Very, very nice, but did you really have to put it right after my 50 quid worth of silver!!!??? Making me look like a cheapskate? Which I am to be fair.🤣🤣🤣

I like your £50 quids worth, actually going to scoop a 1977 next time I see one got offered 10 of them not so long ago for £12.50 each wished I'd taken them 🤣

Updated to say auction house made error with weight of Angel, immediate refund no issues so credit to them for that.

Picked this up from Ngc yesterday

🥰. Not bad for nearly 70 years old. Hope I look that good at that age.

Man that's a great result. What a coin!

A coin stamped as 1/10oz but being actually 1/5oz? Now, that's something I would be really curious to see...

Regarding the coin from the auction, this is its edge and that does not look like a piedfort one...

Anyhow, BBP's current price for this coin would be £135.50 so not that much less than the winning bid incl. delivery.

Thanks, still in two minds as to kick up or take the potential hit.

I checked my notes - 2008 had a full range of piedforts. It may very well be that you have a 1/10 disguised as a 1/20

Thanks for that @ilovesilverireallydo cost to me is £140 Inc delivery so going to get it sent, I then have a bargain or a very expensive 20th 🤣

I am not sure I recall a 1/20 piedfort - that doesnt mean it didnt exist, as all the other denominations certainly existed as a piedfort. I have a 1/10 that is actually double size and its really a 1/5 despite being stamped as 1/10. Isle of man dont release mintage numbers or details regularly which means its hard to tell which years had piedfort proofs. A side profile photo would certainly help. 

Thank you, I've looked everywhere can't find one.

I'm about to go to bed, but:

There's something in my mind...the 1/20 Angel was a piedfort so was actually 1/10!

@ilovesilverireallydo knows all about this.

Hang on before you shout too loudly 😎 👍

Thanks Roy @ilovesilverireallydois that correct?

What was wrong with the Angel?  Oh I just noticed they call it 1/10 when it is 1/20.

I've emailed them , when sticking in bids from a phone you depend on a description, I wasn't bidding on 1/20 but 1/10 so won't be paying See how that goes down.

Which means that they weren't doing much of a good job for the seller.

If genuine, it might be worth £10K depending on condition, which is also difficult to tell from the "snaps".

Didn't know, didn't care!

 

I did also think that, 2 minutes to look a coin up in Spink, would have then warranted investigation

Actually, somewhat to the auction house's credit, it could be argued that they clearly indicated by their low estimate for such a rare coin that they didn't believe the coin to be genuine and so worth just the gold content. I know, probably it was not intentional and the auction house simply had no idea. But the warning sign of low estimate was there, just the bidders thought they knew better, as usual.

Also, the terms of the auction are such that anyone who offered so much money under such conditions for this lot almost deserved to be fooled...

 

I did think the estimate ment they couldn't have known. 

Wow! Thank you all, not a great bargain after all.

As @Foster88 asked:

Do you have a link to the auction?

That way, some people can see what it's about and have a stab at answering your question.

Thank you

Well only had the one win but a 1/10 for well under spot I'll take 😁

It looks like it’s a London Mint sovereign or a questionable London Mint Sovereign.

There are very few that survived the melting pot to pay for war debts.

Thank you, a 1912 just went 380 so was baffled

Just watching an auction this 1917 sov went for mad money, any idea why? 

Long as the price is right, I always work out what actually the gold content is and pay accordingly, if I like the coin will pay more.

Welcome

The obsession continues…! Couldn’t resist getting a second Black Panther silver mask from the supremely talented @StBeesSilver. With the Black Panther 2 movie’s release later this year I thought it’s only right (well that’s my story and I’m sticking to it 😏). The the differentiation from the 1st one I got with the iridescent stating is perfect. Also the 1/12 and 12/12 COAs are a nice touch. There are still a couple more left of the 12 if anyone wants to get one.
 

Icing on the cake is I discovered that they fit perfectly into a couple of Scottsdale stacker bar boxes I was going to either sell or chuck, result!

Pure quality

I'm South Oxon if ever anything you after I'm selling happy to meet at Biker Cafe near Wallingford. 

Greetings
