Help Me identify and get information on this coin

Postby Robarons » Sun Mar 25, 2018 11:32 am

2014 British Virgin Island PT$125 John F Kennedy Ultra High Relief coin

Heres what I do know:
-nice high relief coin in a thick NGC holder and a Pobjoy mint box
-500 coin mintage
-should be a 1 oz platinum coin

Google and ebay show like 3 examples no other detail. There are a bunch of silver ones but I noticed they only have a 10 face value- this one has a $125 face value. No details from pobjoy mint either

Anyone have a resource or book with information on this coin- hoping it is a 1 oz platinum

Thanks

Might want to contact NGC. There are also several articles about fake fantasy coins. No idea if this is real.

Only thing I could find that was not on eBay. Not sure if this is a reputably site or not - have never used it.

Good find. Didn't appear in my search.

That is one butt ugly coin.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

Found it here too. Think this coin is good because it came in silver/gold styles too. Pobjoy mint makes a crazy amount of odds coins- there are coins that can only be found in odd places or that big foreign coin book

it is ugly and just on how hard it is to prove will likely pop it out and melt it

That explained a lot. 500 proofs graded by NGC. Yep the design is ugly - hard to justify doing anything with it but a bullion round.
