I've been offered this coin for $200.Is this a good price as there doesn't seem to be too many references as to the value of these in
higher grade.Thanks in advance for any help

are you selling or buying?
the actual variety (i.e. the flag union jack) is not photographed with an semblance of clarity

Sellers photos and he wants $200 for the coin
Very hard to tell from those pic's steve.
Looks like a baggy MS coin from what I can see of it.
Bashed up examples of these sell on eBay for $30-$40 and EF coins normally go for $50- $80.
I don't recall seeing an true MS coin listed yet so I have NO idea of the eBay value.
There is also no reference to the incused coin on Blue sheet either.
Greg McDonalds book however lists it as;
UNC $160
Ch UNC $200
A fair offer on this coin would be $120-$140 (Nobody pays book price)
Just my thoughts Mate, I have been wrong before so I may be wrong with this assumption.
But I doubt it :diablo: :)

Thanks for that mate,I don't think this one is choice but I have asked for some more photos.I was thinking that if this is MS60-62 it still may be worth snapping up for $200 as they are so scarce in UNC and I think that will be a bargain price in the years to come
These coins have a special 'angle' that makes them look better than they are.
Get a top down pic. No angles and make a decision from that.

Don't go near this unless you have some better pic's or can see it "in hand".
I bought one that looked great in the same "Side on" pics and it turned out to be an EF coin :dash1:
Ask for a scan and a front on set of pic's before you commit, It's only a couple of hundred bucks but why waste it on a possibly $50 coin.
Due Diligence is required when buying high grade cupro/nickel coins :ok:

Yeah thanks Rob I've asked for photos from above so I can see all of the detail.This one seems to have the queens hair chatter (looks like PMD but many of them have it) so I'll need to see that up close as well
I couldn't grade it from those images. I wouldn't offer more than $100 due to the risk involved.

I bought this 4-5 years ago? Unc $150 How time flies
Once again sorry for quality of photos IPhone
This is Mark's PCGS MS64 although it isn't labelled as incuse, just a regular millenium. It cost about $300 graded but I would suggest it could go for a lot more at auction today.

looks very nice
Got some better photos and now I'm not sure that it's uncirculated.I told the seller that I thought it would only grade aUNC because of the
scratches and dings on the obverse

I know Matty ,the guy told me that he'd had an offer of $170 so I told him to take it,I bought 6 incused coins
for a total of $175 posted from a dealer earlier this week and there is supposed to be an UNC and at least
1x aUNC amongst them so I'll see what happens with that lot first
am I right in thinking that if this cupro nickel coin is 13 years old that it should have some nice lustre or dullness - not glossy and shiny?

I hate to say this Mate But that coin is starting to look like a "Peter Wallace" offering :angel:
Far too much "Chatter" on the obverse to be MS I think :ok:
I suggest holding onto your Money and wait for a better one :good:

I always thought wear was the contributing factor to bring a coins grade down from UNC ?
Either way, the coin does not appear UNC.

Detracting marks can also reduce the grade

Thanks for this picture Stevo. I have had a few Millenniums but only standard issue. Not having seen an incused,this clearly show the difference to be as I thought.
Bulk purchase of incused 50's and still no UNC
