I have managed to get a silver kilo and i am eagerly waiting for it and having in hand will be probably awesome

I am not sure the kilo is a good performer as the 2ozs, but it is still a safe bet imho.

Did anybody consider getting these kilos ? It would be interesting to know opinions

I have one on order

This delay in posting out are items seems to be happening more and more.

Good luck with the grade, I wont receive my coin until 2022

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!

I’ve been watching the chat for the past week on prices ect, I have noticed that the flippers are all undercutting each other on eBay which is good for us collectors, more to buy and send for grading. When graded 70s get back the prices will rise, I’m looking forward to January for my 2oz gold plain edge to be delivered.   

Once the lucky ones receive their coins, its then that mad and nail biting time, a 3 month wait for are coins to come back from grading 69 or 70.

My latest fees from FedEx was £21.00 they said it was a returns fee on my coins coming back from PCGS in France.

Again would not deliver my coins until I paid this fee.

On the HM Revenue & Customs form  for EORI number put (12) 111111111111, MRN number put (12) 111111111111, works every time for me.

Just received this latest refund.

We’ve approved your claim dated 19 August 2021.
This was for a refund or remission of Import Duties under Regulation 50 of the Customs (Import Duty) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018.
Your repayment of £470.76 will be issued by the National Duty Repayment Centre shortly.
We do not refund fees that may have been added by an agent.
If you contact us, please quote our reference number and provide a daytime phone number.

ALL delivery company's are making on the fees.

I’ve been using CC auction from day 1, a couple of minor hiccups but 5 stars from me.

I agree with others, and any more than 2 auctions a month will cause delays at present.

A winning format in low selling fees and no buyer fees.  

I used the FedEx Brokerage Admin team cost £53 to reclaim £500 that I had to pay to receive my coins, this took 3 months, HMRC agreed that no tax was due and refunded FedEx.

Another month gone and still have no refund from FedEx.

Beware they also may issue a credit note they have done this before.

I have this year had many coins stopped at customs and import duties and fees incorrectly applied.

FedEx would send items to me and then send invoice for duties and fees, but now hold items until duties are paid, I have had to claim back from HMRC this can take up to 8 months.

UPS are the worse, they simple lie, give false tracking and refuse to deliver until you pay, again I have claimed all duties back on every delivery.

These companies’ simply use Brexit as a way to charge handling fees.

If you fail to pay FedEx after 3 months they will send you a letter saying they are about to instruct a debt collection company to recover the monies plus additional costs.

All my coins are simple returns from PCGS after grading.

Its your choice , €5 gets you a photo with PCGS

There are no photos on the PCGS site as the original owner only paid for the standard service.

I would send the coin/s to PCGS for re-grading, then coin/s would be authenticated, but you may receive a lower grade.

I use PCGS in Europe, I have sent many NGC gold proof PF70 coins for crossover only to find they DNC.

I believe PCGS coins in PR70 are of a higher standard.

There’s a slow uptake on these coins, 45 mins since launch and no sell out?

Brought 2oz gold and silver

Many of the flippers are not collectors, and just want a quick profit.

These people are killing the prices on many coins.

You could try one of the dealers like Chard or the London Coin Company but obviously they need to turn a profit,  at least it would give you an indication . Otherwise ebay would give you the quickest return. Whether to sell now  or not is very subjective -the old "fear versus greed "conundrum (not that I am suggesting that you are either!) Personally I am more on the former and would rather take a smaller turn now than hold out for a bigger one in the future which may or may not materialise. As has been pointed out there are going to be an awful lot of PF 70s around which will affect the price downwards in the short to medium term, although there may be a renewal of interest when the next Great Engravers coin is released, provided that issue a success. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

The Coin cabinet is highly recommended for buying and selling, just wish it had audio as well.

Prices clime on the the closing day of bidding.

Where were you told this, please? I received a package from PCGS via FedEx on Thursday, last week, and the stated value was greater than that. Is this new as of this week?

I am expecting more at the end of this month so now you have me worried!!!

I have been informed today from PCGS in Paris, they have asked me to arrange my own courier and insurance to collect my coins after grading.

They are going to phone me tomorrow after I complained.

I have coins they will not return as of today.  

BEWARE sending coins to PCGS for grading at the moment, they use FedEx to return coins and FedEx are refusing to deliver coins with a value grater than €2500 from France to the UK.
