George VI 8-Piece "Short" Proof Set 1939, 1/4 Penny (Farthing) - PR64 Brown NGC1/2 Penny - PR64 Brown NGCPenny - PR64 Brown NGC3 Pence - PR64 NGC6 Pence - PR64 NGCShilling - PR63 NGC2 Shillings (Florin) - PR63 NGC2-1/2 Shillings - PR63 NGC KM-PS14, Hern-P15. Mintage: 30 sets. Average grade: 63.625. Rarely offered as a complete set. All coins have completely natural surfaces and have clearly been kept in good care for the last 75 years. The last time we had the privilege of selling one of these sets was January, 2012, where a set with an average grade of 63.75 (essentially comparable to this set) sold for a hammer price of $45,000. This lot is certain to draw the attention of the South African specialist. Sold with the original case.
Estimate: 40000-50000 USD
