bobo13 Valued Member Bulgaria 474 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 1:38 pm Hi all! Today received this coin from seller from my country who asked 100 Euro for the coin - still not paid by me. I am sure it is not MS (maybe55-58), but I think it's wide date variety. What do you think about the seller price - 100 euro is approx. AU$137 - it is good price for the coin? It is scarce for this variety high grade or not so? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 11/05/2014 2:12 pm I am unaware of the wide date variety, But then again I am not a penny expert and will await Neil's opinion. AU55-58 looks about right to me. With a mintage of 12,947,040, This is the highest mintage of an Australian King George Penny with a value of $30- $70 Report this Post to the Staff
nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 7:13 pm Yes, it is a wide date. I paid 44 Euro (plus another 5 Euro postage) for a similar wide date 6 weeks ago ( ebay item 321358723636). Your coin is a bit nicer so 100 Euro is not that excessive. The value that Trout posted is for the standard date. The wide dates are only about 3% of the total mintage so they do command a modest premium as variety collectors will bid the price up.

stevo1962 Pillar of the Community Australia 908 Posts	Posted 11/06/2014 8:29 pm Also wondering if this is a wide date as well Edited by stevo1962 11/06/2014 8:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 11/07/2014 11:08 am No and no. Both look like normal date CBLs, the wide dates are all FBLs (flat based lettering, not curved). There is a PCGS AU58 wide date currently for sale ($150). ebay item 111507379553. Cheap for a wide date and a nice bold reverse die crack. I would have purchased but it has a bit of green on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
