Hello all, I won the following on a game stream, which normally isn't my bag but it sounded fun so I had to try it and was lucky. I know little to nothing about world coinage for the record.

After doing a bit of research I've discovered there is no numista page or GS for a 1929. NGC has no price guide for it. All I've really found out is that it was part of a two year design in 1929 and 1930, and it's possibly a key date with 3k? mintage. Gold melt is a hair over $1100. There are a handful of ebay listings for 1922's but really no recent comps I can find for a 1929 in 63. What do you think I have here? Opinions appreciated. (Sorry for low quality photos, I don't have it in hand yet)

Thank you &🙏;; Any idea what it should retail at? I'm just curious, I really like it and I'm on the fence about selling.

NGC confirms the 3000 mintage, and lists a price of $1147 in XF40 and MS60.

The Numista listing is here: https://en.numista.com/141407
The algorithm for converting the AH dates to Gregorian dates is giving 1348 - 1930 even though the coin shows it as 1348 - 1929.

Last auction sale I could find for this coin in MS63 (PCGS):
https://coins.ha.com/itm/egypt/egyp...ption-071515
Hammer price $1050 (150% over melt at the time) + $210 commission.

Here is a more recent sale of a PCGS graded MS62:
https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...a3be5c202760
Hammer price $1400 (about 25% over melt)

Small sample size, but it looks like the gold bubble has compressed the premium above melt for this type. Probably worth $1500 or so?

Thank you both for all the research &🙏;; greatly appreciated. I was hitting a wall with this one, I'll have to remember to check heritage from now on as well.
