Though these were prepared and struck for the royal visit of King George VI, his trip was ultimately cancelled due to illness. To our knowledge the most recent public offering of such a piece in the same grade (PCGS PR 66) was in the Heritage NYINC 2015 Lot # 21254 where it hammered down at an impressive $18,000 (plus buyers premium).
From the Fenton Collection.
Estimate: $10000.00- $15000.00
