KINGS & QUEENS OF ENGLAND SILVER MEDALLIONS - South African

[Tainbooks 0]

I'm trying ro find out a vlauation for a set of Kings and Queens of England Silver medallion Collection of 50 coins (not the more usual 43) that were issued by the South African c 1985;

I've contacted the South African Min and the South African Historical mint without any luck.

I have uncovered loads of valuations for a 43 medallion set, but absolutely none that mention a 50 medallions set.

The series runs from Edward the Martyr to Elizabeth II.

If someone can point me in the right direction that would be hugely helpful

If they are silver, then bullion content will set a base value. I would think that if you can't find any reference to a 50 piece set, yet can find a 43 piece set, then the larger one might be a 'less than official' product which in monetary terms usually means something closer to melt value.

As Rob said...bullion value only.

What about locating a jeweller or an antiques dealer who is willing to trade or value the items for you? Sometimes government bodies like the mint may not have the proper eye or experience it takes to look at silver pieces and other coins for that matter when they come from more rare places.

I know Lawrence Chard used to stock silver medals and Bob Ilsley of Dolphin (now Three Counties Coins) some South African coins etc. Might be worth contacting either of them?

However, my guess is that however much the medallions were marketed or sold for originally, if you can't find much evidence of demand for such a set then close to bullion would be a reasonable starting point. You don't say if you're looking to buy or sell, but if the latter maybe add on a bit to the BV for the fact its a set and no doubt looks nice and see what interest you get?

As it says on Chard's website: The secondary (secondhand) market prices for silver medallions is usually quite competitively priced, and for connoisseurs of medallic or numismatic art, previously owned medallion sets often represent a bargain especially compared with the original new prices.

In other words, these things cost a fortune when issued with promises of 'investment potential' but when it comes to selling they don't realise anything like as much.

In other words - don't believe the bullshit

Really sorry about that. My spelling isn't all that good. I put my comments into a word processor before copying and pasting over if not my comments come out looking like gibberish! But again, why not look over the internet for other traces of this particular set and see what the results turn up for the stuff?

Gosh, nothing to be sorry about! I was just wondering whether is was a bot or program that was spamming the site...if that's the correct terminology?

Anyway, welcome aboard!
