Message:: [QUOTE="7Jags, post: 6370267, member: 78719"]Yikes, compared to other Brit coins, I would say not. The 1887 is def. more scarce, and in particular in "67". None-the-less, other coins such as the 1905 half crown in even 65 is far more rare with more interested collectors overall with many other examples that could be trotted out. PCGS has two 1911's in 67, six in 66 including a 66+, with forty-five in 65, total 213PCGS has ZERO 1902's in 67, one in 66, NONE in 65, total graded 235PCGS has ZERO 1887's in 67, two in 66, two in 65, total graded 85 In point of fact, most of the 1902s are far lower in grade so actually at higher grades is much scarcer and as can be seen there is NO comparo with the 1887. Many 1911's however remain in sets, and moreso than the other two dates for whatever reason.But the overriding point is that regardless, many who have known the Brit market for many years shake their head at the crazy price that are achieved, and also know that there are many, many coins that are ungraded and have never been submitted.The relative value IMO is patently ridiculous, when compared with coins far more rare with established markets. Coins like the OP have gotten pumped up to what are probably very unreasonable levels.[/QUOTE]
