Potential group buy.. una and the lion proof set... £200,000+

[Guest]

Maybe we should club together and buy it as a group investment?

 

"A rare proof set of what are arguably some of the world's most beautiful coins is expected to fetch £200,000 to £250,000 at an auction of Coins and Historical Medals to be held by Dix Noonan Webb, the international coins, medals and jewellery specialists, in London on 13 – 14 September 2017. The 1839 British proof set of 15 coins bearing the ‘Una and the Lion' design is in virtually mint state and is housed in its original contemporary fitted case.

 

It comprises a Five Pounds, with the ‘Dirige' wording on the edge, a Sovereign, Half-Sovereign, Crown, Halfcrown, Shilling, Sixpence, Britannia Groat, Maundy set, Penny, Halfpenny and Farthing. The set, which is being sold by a private collector, is described as being “virtually mint state and brilliant, the gold with minimal hairlines, the silver with attractive light toning”."
