See you in the decades to come future UK Morlocks or Eloi. 

I'm going off grid. My time is precious. Unlike my silver right now, I have the ability to adapt.

Please tell me to **** off if you like my meme.

Ignore me and carry on.

No mark but its me, I even sound like i'm dissing and moaning all of the time, even at much of the numismatic practices today.

I had a long break away from any kind of digital technology and now I just feel like i'm treading on peoples business with every word that I say these days. So I thought I would do a (FREE) Google open university course on digital marketing in order to see exactly what is going on and what has changed. And do you know what...I got a bit of the ol HG WELLS itchy feet.  Hope I have inspired at least one new collector in my ultimate quest for knowledge. See you in another 10 years..   

Thanks.

Why? I could spend hours looking for information when someone on here can answer in seconds. 

Or vice versa         

 Hey google....Example; 1925 half crown (then add) numista. = 3 seconds

Hey ebay....Example; 1925 half crown = about a minute. 

Hey SF....Example 1925; half crown = Timeless and literally priceless sometimes (see above) 

That's what I love about the forums.

Anyway I'll get my coat.

I won't sell it here

It doesn't matter where you sell your coins, you should do your own research first.

Most coins have the basic info that you require printed on them. 

Numista (a great site for mintage numbers and basic info) have kindly amended the price of them 1925 half crowns in poor condition for me

Take care.

Yes we do all sorts here

That's great, then my only other advise to the OP (after 10 hours and 250 views after posting on the silver forum) would be to never ask for advise during a sale lol.

Page 1. of flogging stuff

OP, I noticed that the silver forum is primarily set up for bullion and proof coin collectors & dealers, IMO the 50% don't really fit into either category but are treated by some members as bullion (myself included when buying). Which is understandable because they can be stacked up just like some 925 and most .999

Numismatic ADVICE and clear photos of the 1925 would be more suited on this occasion, as you ask for information above any bullion value. 

Hope this helps.

Regards.

A 50% half crown? I bought over 400 of them in December somewhere around £3.60 each

Modofantasma your secrets safe with me.  

Here is a bulk storage solution for your dry storage area while i think of it. Its a very old photo lol

if they're Pre 1920 then 92.5% they'll be worth more than that as they have more silver in 

I agree by the numista spot prices, but Its hard to judge how much weight they have lost in wear.

I have a few 1925 as they are one of the key dates with mintage over a million. and i bought mine at pre 2019 spot prices so I leave you to it and hope a nice deal is struck.

I've bought somewhere north of 30kg of old silver coinage at melt price and below in various lots over the past year and most has been in better condition.

A 50% half crown? I bought over 400 of them in December somewhere around £3.60 each here's a random selection of them for an idea of condition. I'd expect selling individually you might get a little more per coin or a small lot or if the condition is very good but like I said I don't know about key dates etc if they're Pre 1920 then 92.5% they'll be worth more than that as they have more silver in 

 

 

 

On one hand you have the bullion buyers and sellers and on the other hand you have the numismatic buyers and sellers. Never the twain shall meet and all that lol. I buy as bullion

1925 half crown is a key date. 

One in poor condition has got to be worth a tenner posted but I cant really see the condition of yours. Or just sell as scrap with the rest of them as a small added bonus for the buyer.

My impartial estimated total for the lot would be £50-£70

1925 half crown is a key date.

Is not for sale, I just ask a coin connoisseur

He must have put the con in connoisseur then lol. If you ever do decide to trade I would defiantly be interested.

Good luck.

Hi

I can't find it nowhere, anyway I do not expect to get rich by mistake ... but look what answer I got about it:

I was under the impression that you were just starting out in collecting/stacking silver and not bringing it here for sale.

Low balling a non seller is just plain weird and desperate behavior, ignore and mark as spam.

I bought it with £30

hi,

Good purchase then. Classic Taz.

Hello

I'm brand new here trying to stack/collect silver.

Hi, welcome.

I don't know how much you paid but thats a really nice vintage round.

My guess is £25-£50 for the coin (depending on its condition)  + £5 for the box + £10 for the paperwork (also depending on condition).

Nice little investment if you paid less than above.

Nice first pick up, keep stacking that vintage .999

you have an older piece of .999 than some other fellow stackers I know, well done

Numismatic interest in a UK bullion coin. There are a couple of brits I may pay over the standard amount for (but not the price of a 2020 brit for example).

The US dealers are far more consumer driven with lower overheads. Less people are into buying silver in the UK per thousand head because of the vat. so the bigger bullion dealers have to make their money where they can.

They want you to think they hate it, and do a pretty good job most of the time.

But really its their bread and butter for mopping up the gravy 😋 

What else would a socially profiled person like a stacker do with HIS/her money fiat ?

Hoard it?

So watch out with crypto currency too! e bankers invented the tec. (People almost always never pull out at the top).

Think of the choices, make the decision but face up to reality...You are GIVEN the choice.

Have a nice weekend.

I looooooove working in the rain...It is my own choice  

Impressively crisp first photo. I like 3rd side photos of coins sometimes rather than just the standard obverse and reverse.

Others slightly lose me on focus. well done, nice.

Don't apologize, it's nice to read from someone with a positive view of the future. 

Thanks Bigmark, 

It wouldn't surprise me if the b banks were behind (or at least backing) the silver squeezes.

Higher demand for gold production leads to more surplus byproduct left over to shift. Even better if they can get premium prices for it.

There is no shortage of silver if there's no shortage of gold!.

( Unless they are purposely sifting through all that gold to get all the silver out 😉 )

The silver market got too big for its own boots and is now hitting (or at least heading towards) a natural supply and demand reset for the worse. Thank you very much indeed to the silver pumpers and fear mongers on youtube.

Its OK if you like cheap silver.........FOREVER or until the gold runs out

(baa they already pumped that idea and then the opposite).

Great community here though. Some aspects of this have transpired into something good, many new stackers and collectors actually have a genuine interest in what they are doing.

Sorry for invading this post.

I'm not exactly stacking multi kilo bars (I'm interested in knowing the official biggest industrial bar as a side note).

I let you get on with breaking backs or something again now  

Please continue as if i weren'.t here.
