I wonder when the new Bertrand catalogue comes out if there will be a big jump in the value of a Waitangi Crown?

[Dean]

Looks like THAT Waitangi Crown has been sold? I wonder how much under the original purchase price ($13,250) it went for?

Apparently there is a 1947 NZ proof set in the upcoming mowbray auction!!

We'll probably never know, but I'm curious about the pedigree of that one - you could almost count the number of those on the fingers of no hands.

[Dean]

a little pedantic there Martin? I certainly wouldn't mind if they sold the pieces individually. Quite fancy the florin!

some 1935 Waitangi Crowns there also. If you had a spare $13,250 (and some brains!) you could get a nice coin!

[Dean]

here's another 1947 "proof set" so maybe they are no so rare?

I have my doubts about this one

Hector Medal!!

[Dean]

that's 2 big auctions coming up!

[translateltd]

I have my doubts about this one

https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/...4264357972

Not worth the pewter alloy it's doubtless made from!

Spoke to the seller and he was pleased to be alerted to the slip in that auction - fake in the pic had a different date to the one in the actual auction listing.

oh dear. I would have bid on it. Someone got a bargain then!

[Dean]

is anyone excited by the noble auction of NZ medals or is it a non event in numismatic circles?

[Dean]

anyone know anything about this?

I reckon the members of the RNSNZ should organise a whip-round to purchase the entirety of the Collection of New Zealand Historical Medals & Memorabilia (Part 1) on auction at noble. Estimated value is 2.6million Aud so if there are say 26,000 members of RNSNZ then that is only $100 per person?

What do you want to know?  It's in the Morel catalogue as the very first entry.

Or $10,000 each for 260 members, which is probably closer to reality!

[Dean]

it says nothing about a bright bronze finish in my copy of Morel. Actually it also doesn't say anything about a Interprovincial exhibition medal in silver either.

https://www.noble.com.au/auctions/lot?id=109917

I wonder who got that silver Interprovincial exhibition medal it does not seem to have reappeared since then?

[Dean]

then

and now

[Dean]

if anyone is going to attend in person the Noble Collection of New Zealand Historical Medals & Memorabilia (Part 1) auction could they please take a gander at this lot for me

https://noble.com.au/auctions/lot/?id=466345

and report back here as to their opinion re authenticity. I am a tad sceptical as to whether a medal from 1865 could still be described as bright!
