Though it should be noted that I have seen a lot that have been cleaned or have other streaks and scratches on them. This one looks like a decent proof-like though. Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 10/04/2009 12:22 am WpgLwr- Really, only $10 on average? Interesting since they are listed in Krause for about $25, right? Report this Post to the Staff
WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 10/04/2009 01:01 am Yeah, the vast majority of them I've seen go for around $10, and sometimes as low as $8. I have seen the ones with original box of issue go for $25. Report this Post to the Staff

molydeii Pillar of the Community Turkey 870 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 5:09 pm Hi there, I bought two in boxes, one little red and another little green, paid $10 US back a year ago, from ebay of course, and the seller was in Belgium. This is one of my most favourite cupro nickel British coins. Report this Post to the Staff
