Looks like THAT Waitangi Crown has been sold? I wonder how much under the original purchase price ($13,250) it went for?

Apparently there is a 1947 NZ proof set in the upcoming mowbray auction!!

We'll probably never know, but I'm curious about the pedigree of that one - you could almost count the number of those on the fingers of no hands.

a little pedantic there Martin? I certainly wouldn't mind if they sold the pieces individually. Quite fancy the florin!
some 1935 Waitangi Crowns there also. If you had a spare $13,250 (and some brains!) you could get a nice coin!

here's another 1947 "proof set" so maybe they are no so rare?

Not worth the pewter alloy it's doubtless made from!

Spoke to the seller and he was pleased to be alerted to the slip in that auction - fake in the pic had a different date to the one in the actual auction listing.

oh dear. I would have bid on it. Someone got a bargain then!

is anyone excited by the noble auction of NZ medals or is it a non event in numismatic circles?

I reckon the members of the RNSNZ should organise a whip-round to purchase the entirety of the Collection of New Zealand Historical Medals & Memorabilia (Part 1) on auction at noble. Estimated value is 2.6million Aud so if there are say 26,000 members of RNSNZ then that is only $100 per person?

What do you want to know? It's in the Morel catalogue as the very first entry.

Or $10,000 each for 260 members, which is probably closer to reality!

it says nothing about a bright bronze finish in my copy of Morel. Actually it also doesn't say anything about a Interprovincial exhibition medal in silver either.
https://www.noble.com.au/auctions/lot?id=109917
I wonder who got that silver Interprovincial exhibition medal it does not seem to have reappeared since then?

if anyone is going to attend in person the Noble Collection of New Zealand Historical Medals & Memorabilia (Part 1) auction could they please take a gander at this lot for me
https://noble.com.au/auctions/lot/?id=466345
and report back here as to their opinion re authenticity. I am a tad sceptical as to whether a medal from 1865 could still be described as bright!
