I am working my way through photographing and will be adding them to the Sovereign Overdate and Varieties thread.

Even if they do win it (surely always a risk) if they have multiples of a coin it potentially pushes up the market value so the risk then becomes worth it for them. There appear to be people happy to admit doing this.

There are no doubt times when people just want an item and happy to pay a lot more to win it and in reverse you can get lucky on some bargains in auction.

I like the design of the George III Military Guinea, just very expensive so I'm happy to settle on this very nice example of a Half Guinea…


 

marsh R4 1848/over 7 not the best condition but certainly one of the best and clearly defined 8 over 7 I have seen 

Can’t say I am surprised, I have always assumed there is shill bidding in most online auctions. That’s why I always set my limit and once it’s reached, I leave the lot alone.
Fully agree, this practise is just wrong but not sure this will change anytime soon unfortunately 

I guess they mastered the trick , they bid just enough to push the price without winning it , the whole point is you should not bid on your own item , simple as that .

just wanted to give you heads up , be very careful when trying to buy coins on Auctions like the coin cabinet for example , a few people have admitted that they have been shill bidding on their own coins and they are not even ashamed of it .
 
I always looked at the coin cabinet and thought something doesn't feel right  , now I know why .
one person who used to be a member of this forum admitted that he has been bidding on his own coins to make sure they don't go for a lower price than he bought them himself and he is so proud of his doing that he says he has no regrets and he would do it again and again .
Another guy said that there was fault with his keyboard and he accidentally bid like 20 times on a 2016 half sovereign which sold for nearly £1000 , and guess what ? the guy with the faulty keyboard who placed 20 bids on that coin , did not win it hahaha
Anyways be careful when buying/selling coins on auctions , there are dishonest disgusting people out there who would and are doing things like this .

If you say ‘oranges’ really, really slowly it sounds like ‘gullible’, which as you say is also not even in the dictionary.
