Old 1933 Penny Article

[Accumulator 52]

This cutting from the Daily Mail in 1972 is preserved between the pages of my copy of Peck. £3,000... those were the days!

So what happened to the one that was, according to the article, nicked from Leeds? Has it turned up since or is it squirrelled away in a collection only to come to light when the owner dies?

I'd bet, the latter. Nearly 40 years ago now. Even so, the "owner" may still be going strong. For all we know he might have only been 18 or so at the time

They suggested £3000 in the article ~ does anybody know what it did for for at auction ?

[£400 for a Penny ? 0]

Interesting if and when it does come on the market.

The provenance is....It was nicked 40 years ago.

His estate will surely have to give it back ?

Don't declare it like the rest of the estates collection.

£7000 hammer, but lot 275 was made up of the penny plus a proof set 1/4d - 2/6d and so no price is available for the penny as a stand alone item.

OK, thanks Rob.

I suppose it would be possible to roughly estimate by gauging what the proof set would have gone for on its own.

Not so easy. There aren't any other KGV proof sets in the the catalogues immediately before or after this sale which matters because prices were on a substantial bull run in the 70s. Proof sets only come up every year or two even today and then you have to take into consideration things such as the 1934 which has no florin and the wildly different prices for sets with or without a crown.
