mashisback Valued Member United Kingdom 287 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 2:06 pm I'm thinking NVF at about £200? Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 6:57 pm I find it a little difficult to see the detail due to light on the highest points. I think the obverse is at least GVF, and the reverse is at least almost EF. An EF specimen sold for £460 last September, see http://www.mcsearch.info/record.html?id=1097999 though the head in this image doesn't look EF to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 02/08/2014 07:45 am There are a number of forgeries of the 1932 crown. What's its weight and diameter, please ? Report this Post to the Staff

Oh, I agree. However, in the UK at least, the trend over the last few years seems to have been away from rarity and towards quality. Whereas 40 or 50 years ago such a coin would likely have sold easily, nowadays people seem to want minimal circulation. The problem is of course, what do you do when you want an example but don't have the budget? Leave a gap? Or compromise on grade? Only the collector themselves can make this decision of course.

satxwd Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 02/12/2014 1:42 pm Coins like these may have limited collector appeal, but they should be much more desirable. Proofs at this time were still low mintage and some were used as presentation pieces for heads of state, etc. Sure, people did collect coins, but many had to circulate them out of necessity because times were hard on everyone. A coin like this, even in circulated grade, is still a nice addition to any collection. We all agree on this I think. I'd buy a coin like this if it was at the right price. Again, good find!
