To estimate a maximum purchase price for the coin in question, we will consider several factors:
1. Condition of the coin: The coin has a condition rating of 90 (EF), which indicates that it is in quite good shape. This generally translates to a higher price compared to coins with lower conditions.
2. Current price and previous prices: The current starting price is 600 euros. In previous auctions, we have seen hammer prices that varied significantly, but there are examples of coins with similar conditions that have sold for higher prices. For instance, in 2018, a coin with a condition of 95 sold for 600 euros, and in 2014, a coin with a condition of 90 sold for 1800 euros.
3. Price trends: The average hammer price for similar coins is 158.66 euros, but this may not reflect the true value of a coin in EF condition. Given that the coin in question has a higher condition, it is reasonable to expect its hammer price to be above this average.
4. Supply and demand: The coin has been auctioned 117 times, with a high percentage of sales (105 out of 117). This suggests that there is consistent interest in this coin, which may increase its value.
5. Previous estimated prices: Estimated prices in previous auctions for coins with similar conditions have varied, but some have reached significant figures.
Taking all these factors into account, an estimated maximum purchase price for this coin could be between 800 and 1200 euros, considering its good condition and market interest. However, given the starting price of 600 euros, it is likely that the actual hammer price will be closer to the upper end of this range, especially if there is competition among bidders.
