<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Bauer, post: 2858019, member: 90042&quot;]Thank you all for your inputs. That 1934 set link for AUD 75K seems expensive. One sold in January for $32K US which I believe is the same set. Here&#039;s how Richard Ponterio of Stacks described the set that sold:</p><p><br /></p><p>Price realized: 32,000 USD&nbsp; (Approx. 30,262 EUR / 25,978 GBP / 32,445 CHF) </p><p>Australia</p><p>George V 6-Piece Certified Proof Set 1934,</p><p>1) 1/2 Penny - PR63 Red and Brown PCGS, KM22</p><p>2) Penny - PR62 Red and Brown PCGS, KM23</p><p>3) 3 Pence - PR65 PCGS, KM24</p><p>4) 6 Pence - PR65 PCGS, KM25</p><p>5) Shilling - PR66 PCGS, KM26</p><p>6) Florin (2 Shillings) - PR65 PCGS, KM27</p><p><br /></p><p>All the same grades except the 1d, perhaps a typo on someone&#039;s part. It would appear that Downies bought the set at 32K and are offering at .8 * 75 = $60K US, a nice markup. But perhaps they are giving themselves some room to discount.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage estimated $35K for the one I&#039;m handling whereas Stacks estimated $20 - $40K. I&#039;m currently corresponding with Downies and yesterday sent an enquiry to Noble but haven&#039;t heard anything back yet. Downies says they sell by private treaty only. i will look into NumisBid and Roxbury&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for pictures, I *love* pictures and collect pictures of coins that I can&#039;t afford. So you are all welcome to the hi-resolution pictures here:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ybwbeswycecemf2/AADZvZUy0mzYsO2mqks-MLPRa?dl=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ybwbeswycecemf2/AADZvZUy0mzYsO2mqks-MLPRa?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ybwbeswycecemf2/AADZvZUy0mzYsO2mqks-MLPRa?dl=0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to share the link with others. BTW I think the set I&#039;m handling is nicer than Downie&#039;s current set - but perhaps I&#039;m biased ;-)</p><p>Thoughts about better success selling in Australia vs US with live Internet bidding? I&#039;ve been told &quot;coins always sell better in their country of origin&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
