Rotated B ( Brisbane ) Counterstamp $1 coin- CLOSED

accumulator · December 09, 2013, 10:50:59 PM

Now , it's been some time since we first talked about this coin.i think it's fair to say that it is in fact a 1 of a kind.
I've decided after recent events that it's time for me to get serious about making things better for myself & my partner & i am going to sell this coin to the right person for an agreed price.
Please don't waste my time with stupidly low offers as this coin imo is a absolute winner now & in time to come will only gain interest & value,a true investment coin.
Please feel free to email or message me with any offers,i'm puting it up in here 1st as i know there are some collectors here that would dearly love to have it.
At this time it is not for sale anywhere else.

Please define "stupidly low offer".
i.e. why not state the lowest offer you would accept.

hi accums
you could do what a some people here do
list the coin on ebay
and post the link to the listing in the thread

might open up the competition and the price!

good luck with the error selling adventure

I certainly would like to make an offer on it but what you consider a low offer and what I consider a low offer could be quite different. I don't want to insult you so perhaps you could PM me with the ball-park figure you are looking for?

:I_agree: which is why I didn't say anything. Much better to post some idea of a price range, I reckon.

Well, the last portable press error $1's were selling at 5.5K to 6.5K & there were several of them so imo this coin has to be worth more than those.

Which ones were they? PPH and I didn't pay even remotely close to that amount for the double mint mark SHB dollar we picked up in October this year. We bought it from a dealer who had taken it to numerous shows where it went unsold at his asking price for a long time.

What sort of errors were those?
I'm not sure anyone is going to agree with your opinion. I would have thought several hundred at most.

Missing mint mark selling upward of 6K

Warning : This is accumulators thread. I don't want him to feel like anyone is trying to get a coin cheap from him. It's fair to discuss the market for these coins in this thread if he's happy to do so. If he's not then please PM me accumulator and I'll delete all OT posts.

They'll be the coins that Tony Ozcan had. Do you know if any of them actually sold for the amounts he was asking? Feel free to PM me and I'll tell you what we paid for our double MM dollar. I'll even tell you the dealer who we got it from and I'm sure will be happy to confirm the price.

EDIT

No, he hasn't sold them. You can still buy them here: http://www.selectview.com.au/index1.html?products.html&1

In hindsight i don't think puting it in here was such a good idea,as per some of the comments made.
Plenty of other options NO doubt.

Absolutely other methods of selling. Try sticking it on eBay at a high BIN and take offers on it to see what people are willing to pay.

You want me to close this thread?

accumulator · December 10, 2013, 10:52:52 AM

No ,i would prefer you did not close the thread Mark.
Past history has clouded some peoples judgement imo.

Sorry accumulator. I should have expressed myself better. I was really trying to give you a realistic idea.

Error coins are an interesting area.

The selling price of an error coin depends heavily upon how spectacular the error is.

Compare with:

The last time one of these sold at public auction was several years ago at Nobles and it realised a price of around $6K including commission. Nice though your coin is, it is not as spectacular as a scalloped 20c.

Now compare with this 5c brockage:

The brockage was being sold by Sterling and Currency for $1500 two years ago. Once again, your coin isn't really as spectacular an error as this.

I don't have pcitures of these types, but interesting though it is, your $1 is not up there with a double mintmark dollar or a missing mintmark.
It is more impressive than the 2007 Harbour bridge sdollars that had the mintmarks in slightly the wrong position including those that obliterated some of the design.
