It sold for $18,500 when it was sold at Goldbergs in 2016.

Keep in mind that we are evaluating the grade of both coins based on an image and not an in hand review. Tilting these coins and giving them both a worthy look in hand may lead one to a different conclusion. While I tend to agree that the second coin looks better in the battle of the images, it may have a different appearance not captured that explains a 62 grade. The take away is to see coins in hand prior to bidding or buying. Obviously and unfortunately, that is often not possible.

Unless its the same piece, there was another specimen being batted about a couple of years ago...I seem to recall it having a bit more marking on it. I love the 6d series but this coin unreachable for those of us on an ordinary budget....

hi...just got back from a few days at centre parcs to find my first order of coins from predecimal waiting for me.....just a few pennies and halfpennies that i either needed or to upgrade....all very nice of course and fast service too thankyou.....i've now ordered a coupla loupes too.... seemed sensible to get a few coins mainly so i can see how you experts grade and i can now use these as benchmarks to scrutinise and learn from...just thought i'd post this up for any similar newbies.... and i need to start looking for any coin fairs in the area next....nearly got my full run of bronze/copper pennies now (not including the rare as hell ones obviously) and am finding myself spending more and more with each coin i buy....i'm skint!!!!!! lol prep
