re Visiting collections

[trout]

wouldn't a good canberra (parl house) proof cost nearly as much as the 1930 penny?

Yes it would but I know which I would rather have :yahoo:
400 proof Canberra florins were minted compaired to 3000 of the 1930 pennys.

[robbiegal]

yeah, i'd like one too
one day i might find one in an auction  'lot'

I have bought heaps of these with that thought in mind every time I get a bulk lot.
It's one of the things that keeps me getting out of bed in the mornings :good:

It has happened.:yahoo:

There is an ebay ID perthpunter who is currently
trying to move his Impared Proof '27.

From memory I think perhaps our "Walter"
may have been asked to originally ID the
the poor thing before it was sent to a TPG
for conservation and slabbing.

found it
very interesting
not quite so sure about all the 'guide' argie bargie bizzo in the description
coin hasn't sold, so there isn't a hammer price to go by for the changing of the guide prices for valuations?

jeepers- i just looked at his other listings - $4,000 for a $1 'mule' AU55 and just on $4,000 for one of those 2006 error proof sets
maybe the impaired proof IS overpriced!!

The last impaired I've seen was a SEGS slab PR58
Noble Auction hammer price $950.00
If this coin is a genuine Proof Strike(Impaired)
http://www.noble.com.au/auctions/lot/?id=291745

Then the $7k+ is little bit rich for the ebay listing.

[robbiegal]

thanks for that
the description isn't exactly convincing 'possibly proof like'

the values for impaired proofs is a bit murky really

[Fordprefect]

With Status Auctions having a Unsold Lot 6472
at $5k + 16.5% Commision:dodgy:
http://www.statusint.com/result_coins.php?id=64
Maybe some where between $3k-$5
Either number is too rich for me:angel:

[robbiegal]

thanks for the market research tips
might be why the seller was offered the ebay guy $3,500 - if that is about the going rate

jeepers, those proofs are just lovely

hummm ... back to my daggy circulation lots ha ha
being a true blue collector can have it's downside .....
but every now and again, i find a nice one that the dealer hasn't spotted
