That's the way to stack. An amazing achievement. You've got time now to get another two to finish off the other 7 years of your goal. Well done.

Absolute belter of a bar at under spot price too!! 🤯 At the end of the day the forum can be very much dog eat dog at times sellers are free to sell to who they want, it's a shame the op felt inundated with rules and advice.

Yep It was a lovely bar and as mentioned prior, The seller can sell to who ever he wants.

I know this is probably more banter than anything, but I have checked all the timestamps and the sale was agreed with me before you placed your bid, not by a few minutes either, was a good 30 mins before when the sale was agreed and a few hours before when we started negotiations.

I'm over it. I was really annoyed at the time and it was only rekindled when you stated no body wanted it in your vid. Not sure if you were aware of the auction. However, Honestly I don't know why anyone would agree a sale having started an auction, let alone waiting 30 min's to withdraw the auction after agreeing to sell through private messages so the rest of the forum were unaware. I bid as soon as I saw the auction and it was still live as I typed.

I'm more than happy with the purchases I made as a result of not buying the bar/ square. I do feel OP acted quite disingenuous, and as such the resulting banter should be expected. After all you wouldn't expect to turn up at a auction house and part way through the auction or bidding the auctioneer say's thanks to those that have left bid's or bid be we've already sold it. I know on occasion, items are pulled but this is done with Immediate effect, if for what ever reason an item is pulled.

I'm sure you can understand that if auctions on the forum were usually run this way, were a private message and sale agreement could stop an auction mid flow, nobody would bother bidding. What would be the point, only for it to be cancelled.

Moving on I feel OP got less than he could have and I know for a fact that I was prepared at the time to go to £3,700 (£740 a kilo, as per my wanted ad). So in my eyes he's only done himself out of funds.

I have already bought mine too 🌞

@ZRPMs if you sell your Beauty Queen carriage you will get back into black in one hit 🥳

I bought it for the little one. It's hers. If I ever sold it she would never speak to me again. I call her my little princess and she really believes she is. She had it when she was 3 and what other little one has a carriage like that if they're not a real princess right.

There is some footage of it from it's first use back in 1953/4 In Anglesey but here's a few pictures from it's early days.

What will it cost ?

So based on todays prices

1oz gold Britannia = £1650

1 full sovereign = £385

x5 sovereigns = £1925

This works out as follows

Daily cost:

1oz gold Britannia = £1650 / 365 days = £4.52 per day

1 full sovereign = £385 / 365 days = £1.05 per day

x5 sovereigns = £1925 / 365 days = £5.27 a day

Weekly cost:

1oz gold Britannia = £1650 / 52 weeks = £31.73 per week

1 full sovereign = £385 / 365 days = £7.40 per week

x5 sovereigns = £1925 / 365 days = £37.07 per week

Monthly cost:

1oz gold Britannia = £1650 / 12 months = £137.50 per month

1 full sovereign = £385 / 12 months = £32.08 per month

x5 sovereigns = £1925 / 12 months = £160.41 per month

I think @Paul your costings on the initial post explain why myself and a couple other have decided to purchase already. At the time I bought my 1oz Brit at £1,850 it was under spot.

Anyway, To close April out I have already bought as part of this Christmas savings club, pushing me in to the red. As and update I bought

1oz 2014 Britannia @ £1,850.00

1937 sovereign PF63 @ £3,000.00

So my spends for the savings club outside my normal collecting are £4,850.00.

To date, From the proceeds of clearing out sheds and surplus MTG Collection I have made net sales of £1,481.20

Leaving me in the red for -£3,368.80

Just keep an eye on the premiums. Another buying tip may be to hold off buying every week if the price is high but put the funds aside ready for a little downward movement and then you may also get a bulk buy discount.

I saw it when it was originally listed for sale as a BIN. I had contacted the seller about it at the time of the BIN with a backup offer of £3525.

Subsequently the seller and I then agreed the sale. Having read this thread I think it would have been a case of just get it sold and thats exactly what we did.

Sorry if I have annoyed anyone, not intentional

Off for some port. Life's a little too short to argue.

I'm sure @backyardbullion will be mortified and is a completely innocent party here.

you've taken it very well - well played!

At the end of the day It's only fiat and metal. The smaller kilos are most likely better anyway.

Webpage saved in case edited and @ChrisSilver needs to investigate.

It's Fine. OP can sell to whom ever he want's Just felt it was a bit of bad form. No ill feelings to @BackyardBullion Think he's genuine and may have not even known about the auction. It was up for sale prior. But why cancel the auction if it went in the end for my starting bid.

I was ready to bid up to £3750 in a fair auction fight with @ZRPMs and I would be more than happy to have it in my stack.

Fact: @ZRPMs bought next day 5 x 1kilo bars for £3900.

Ended up with 8 my old chap, and an ounce brit. along with 5 sovereigns. Even posted them on TIR

Well, I can't seem to react to anything as my Platinum membership is showing as basic (despite the usual DD clearing today). Anyone else having problems? 🤷‍♀️

@Sovhead Not sure if you have blocked me but you have not read the message I sent you 2 hours ago and show as left conversation on any previous pm exchanges we have had. I did message you on the original sales conversation too as I did not at first notice you showed as left conversation.

If you are not happy with this coin you are welcome to return it and I will refund and cover the return postage. Alternatively as spot has dropped I will refund the difference from what you paid and your advertised sales price (plus the postage you pay to ship to the buyer) as I cant imaging this will not sell at spot posted. Could the next person to read this please respond to it and tag sovhead as I am not sure he will see this if he has blocked me, I do not like the thought of someone being unhappy with a coin I have sold them and would like to see this resolved and make sure the buyer is not out of pocket.

@Sovhead Not sure of what has transpired but any and all deals I've had with @Orpster has always ended with my complete satisfaction. Send him a message.

Should I go for half sovereign or full? Would like to know people opinions.

Think @James32 hit the nail on the head. In so much as the half's have a slightly higher premium. I would add that when I started the full were easier to come by. Not sure if this was a local anomaly to me or not. However, there are more variations of the full over the half so date runs might be easier to find in the full sovereign over the half. Certainly halves become rarer the further back you go, especially for certain years. Another good idea if your going to concentrate on sovereigns is to pick up a reference book.

I have this It's proved worth it's weight in fiat.

I like bars, @James32 you buying much lately.

Will you send the 89 for conservation and grading or not bother?

Most likely not bother for the time being. At some point in time I would love to fetch the collection together and work out a way to store them but still be able to display them, so they can be viewed and enjoyed. Hoarding them in a small box in a vault seems to me to not be doing justice to them. They were in essence a coin for circulation.
