems a bit thin in that great prices are brought for the major rarities and some activity in the modest coins, but I am watching to see how coins such as this fare in the upcoming months.

    I do wonder about the price on this MS68 1853, and WHO it went to?!
