Downie Auction 311 Catalogues Is Now To Download

they are robbing us, so like me, just look at it, not going to buy, unless I sold some of my whoops purchse, LOL

Aww I had a look and session 4 is missing, I was only interested in pre decimals now I can't see if they have any threepences.
I did see that had a few $1 VC

Found the threepences thankyou :)

Also, I just realised that there is another one of the 2009 $2 double strikes listed as:
Item: 612 Desc: Two Dollars 2009 struck 40% off centre, aUnc Est:$200.00


Item: 1271 Desc: Penny 1937 weight 9.46gms, cleaned gFine and an interesting fabrication Est:$350.00


They're pretty much the only two things that interest me & I already have both anyway.

Does anyone think lot 1224 (the front cover of the catalogue) is actually the coin the person found here?

Enworb, it's hard to say about the double strike. When they were first found they were going for around $2,000! Then more & more were discoved. More recently I know that on ebay one sold for $390. Whoever brought that one got an absolute bargain. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...p=true&rt=nc
I paid $550 for mine. So it's really hard to say. At a Downies auction, I'd expect $800ish?

Markn & purplepenny have one each too.

Dcoin: I don't think it's the same coin, because the one in that forum has a spot behind the neck of the emu. A dot under & near the 19[b]3[b/]3. Open both next to each other, there are some things which definitely show differences between the two.

The first double struck two dollar that appeared on the market was at Downies Auction 303 and it realised $1550. This was a 2008 coin and to date is the highest price fetched for a recent double struck $2. Another 4 double struck $2 coins appeared in the next few months and PP and I bought 3 of these all for well under $1000. The highest price one got in this time was in a mail order catalogue (MRR Roberts) and that was a touch over $1k. In November 2010 another one sold in a Downies auction for $1.2k. None has realised over $2k and most on ebay have been going for $600 or less.

I tracked the prices of all these double struck coins for about 18 months and PP and I wrote an article about them back in August 2010. I stopped watching them because they are appearing with regularity now. They are being fed to Padstow Coin Centre by a security company employee.

Its good youve managed to stay focused ADIMSLE. My collection started strictly with pennies and half pennies but since joining CCF its ballooned outwards out. control.
