Good day to all from Greece , one new addition to my collection is this very beautifull and Extremely Rare sovereign R3 according to Marsh. I hope you like it and you are welcome to tell me what grade you beleive it is or the estimate of its value
Well done I just happen to have the Renniks catalogue in front of me looking at something else Fine $1,350 VF - $3500 EF - $7K Aunc - $11K Unc - $17,5K Ch unc - $27,K Gem - $37,5K I'm no expert on grading but I'd take a stab at VF at least Prices are from 2011 edition so prices should be better than that
Anthony difficult piece and does not come very often at auction. The condition is very good and deserves to be certified, they give the value that befits such rare pieces. The degree that I think will get is between AU55 to AU58
Agree with Chris on the rarity as such value and price are all relevant at the time. Looking at the photos provided, I don't believe it will grade AU I believe it is a strong EF maybe EF+ however too many rim knocks and wear to the obverse for a higher grade IMO. The reverse which always wear better is in very good condition and would go AU no problem ? Looks to be plenty of lustre in the fields as well. Thanks for sharing.
Really ?? And i had washed my hands 3 times before i touch it Will you change your mind if i post you some new photos
I reackon it's an EF+ The Reverse is far better than the obverse, few bagging marks on obverse head, the fields are nice and clear. Biggest detraction is the obverse rim knocks Very nice coin Cheers Alfie
I think anything above is a bit generous A beautiful coin no less and the reverse is fantastic, shields are my favorite of the Sov's Cheers Alfie
nice coin Antony you sovereign collection expanded rapidly we are many greeks around here at silver stackers
Nice details, great strike, a couple of minor rim knocks and some small contact marks, possible evidence of cleaning.. I'd go gEF Brit grading, aunc US.. Great eye appeal.. Hard to tell if its going to look nicer I hand Cheers... Love young head Victoria .. Great specimen 1for1
