Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 7:14 pm Those brockages are stunning. I've always wanted one but never seen one for sale. I don't know whether I could afford it, if I did see one for sale. What percentage over market value of the ordinary coin would a full brockage cost ? Report this Post to the Staff
BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 12/14/2013 7:32 pm I honestly do not know the current value of these brockages. Can anyone help? Bill Report this Post to the Staff
bjorn New Member United Kingdom 24 Posts	Posted 12/22/2013 07:37 am Very nice pieces, especially the Napoleon and Louis XVIII. These usually go for around 500 - 1000 euros in French auctions (from what I have seen). I suspect the first two brockages would be towards the higher end, as might the fourth.

BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 12/22/2013 11:06 am Hi gxseries - Regarding the gold 20 franc brockage, it looks to me like Clark Smith's price is about right. It is a super scarce piece! (I've had some experience with gold 10 franc brockages but never a 20 franc). and Hi bjorn, These usually go for around 500 - 1000 euros in French auctions (from what I have seen). I suspect the first two brockages would be towards the higher end, as might the fourth. Thanks for writing. I had thought that 4000 euros for the set of 5 might be reasonable. Your assessment seems to agree. Bill Report this Post to the Staff
darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2426 Posts	Posted 01/20/2014 07:24 am Very nice Brockages Bill! Do you collect reverse brockages as well? If so please post. Report this Post to the Staff
BillSnyder Pillar of the Community 778 Posts	Posted 01/20/2014 07:56 am Hi Darryl, I do collect reverse brockages. For most countries, they are the 'tough' ones. Please see the 2 shillings at https://goccf.com/t/153984&whichpag...rockage+pair and the 2 (English and Austrian) Brockage Pair shown at https://goccf.com/t/153851&SearchTe...rockage+pair Bill Edited by BillSnyder 01/20/2014 08:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
