An information post for anyone who trades a volume of PMs or other collectibles, even if you're just a sole trader or not VAT registered. I have been using specialist insurance for 2 years and found it very reasonable for the cover provided. Though I have not had to claim, I have no reason to suspect there would be an issue. It covers stock held at premises, on person, at shows/events/auctions etc, but most importantly stock in transit sent by registered mail, for up to £5k. This will be especially valuable now that the extra compensation on SD costs £10 per package! This cover will go to £5000 at no extra cost per package. Please PM me if you would like further details. I get a referral reward for everyone who takes out insurance

Very sorry both - all the copper 5oz have sold I really didn't order enough of them. 2oz available if that will do, or if you would just settle for silver ??

Disappointing they do not acknowledge their obvious mistake and instead point the blame at NGC. But good that you have been offered a refund.

About a third of this price

I don't know the answer to that. However, for me it is a wider question than strictly one of legality. They surely aim to run an enduring business in which trust and expertise is a cornerstone. Mistakes happen in any business and if they put their hands up and make it right this is no issue. It's the metric by which I judge any business - how they handle issues. It might incur a small loss on their part to put it right. But if they dig their heels in and refuse a refund, and thousands of people (prospective buyers and sellers) on the internet find out about it the cost to their business will be far higher. So regardless of the time it takes after the auction for the issue to come to light they should put you right. Everyone knows that NGC typically take 3-4 months to grade a coin and this shouldn't have a bearing on the outcome. I have seen this exemption phrase in the Ts and Cs of many auctions so it probably is legal but they will be using it more as a disclaimer to protect themselves against bad actors, than a worked policy.

Two details to differentiate these - the details of the rose - lots of definition absent entirely from your circulation coin. Also look at the teeth - no border outside the teeth on the proof. A circulation coin showing cameo is common if it has had very little contact

I have twice had auction houses misdescribe items. In the first instance it was also a specialist coin auction, describing a rare silver proof panda as "as struck" where it had hairlines all over it. The other was a local auction house. In both cases a refund was offered. Shockingly in the first instance they stood by their description that the coin was as struck but gave me a refund anyway.

A very nice coin, but sadly not a proof. A proof is struck to a much higher standard and on a different level altogether in terms of the details and the surfaces. It's night and day! https://www.sovr.co.uk/products/george-iv-1821-proof-halfcrown-pf64-heavier-garnished-reverse-cm06336 They could have got away with saying prooflike as there is some fabulous lustre and field contrast there, but it's not a proof strike. I would certainly be calling up Baldwins and returning for a full refund. If they value their reputation they will do it immediately, no questions asked.

Would you like this coin?

Proof gold 2% under spot. Great buy

You're welcome to post to me for sigma testing. I don't have the pro but it is good for an indication on Morgans

Oops, sorry, forgot to turn the coin. Not the best portrait of QEII there ever was
