Would you put its value around £60 ?

[Paulus 1,975]

More like £30-£40 (based on my opinion of the grade). They are easy to find in EF and better ...

Others may contradict me / have a different opinion! I just checked on eBay - there are 26 for sale right now at various grades, and with extreme variation in price/seller's grades!

Never a mistake, but a 'learning experience'. And you would always get most of the money back 'on the Bay', but anyway its a nice looking coin, why worry? It is so difficult to tell from photos, may look great in the hand.

Like that lovely Gothic Crown of yours; there is clearly very little expert agreement on this forum with the thoughts of one individual at CGS. Don't be disheartened! Not like the two and a half grand I spent repairing the daughters car last summer, only for her to sell it for £600 two weeks later because she 'didn't trust it'! AARGH........

Still, at least I've married her off now!

If the eye has wear it would be in the GVF range, as there appears to be no wear on the eye I would say at least EF and £60 is ok for it.

There is no wear on Georgies eye so it would be a minimum EF, it's the first point of wear

[SWANNY 25]

How about this one......

[azda 979]

How about this one......

Fine maybe less

[Paulus 1,975]

Fine maybe better for me!

[copper123 1,486]

lots of wear on obverse

[1949threepence 3,367]

I'd agree with GVF/NEF for the first and plain Fine for the second.

[jacinbox 36]

VF

[pokal02 44]

NEF and Fine respectively for me.

[copper123 1,486]

NVF /GVF

unless Copper was giving obv/rev grades for the 2nd coin only I'd be surprised if anyone graded the 1st at only NVF ...

I was hoping the second coin to get F+ , but its all about personal likes and the size of the wallet

How much would the second coins price be if in a VF grade ? , I want one.....

[Paulus 1,975]

This is mine. Purchased from a forum member over 3 years ago for £275, and graded by the seller and by CGS as NVF

Prices haven't moved much for this grade, so I suggest £300-£350 for VF?

Do run it by the forum if you find one that takes your fancy (there's plenty about )
