Have a look at this litttle eBay item. Butchered, but still up to AUD153.50 for a half sovereign! Mind you, the coin is fairly heavily worn. But its still a half-sov!! Item number: 150755415398
What about this. Still $9500 http://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/...-ii-1852-adelaide-assay-office-extremely-fine
Sad but if it wasn't for people turning these into necklaces or bracelets I wouldn't have half of the old coins I do. I have quite a few gold and silver coins handed down to me with holes in them, they are less worn than the circulating examples I have seen for some of them as well. Still not much good in a collection though!
Might as well keep wearing them as jewellery! Thanks for the link projack, never seen a holed Adelaide pound before.
Hi all I just found those here, I do not know if I will buy them. It is not impressive at all, it is a shame. Henrik
