Posted by slang on July 28, 2010

At the recent Mavin International auction,we see a confirmation of the statement, buy the best grade coin. As grading encompass lustrousness,most coin collectors would take that factor to price the coin. Picture no.1 showed the coin which is still choice UNC MS 62 which is of very high grade but unfortunately has lost most of its lustrousness whilst the other coin has a beautiful lustrous which is a RED GEM. So please do keep all your wonderful coins in tight vacuum high quality holders. Don’t save your cents to lose your dollars!!!

If you look at this “uninteresting” coin,you will be surprised that it fetched a very high price of USD1,100 before premium and GST at the recent July 2010 Mavin International auction. This coin is described as toned, good very fine to about extremely fine. BUT DON’T FORGET this is a scarce 50 cents coin King George V WITH DOT instead of cross!!
