Well I wouldn't wait up all night for him. The way things are going you'll find him and his elves dossing in your kitchen on Christmas morning claiming squatters rights.

so guys , as gold is high now , were is a good / safe place to sell this coin , tried here no luck  ! i don't want to blow my brains entirely on it but consider i won't get my 2.5 K purchase price back! ( under stand i probably have not held it long enough but i ant getting any younger 😁) i know of a few dealer who are around here  like atkinsons  etc, any other suggestions ( not keen on e bay unless its face to face , wont send it anywhere)

I think the Royal Mint has spammed its fanbase a might too much recently with proof upon proof release and all got a bit boring. I think you'd take a chunky hit selling the coin atm. Have you thought about trading it for something you'd prefer, sovs, silver ect? A chance of holding onto more of the coins original value possibly that way.

I've had it said I look like the shelf the Elf sit's on. I think they are referring to my sleek and slender appearance. 

I've got a friend that looks like a giant tree stump.

Anyhoo back on track.

cyber weekend has tracked me £198.41 on Quidco, 239.58 on topcashback and the £175 so far from lloyds bank switch.

im grossing £612.99 at mo but some fees pending to come out of that. All in all a good start.

Now to find tat..... oh sorry quality merch for ebay

I made about £400 last year on stuff I thought about binning, and stuck on eBay instead. One person's rubbish is another person's treasure.

Cardboard to Gold baby.

Ps that fella in the video selling his Magic The Gathering cards looked like an elf!

Been listing boxes of trading cards today. Technically not in a shed but it needs clearing. As they sell, If they sell. I'll keep you posted. 

 Boxes and boxes of sealed booster boxes of Magic the Gathering

And loads of singles from the early days to quite recent.

I for one would also be livid if the revenue didn’t get their cut as prescribed by the law .. hence why I keep a full and accurate record of all transactions. Your honour. Especially needed with that CGT squeeze  

Exactly. If you don't cough up your gold who will buy Zelensky a mansion for his mansion?

I asked some of the family and was stunned at some of the replies really. From the 5 of us there only myself and one other went for option D, with one calling me an idiot I should have just taken the chance with out looking too much and bagged it for bullion. 

I'd rather have a clear conscience. When they'll all withered and droopy and it's snuffing time I bet they'd rather have no naughty marks than a bit of extra gold. You can wave at them from up above 😆

Yeah I hate Liverpool. 

Most cities these days. We had a fella selling Rolex recently. All boxed up in gift bags for Christmas. Plod seemed really keen because they had the lot off him and they must have been really pleased with the items because they even gave the chap a lift home in the back of their van. 😆

... when I'm gone actually know what they are worth and also the best place to go to liquidate them should they need to. 

You could always go for a 'Lock, Stock & Two Barrels' ending and enclose a copy of Spinks with your will.

Definitely not saying it doesn’t happen. 100% it does.
 But it’s a really common scam also. I’m distrustful so would probably say the ultra rare coin was fake and report then to Binlord of the week even if it wasn’t.

I live in a city where the town centre is chocka block scammers. My current favourite is the violin players busking on a violin linked to a small portable speaker. When they take a break and put the violin down the music keeps playing. 😆 

I've also been offered enough gold coloured brass to re-sink the Titanic. Best to keep your hands balled up into fists or you'll find yourself with more rings on your fingers than Liberace while you're queuing up at McDonalds.

I did almost donate to the stop carrying a knife campaign until I found out most of the lads running it had been done for knife possession.

Definitely a suspect confidence trick. Classic scam material. How much of a friend is this friend that recommended this buyer @ZRPMs? 🤣

I'm not so sure. My friend's shiftless braindead daughter would easily sell his gold coins at spot to whoever makes it easiest for her to get cash when he snuffs it. And she's a perfect example of an idiot coming into possession of valuable coins and letting the lot go for peanuts while the vultures circle for easy pickings.

Edited to add: Someone you hardly know recommending someone you've never met is bound to end in happiness. Probably not for you though lol.

Strange that, if someone approaches me with a suspected £10k+ coin for £400 and he doesn't even know much about coins, I'd expect that one to be fake. Not questioning the seller's integrity, but the whole scenario sounds too good to be true.

Just a quick Moral dilemma for you to mull over. A friend directs some one they've had dealings with or someone finds out you buy or are into coins or whatever. You are approached buy an unfamiliar person. They ask if you'd be interested in buying a small collection of coins (silver and Gold). On the face of it, nothing out of the ordinary. You meet up and a quick scan over the coins they look like average examples of run of the mill coins. You continue to chat and it's clear the guy doesn't know much about them apart from what he's picked up from just looking on the likes of BBP. You explain that they are usually at the higher end of the retail market for the coins and if he was to sell to them they give quite a bit less. That's understood then you get asked for your offer. However you take a closer look now and discover a super rare coin worth tens of thousands of pound going from the last time it sold. What do you do? Would you 

A, Offer him a bit more than BBP would offer but a bit less than their retail.

B, Tell him you like the collection and would give what BBP are charging for them.

C, Explain that you think there is a rare coin but that it's not worth as much as it its just to get the scoop of the century.

D, Or would you come clean and tell him that he may have a super rare coin and that its worth potentially ten's of thousands of pound at a numismatic auction. 

Had the discussion the other night with some folk and found it quite interesting what some would do. I said I don't think I'd feel comfortable with anything less than option D, Only because I wouldn't want any of my family to be in the same position with my collection should I let loose my mortal coil. I've tried to inform them but you never know.  

D for decency. A,B and C options have their own words attached to swindlers and conmen lol.

Edited to add: I'm sure the fictitious mate will be perfectly happy to see some bugger swanning around town in a Bentley bought off his mis-priced coin lol.

The guy in the video seems to assume the coins are 1 toz, but the coins look to me like they are too large to be just 1 toz assuming they are .999 fine.

Look about an ounce in the films unless Keanu has massive Kenny Everett hands.

His basement saving's was nice to see. Wasn't it 480 ounce gold coins. Now there's a goal to aim for.

Just over half a mil' isn't much for the greatest hitman known to man. He was underpaid or should have taken up footballing instead.

Others out here please kick me some more1 

Rubbed out old sov in a granny pendant. No wonder it only got one bid? You can aways flog it if you don't like it. 👍

I can imagine some old man with terminal illness and no kids pottering around town in his last few months dropping his gold off in random charity boxes. What else can you do with it if no family to leave it to? Bury it and leave it as treasure for some lucky bugger to find it decades later? Mind you, when a Pokemon card is worth more than a gold bar these days, I worry for the future of what man considers valuable. 

Maybe that sov is one of those mis-stamped misaligned bodge job rarities with extra bonus gold added. Probably not. £200 quid lol.

I’ve had 2 posts held up by the moderator for mentioning in passing a well known Coin VLOGGER. I will get my latest secretary to find out the problem - new Miss Takker! 😃

I have come close 50 times to buying Charles pf70 sovs and pulling the trigger on here they seem an absolute bargain 

But why aren't they selling? There not selling at all which is making me reluctant 

I know it's been covered a million times but someone help me out am I missing a bargain or has Charles rogered sovs 

 

 

Imo Charlie has become the Micheal Flatley of investment gold - mass marketed, cheesy, yet strangely addictive to a small pot of dedicated fans who went to all the shows, paid over the odds, and are now stuck with a load of memorabilia no one wants to buy - apart from other fans, who are snowed under with the same stuff anyway.
