I have five of these. A specimen was made with a satin finish. How can you tell the difference since these appear to be slightly circulated? Thanks, Chris

The satin finish is not like the burnished coins we see today. The satin finished used on these coins look like the die was hammered (literally) to make the fields anything but smooth. Those are more common than the smooth ones. From your pictures, 1, 2, and 6 look satin.

hi.gif There i have a picture of a satin crown but it is to big to post hear..

 

i have had lots of these crowns and thay all look satiny a true one stands out a mile

 

But the true satin ones were only made for presentation to "VIP's and are Extremly rare (1000) minted.

the last one "the one i have a picture of" is a bit ropey and it sold for £950

 

If you would like to send me a Email at dooly@klf1.fsnet.co.uk I will send the pictures and maybe you know how to reduce them

 

All the best dooly

I do not collect UK coins but I have seen VIP proofs of other issues. Are there really that many of these for this issue? That must be a very popular coin for it to sell at that price with that mintage. I have seen a few VIP proofs from KGV and KGVI on both Northeastcoin.com and Goldberg (some might even be the same coins). Neither stated what the mintages were but I thought it was at most 25. The most recent ones were KGV Halfcrowns graded NGC PR-65. The ask price was $1850.

I believe you mean KM#910 not HK#910. I don't have a KM#910 yet, but here's my HK#910A:

Yes, I meant KM and it has been corrected. Thanks!

Dooly, thanks for the help. You really don't have to be so secretive about this variety. Greg doesn't care. Is the Type A hard to find? Are there any estimates on the population? What are they worth in comparison to the Type B? Is the one I have that you think is the Type A somewhere between #1 & #3?

Hi :)

Is there anyone in this thread still here please? I have one of these coins and haven't a clue how to check if it's the VIP coin or not. Why are they called rainbow? Mine has a rainbow shimmer. It needs a good clean but too scared to touch it just in case.

Can someone educate me a little please? :)

Thank you
