I have a wild life gold piece from New Zealand. It is 10GR and the COA is marked #1 . There were 1000 of these prduced in 2001. The last were sold about a year ago. Is there signifcance to having number one of this series, and what might be the value. It is as issued proof.
It would depend on the market. If it were a us coin you would be able to expect a premium as people are cray about early numbers.
Also, does it say "1 of 10,000" or soemthign like that, all printed at the same time? That could just be their way of saying there were 10,000. Or, is the #1 unique to that cert? (handwritten or printed separately). Could add some curiosity value.
The COA is marked #1 . There were 1000 units made. It is printed seperately in a provided area. The coin is in a bank so I do not have immediate access to it. What does a colorizing do as far as value to a piece ? I have seen a few colorized coins but never of this quality. You have to see this and the pheasant that were done. The work is unique .In hand vs. a picture is a whole different scenario.
Well, I mean no offense by saying this, but most collectors consider colorized coins as little more than novelties. Some aren't even that nice when talking about them. Because of that, most collectors have little interest in them. So whether the COA was number 1 or 998 really wouldn't make much difference.
Oh good I only have one that Ireceived as a birthday gift from my wife. I will just print this and let her read it so I will not have to break the news .
And if it weren't colorized, you'd have an interesting variety/mint error, because they were issued as color coins.
