[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 2024594, member: 71234"]Since sales of these items must be extremely rare, they may be going by last recorded sales which could be 50 years ago, or they just picked a number from out of a hat. Put it this way, can you find any examples of these coins having been sold recently to prove them wrong? In general, any British Commonwealth/ British Empire coin minted before countries started churning out masses of NCLT are in strong demand and sell well, the world population of British Empire collectors is probably as large as the domestic US population of US coin collectors. All the dates you mention are before the informal cut off date of 1960 which marked the end of what I'd call real coin making and the start of coins with no other purpose than to part gullible collectors from their money.[/QUOTE]
