    looks like pirate treasure. are you gonna get a pirates chest to put them in ? I always had that vision/fantasy. might make it come true later on after my high debt is paid off.

    MMM negative comments on these on another forum.....saying dipped or something....almost all if not all the half crowns are same date (1945). This was not a one off tub either, there were about 7 tubs of similar coins or smaller denominations. I blew up the photo and the milled edges look sharp....

    If dipped properly, it might make a little difference in their value when you sell them, but not much. More than likely, the duration of time may take a little longer when you sell, because of buyer's being cautious about dipped coins. I don't think that would slow me down form making a purchase decision, if fairly priced. If you bought them as a bullion investment, it makes no difference at all.

    I found out they are from an elderly collector who has had the of 30 years or so and thus I don't believe they were dipped anyway.

    Was also concerned about them getting scratched up in the post and the auction house have kindly agreed to spend the time placing them in bubble wrap layers to keep them apart.......a pleasing attitude seldom found amongst auction houses......

    It sounds like an auction house that wants you as a steady customer. Nice find on both.

    Coins in hand, not dipped and super grades won't be sold as bullion. I was thinking of putting half crown, florin, shilling and sixpence together as a sort of 'set' or group when I decide to sell. 1010g of pre 1947 silver: every coin 1945. IMG_2834.JPG IMG_2835_opt.jpg IMG_2836_opt.jpg
