I was mostly tracking George VI 25 cents in MS-65 (and bidding on a few).
I found the following results:
Year Trends Hammer + Buyer's Premium
1939 450 266
1942 400 307
1943 400 307
1944 450 531
1945 400 472
1946 450 330
1947 1200 855
1947ML 300 212
1948 600 384
1949 600 354
1950 400 354
1951HR 400 295
1952LR 500 413
1952HR 600 472
Having not been able to view items personally, cannot tell if the over-Trends items had vastly superior eye appeal.
