Does this seem to be a good price to you all .. I have always loved the British Coinage with Queen Vic. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16912 Posts	Posted 12/30/2006 06:19 am Maybe a little steep to me. The latest Guide down here puts an Aussie-minted shield sov at AU$275 in Fine, AU$325 in VF, and the old 19th century Krause puts Australian ones either the same or a little cheaper than their British counterparts the same date. There's US$150 worth of gold in a sovereign at the moment, and the same dealer's got King George V sovs selling for US$165 - not too much of a premium. For post-1848 coins, I don't think there should be that much of a difference - nearly twice the price. Depends on condition, of course. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

It is a blind way to buy gold - you might get a poor looking copy. Report this Post to the Staff
