1918 KN Penny WOW!

Recommended Posts

Hi all. I have been watching a 1918 KN penny on the Bay which just sold for £1320. It was graded as GEF/BU. A very nice coin but havn't got that sort of cash. What do you think and would you? Cheers all.

I mentioned this sale in another post elsewhere. I was prepared to go to £1k, but not above. Especially as I couldn't see it in the hand first and the seller admitted slight scuffing despite the lustre. I'm still in the market for a full lustre upgrade on mine.

If I had that cash to spare, I would. That's one of the best obverses I've seen for it. Nevermind that the 18KN is very much commoner than the 19KN, it's still a beaut. I'd give it houseroom!!

Now you're making me wish I'd gone higher. I've missed out on several coins that I'd really hoped to acquire in the last week and have that frustrating serial underbidder feeling!

All of the 1918-1919 H & KN in well struck and lustred form are undervalued IMO.

The 1918H with well struck obv. and rev. might be worth nearly this price as we generally

see those mushy bits....

You could always go for this one only £700

The seller is right, "G-BU" is indeed a "very scarce condition".

i had a punt at this one, when it got to £1200 i decided not to go any further because i couldn't see the coin first before buying and the description put me off going higher...........
