Description |

Lot# 699 |
 |
Denomination set of New Zealand half crown (1900), 2 shillings (1900) and shilling (1879) (3 coins total) in original promotional wallet.
13.8, 10.8 and 5.0 grams each.
Typical promotional set from this wreck, the three coins all more or less corroded and/or encrusted and reacting with the plastic in the wallet, yet with clear details on each coin (the two larger ones particularly bold), and really the best package available from this somewhat modern wreck.
With original certificate and promotional wallet printed with Treasure Coins from the Wreck of the Elingamite on the front.
Estimate: $125-$200. |
