2006 Gold Proof £1 Egyptian Arch

Featuring the Dublin-Belfast railway Egyptian Arch Bridge designed by Sir John MacNeill, a one time associate of Thomas Telford, this 2006 £1 coin was designed by wood engraver Edwina Ellis. Although the rarest of the four coin gold collection (mintage just 1,195) it is, sadly and undoubtedly, the least attractive - more Edwina Currie than Ellis.

The coin is the penultimate individually minted au round £1 to enter my ongoing collection (now 23 designs), just the 2015 4th Portrait remaining elusive.

My thanks to @Earthmetal for a magnificent example of this proof pug...and also to @MancunianStacker for starting me on this auric snark-hunt.

Superb photos!

Hover over the text "posted x minutes ago" and it will tell you the time of the post.

My "1042" was 16.59.

Fenlander's "£1044" was 17.01 as was my £1045

In that case your bargain is three quid better! After all, rules is rules...

The art of the snipe is one I'm well versed in. This is for a client who is especially keen to add it to his collection but a bargain by any measure.

Okay, as it's not contested by @Fenlander1 then @arphethean is the winner! Well done, I think you have a very good deal indeed.

Thank you all who placed bids.

It's over? Ohh I should really start reading the small print in full 😆

Congratulations @arphethean

I should have been intelligent enough to have posted a reminder!

Aargh, I was outside and missed the end!
Any idea how I get a time stamp as I can't see one!

I don't care if we go double spot, I just want to beat you.

There's special clubs you can both visit for that kind of thing.

Sorry James read the rules:

To rule out any confusion, as a rule I don't like rules. But as the ruler of this thread I can make exceptions.

£960

So £1,460 total, thanks very much.

**Stuh** · May 11

Will I regret this? Let's find out!

As I don't like rules, there is no reserve, no minimum bid, and the bid increments are whatever you like.
Auction ends on Sunday the 12th of May at 5pm. If you're considering a last-second snipe the time will be taken from whatever my computer screen states, this could possibly differ from yours!

The winning bid is for the coin, capsule, & certificate of authenticity, and will include postage by Royal Mail Special Delivery (within mainland Britain).

I've not opened the capsule but the coin looks very, very nice to my eyes.

**Arne** · May 11

£232 including Special Delivery.

In lovely clean, damage-free condition
Purchased a couple of years ago from a reputable auction house (I paid too much by mistake, hence no offers sorry), described as 15 carat, the example with two stones was described as a "Diamond brooch" but I know nothing about stones I'm afraid.
Both are marked "15C".

Nope, they have a habit of double tapping themselves in the back of the head whilst their hands are tied behind their backs, all the while swinging from a tree by their necks. It's an amazing feet of dexterity and ability

Experts are baffled...

Anything for anonymity. Must conform. No distinguishing colour, no unusual choice of make/model, blacked out windows...

Don't know about BMW, but if you're buying a new Audi, standard colours are black or white, anything else is a £2K add-on, metallic is £3k and the super matt finish metallic is £4k.

That's 2oz of gold just for the paint job!

What! You mean people actually pay extra for those Wheelie-Bin Grey paint jobs?

Where is that special lane for BMW, mate? Here maybe?🤔

I always associate grey or black BMWs with low intelligence, and thought I was wrong/harsh to do so. Obviously not.
