Question
my mother has an immaculately kept 1952 queen's coronation
grand marnier fine old champagne cognac and orange.
Special reserve number 2230.Number of bottles produced 12,000.
In original box and contents untouched. Any idea on a value?

Answer
HI Michael

This is a bottle from my birth year!  Very cool.  It won't have appreciated much in value--because it is so high in alcohol that it hasn't changed much in the bottle.  I'd guess $50 for the contents.

But you should check with the people at antiquebottles.com.  They can tell you if the bottle itself has a higher value.  They are very nice and helpful folks there.

Hope that helps--sorry I can't give you more exciting news.
