closed Tonight torn soft tissue special Newfoundland gold $2 dollars 1881 rare and beautiful £490 posted

[Leonmarsh]

After much deliberation and observation. The forum it seems as though sovereigns are the way to go easier to buy and liquidate when necessary 

So here for sale is a belting and very rare 1881 newfoundland $2 dollar gold coin 

Price £490 posted 

Would exchange for a graded young head shieldback Sovereign or ungraded 

or other sovereigns considered if the deal is right nothing modern i.e gillicks 

This is a real rarity for someone 

Would also possibly exchange my au55 Sydney mint sov if there was interest in a larger exchange deal

Hi, Nice looking coin....

Is this the same spec as a sovereign? @Leonmarsh 

[Leonmarsh]

3.33 grams 

10,000 mintage and rare 

The Newfoundland 2-dollar coin was issued in intermittent years between 1865 and 1888. It was the only circulation gold coin issued by a British colony. Although few coins were issued, it was broadly used in Newfoundland and eastern Canada. The coin became scarce in 1894 because of hoarding following the collapse of Newfoundland's banks and monetary system.

Bump 

[Leonmarsh]

550 posted got to be the cheapest around by some distance if you can find one 

[Leonmarsh]

540 cheap this for the grade

 

[alexmcsheffrey]

In you're opinion what grade would you suggest? Not that I would hold you to it ! Just wanting you're opinion  as you have it in hand and photos don't do a coin justice sometimes 

[Leonmarsh]

Safe AU55 possibly AU58 in my opinion maybe even low MS it's not been circulated as you can see 

If it got low MS it would be a £1,000 coin more than likely just can't be arsed with grading

This sale is painful! 😂

@AndrewTurner, did you see Leon's reply?

I guess most folk just look at the price and divide it by the gold weight.

Perhaps this needs grading to find its audience @Leonmarsh?

Probably not the right forum this for numismatic coins certainly different to last year maybe a different audience ? Buyers market ?
