Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 02/04/2010 10:46 pm Duhbail- WOW! That is a nice-looking coin. That is the single wagon shaft variety of this coin (KM# 8.1), which is quite a rare coin considering that it only had a mintage of 14,000. MY Krause states that in EF-40 it is worth #50, and that in Unc it is worth $850. Since your coin is right between those grades, and considering the fact that this coin has very nice eye-appeal and is certified, I would say between $600 and $700 Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16857 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 01:21 am Sorry, Archraz, but you're looking at the crowns. This is a halfcrown - same design, except for the "2½" rather than the "5" denomination. KM# 7 in the catalogue - it doesn't have the "wagon errors" the crown does. 1894 mintage 134,000, values (in my 2004 edition) $225 in EF; $750 in Unc. I'd guess this would be worth somewhere around $500, plus or minus a hundred. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 02/05/2010 11:10 am Sap- whooops. Thanks for correcting me. Duhbail- Sorry if my misreading got your hopes up a bit for a minute there. But you coin is still quite uncommon and quite valuable. Congrats! Report this Post to the Staff
