1967 Pattern $1 Swan

[purplepennyhunter]

A few years back Mark purchased a box for his swan dollar. Never before had we seen one for sale by itself and managed to talk a dealer into splitting the box from the coin. A number was thrown around and we sheepishly walked away with less money, no coin and a new box still very happy.

I just noticed this on eBay Box For Sale at $350 OBO.  Also then noticed they have their pattern $1 slabbed by someone I am yet to ever hear about CMG, apparently "one of the strickest Australian graders around".
And they have....what.....4 dollars -1 sold. All graded by CMG. ANd no pic of the other side of the coin/slab.

Box is a nice touch, $350 is a little steep. Goose seems to be a little expensive also, slabbed or otherwise.

I messaged the seller and this is the information I got back

"He is a gentlemen based here in Brisbane, really strict grader is use the Sheldon System but bases it on the Australian style so XF is an actual EF coin.
I haven't personally used him but quite a few guys here in Brisbane use him, much cheaper than most but has been quite ill so isn't slabbing at the moment"
