    richatthecroft reacted to Coverte in 1937 George VI £5 Proof Sovereign Set Value   
    This sounds about right to me, you have about £3800 in gold content, plus whatever someone values poor quality proofs at and about £500 is tops IMHO.
    - not an easy sell, a great shame as those have potential for over £10k in properly stored unmolested condition, but like so many sets - they're not - and auctions tend to reflect on that badly.
    Also, you can still currently pick up a full 5 coin KC3 coronation set for under £4500 - so use that as leverage (meantime I'm monitoring KC3 current health issues closely 🤑 )

    Clearly, not the best condition Set but the photographs aren’t the best either- these 1937 sets need to be seen in hand to accurately appraise them- and even in extremely high grade, they often present with multiple surface scratches and photography doesn’t flatter.
    The most notable observation for me, aside for the indefensible filing to the edge of the 5 Sovereign (or knock if this is the case), is the weak Cameo on all of the coins, but again, the photos might be deceptive- in hand, maybe the overall eye appeal might be more attractive than depicted and perhaps one or two of the lower denominations might be decent grades?
    I wouldn’t be attracted to buying such a set, but for the right money, everyone would buy! 
     
    I think the 5 Sovereign is absolutely fine in terms of authenticity- here’s an authenticated 5 Sovereign to compare the numbering/ lettering.

    I kind of agree, but the Pistrucci George & Dragon design is more than worthy of inclusion into the series. 
    Hopefully there will also be a nice uplift in value of the original 1818- 20 Crown it will be a re-working of 👍
