1935 Crown Pick Up........nice Grade

I live in the North West now....so don't get to London very often....sent the coin to NGC with nine others.....

Point taken.........was dumb purchase and dumb submission........

Sorry Marbury, the news isn't good - unusual 1 off issues get kept aside, so many uncirculated examples are around. Catalogue value is £20 UNC (read, MS) which is what you'd pay a dealer for it, so its still £15. However, you are probably owner of the only one to ever be slabbed and that does add value. You also stand a good chance of hooking some suckers from the American market who likely wont recognise the type but will recognise the number (A lot of people will also take the slab to mean that the type is rare or often faked). I bet the population in this grade is 1 across all TPGs - such numbers could do you well.

Ben, with perhaps the exception of the UK, the crown size is one of the most collected worldwide. People love big hunks of silver and I'd be amazed if this coin was in a population of anything less than 100.
That said, nice as it is; it's not super rare. I can't see this recovering the cost of slabbing in the foreseeable future.

I will not make a big profit on this.....but I will recover the cost of the coin which I overpaid for and the slab cost as it was send in a large batch of other world coins too. So my view is I got lucky after making an error buying the things in the first place.

I was never under the impression it was rare at all.......it was only that the grate was high and that I had not see one in that condition.......my only error was that I bought it without doing my research on price.

Just sold for $92.99 plus $12.00 shipping........pillar of the community saying it's a £15 coin.......err I think not.....
