actually I am beginning to wonder if it was actually sold at all? Perhaps when it reached $725 it was withdrawn by the auctioneer when it was realised the estimate/reserve was incorrect?

Like the 1969/3 Cook medal, it's also possible some "maker's reserves" have come to light, which would increase the tally of known examples, if only by a small number. Formal qualifications? There aren't any. Would be nice to say you have to be a collector and student of the stuff you collect, without just aiming to turn a quick buck, but even that's possibly ambitious!

Interesting. Seller, prompted by discussion in questions has set a reserve, and the buyer who reckoned it was only worth $60 has bid $170, but reserve has not been met. LOL !!

He seems to be bidding on all of these and coronation crowns but keeps getting outbid. Going for some crazy prices at the moment.

Yes I think he has lost his mind. A little more calmness and patience would be in order!

it's been amusing to watch these, planeman62 has a pretty average feedback rating. Maybe a bit of a personality disorder
This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.

Apart from the one 1953 set that went for a crazy $710 the prices don't seem to be too over the top. If you have a few lesser quality sets you don't really want then now might be a good time to try and get rid of them. I'd hold on to better sets as I don't think those buying now are particularly knowledgeable so you are unlikely to get a good price.

I assume the "specimen" coins were just the standard coins in a fancy case?

Here are the effects of climate change on "Online Coins and Collectables" in Lismore NSW Australia.
"FLOOD BARGAINS. After two floods, we unfortunately lost most of our stock. But we have recovered heaps of coins which will be up for sale here. All outer packaging was destroyed, and some coins have been exposed to water, others have not. But with thousands of coins it is to hard to check every one. So all coins sold here are as is. Collector coins will be a nominal value above face value and silver and gold coins will be sold at current spot price plus 15%. Have a look as there are plenty of bargains to be had."

Dean once asked "How does one formally qualify as a numismatist? Any exams?"
The late Philip Grierson was Professor of Numismatics in the Universities of Cambridge and Brussels (and a great writer). The University of Otago lists 'Ancient Greek history: Numismatics' as one of many postgraduate research opportunities available at the School of Arts with Associate Professor Pat Wheatley. The Australian Catholic University has Michael P. Theophilos who has written the book "Numismatics and Greek Lexicography". He was on Aussie TV a couple of times talking about coinage after the Queen's death. FindAMasters states "We have 17 Masters Degrees (Numismatics)" in a few British Universities such as Warwick. Then of course there is the American Numismatic Association which states that it offers individuals the opportunity to discover and explore the World of Money by enrolling in the School of Numismatics Diploma Program at a special offer of US$499. Some of their free webinars are o.k. But none of anything above is really relevant to NZ numismatics. Some on Trade Me would qualify as experts ie. Antiquarius, Numismatic, Translateltd etc. |
