Tcnc Auction Results For Victorian And King Edward 50 Cents

Agreed, it has been hard to find some of those at prices I want to pay.

There were a few head scratchers in the 4th session

1944 1 cent PCGS MS64 red - $85
1946 1 cent PCGS MS65 red - $327
1947 1 cent PCGS MS64 red - $85
1947 1 cent ML PCGS MS 65 red - $110
1953 1 cent SF PCGS MS 64 red - $285

I am guessing someone was working towards a registry set?

I was happy to finally get a 1930 1 cent MS63RB for $190, It has been on my upgrade list for a long time.

The George V small cents in the TCNC auction did very well across the board. The higher priced items all sold well. Purely Wasted, I agree that 1946 in particular was a head scratcher. That being said, the PCGS 1946 population in 65 Red is only 4 and getting a coin into such a holder is not easy. I have submitted two that failed.

Just to answer Canada67, I think the upsurge in bullion is moving up values of common date/grade halves. With 0.3 ox of silver equivalent, the bullion value is almost C$10. No doubt lots of low grade coins will get melted or bought by bullion hoarders. Numismatic value will not matter for a George VI or Elizabeth half other than key date/varieties or high MS coins. I recently sold over 100 silver dollars to a bullion hoarder......coins I had accumulated from collector bulk buys. I suspect they will never return to the numismatic market.

Thanks for putting it in the auction colonialtokens, it found a happy home. I have found it to be a tough to track down without going into the $400+ price point. Just a few more cents to go to complete an MS penny collection.
