2014 1/4 oz Britannia PF 70 valuation

[Oldun]

Any thoughts on a price range for this coin ? I checked online but not much going. It is the sexy classic una and the lion 2014 design

650 mintage, 103 graded PF 70

Well, I went ahead and bought it.....

Congrats with your purchase! That’s one hell of a beautiful coin!

I sold a PF69 for £900 not that long ago.  I think I got paid over market price tbh but as they say the price is whatever someone is willing to pay.  You don't see these for sale often in any grade as they were only available in sets.

Thanks breaktwister.

£627 delivered. It pays not to have to fight it out with the western world sometimes but I still have no idea if that is a good price or not as there is no reference point other than yours breaktwister. Paying for it Monday, should arrive this week.

Bargain imo. Nice pickup.

Among the non-Philip Nathan Britannia designs, that one by Jody Clark is the only one I like. Great snag!

[Oldun]

There does seem to be something about the design I find it hard to put my finger on....there is just something that makes it stand out.

OK, as someone who doesnt really understand the numisistanticness of coins...

 

What has drive the price of the two coins mentioned to be valued well over 5x its current spot price in weight? is it because 650 is a really low mintage? or is it because PF70 is worth the premium?

(and please dont say both). If it was a higher volume mintage with PF70, or the same mintage with no grading, which would add the most value?

 

cheers

I suspect it is the design - a 2014 proof Britannia raw will command a premium over a 2013 or 2015 proof.  In silver I have seen the 6 coin set go for twice the price of the 2015 version.

[Oldun]

It is just a thing of beauty. People pay far far more for paintings, cars ovens or even tvs or computers ! The artwork just seems to draw the eye in and hold it there. When buying a painting, you dont consider the base cost of the canvas and paint.

 

p.s. I picked up the proof  for nowhere near 5x the spot price.  Just need to have patience and timing and a wee bit of luck.

Some folks like to collect these Britannia's.  They only started in 1987 so its not that difficult of a collection to build up....until you realise that some years only had 500 or less minted, some years only came in sets etc.  As always the price is a factor of demand and supply and the fact that this coin just looks amazing increases the demand and price.
