@WadsworthThe cheaper Griffins seem to come and go in waves, probably due to the "max seller fee" promotions that run every couple weeks. When these promotions start, sellers list at once, resulting in more choice and more reasonable price.

Then there are others that have them listed at much higher prices and are prepared to wait for someone like yourself to come along, by that I mean someone that considers buying a Griffin there and then.

If you get one for under £90 you've done well. I'd say going rate on ebay is around £100, or more broadly £90-£120. I've seen tatty looking ones go for as much as £160 although I think that was down to a bidding war. I'd wait until there is greater choice. Someone recently listed as many as a dozen of them in one go, resulting in them selling for reasonable prices. But they were selling in pairs with other coins. I considered bidding myself just because of the prices on offer.

I recently bought a slabbed one on the forum (PCGS 69) for £120 inc SD. Very minor milk spots, almost unnoticeable in most lights. I think it would be very difficult to find one better than that. There are spotless ones out there but they are very rare and of the spotless ones on ebay, some, perhaps most, will be cleaned.

I'd recommend making a wanted post on the trade section of the forum first. Hope this is of some help.

Great advice, thankyou. Good to know the approx value of the coin. I think I will be patient and wait like you say for the max seller fee promotion.

Thanks

Yes I am conflicted, It does seem like a lot of hassle to post them back again so maybe I will just accept the marks on the coins. I just wanted to see what other people usually do!

Have you tried contacting the seller and making them an offer??

I havn't actually I will send a few messages. £150 is just a bit more than I want to pay!

My last coin for the QB that I need is the Griffin. The cheapest I have found this coin is £150 on ebay. This seems like a lot, especially as the other coins I managed to get for £60-85 each! 

Is that a fair price for the Griffin coin? Or do I need to be patient? On ebay sold listings I have seen that over the last few months it has sold for £100-120 so not sure why it has shot up in price over the last few weeks!

I am worried if I leave it, it will continue to go up in price! What do people think?

Thanks!

I bought 4 Queens Beasts coins online from Gold Bank London.

3 of them had significant milk spots on them and I sent photos and they allowed me to post them back and sent out 3 replacements. 

Of the replacements, one has a very small milk spot on the queens face side (about 1.5mm) and one other has a light 2mm scratch to the queens cheek. Would you say this is acceptable and should I just keep them? They are much better than the previous ones I was sent.

I know the coins are bullion quality and so I guess I should expect some marks?

Just seeing what the forum think as I am new to collecting coins!

I too have gotten my first gold, but have also started getting the silver queens beasts, they look great!

Welcome! I am also new here and looking to get started on my silver collection!

Me too! I think you need a minmum number of forum posts before you can post new toipics

Welcome!
