A proof?
Are NGC capable of telling the difference?
Even if is a proof he's asking for £2,750 when it catalogues at £1,500. He lists in a large font in ALL CAPS in blue so the seller's a dork to be avoided, and he has private feedback. Billy http://cgi.ebay.com/EXCESSIVELY-RARE...mZ330002727832 |

Billy http://cgi.ebay.com/EXCESSIVELY-RARE...mZ330002727832 The NGC (as well as the other grading "services") are probably no more capable of telling the difference than are the experts (dealers and collectors) who frequently post on this site. Also he is clearly a "dork" (A stupid, inept, or foolish person). I would avoid him like the bird flu, or worse. T |

Though the images of the fields offer no clue, the devices appear to be exceptionally well struck with needle sharp denticles and rims. Steve |

note.boy wrote: Are NGC capable of telling the difference? My initial impression is, apparently not. Doesn't look like a proof from those photos. Even if is a proof he's asking for £2,750 when it catalogues at £1,500. I am reminded of the band `Supertramp' (now when was the last time you heard of them?) and their hit entitled `Dreamer'.

Steve As circulation strike coins made by the Royal Mint are of very high quality it's often very difficult with some issues to tell proofs and non proof apart. Billy |

Billy If you consider the actual number of wreath crowns struck there would be hardly any wear on the dies even after the last in the run was struck. The first few hundred in the strike run could easily give the false impression of being `proofs'......unless you had a comparator on hand. You either need really good photographs or need to see them in the flesh to determine. If you look at the 1927 which was a `proof only' strike and use it as a comparator, you can tell (fairly readily) the difference between coins that have proof fields and those which have `prooflike' fields. |
