[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7930557, member: 10461"]I would not be surprised to find that the little depression- the “divot”, or “pit” in King George’s neck- is some kind of die anomaly rather than a hit. But I don’t know. So from the technical standpoint, it’s a decent coin. But is it worth 40 bucks? Given the [URL='https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/new-zealand-6-pence-km-2-1933-1936-cuid-1081409-duid-1444624']catalog value[/URL], I don’t think so. That’s on the threshold of UNC money. This is an About Uncirculated coin, but not a high-end AU. It’s more AU50-53-ish. AU50 catalog price is $11.50 and AU53 lists for $13.50. Unless you just [I]have[/I] to have it, and don’t feel like continuing the search for one- or you could get it for half as much- I’d pass, personally. Now, there [I]have[/I] been times when I’ve “thrown the book out the window” and paid well over catalog- sometimes even [I]multiples[/I] of catalog- for a coin I needed. This happened a lot with the later-date Irish predecimal stuff when I was collecting those. Some of the later date pieces had really low catalog values despite also having relatively low mintages and being hard to find. You’ll have to ask yourself how much you want it, and how long you’ll need to wait before another might be available. I will say that with 3 million minted, this is not an especially scarce coin.[/QUOTE]
