I asked him why he listed a 4K coin owned by a Greek seller and then changed his pictures to a sub £500 coin are you trying to mislead buyers and this was his reply - Yes I do sorry about that, the coin was in my parents house across the country and I didn’t have any pictures, just looked up the coin and used the photos for a day. Swapped them out now to the actual coin. Didn’t realise the other was different. May I ask, what makes the other coin so much more valuable? You seem like you would know. Many apologies, Frankie

That's a different coin than was originally listed with no returns.

Just spotted this listing of a nice 1852 shield sovereign and noticed the picture shows it is mounted in a holder, so I did a search and seems to be the same MS64 coin as owned by some other seller. I suspect as this seller has not mentioned its grade and the low selling price it must be a scam. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/395314258688?itmmeta=01HTNH6WT7ZBKXGRKRSYCKYKCT&hash=item5c0a90e300:g:PgQAAOSwEUpmDWpb&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwNqoZGPiIYZimpN%2FxYNbDEb5BIyaasRE2VWesrawpdbXJ6Ho6TqangwPWEBvtZhAo9DcZUSLv8bnqbkkOIlcMKId0jQEHwSHp355X1khixUErl7HPhnpKNo744ctJGxmMB1rkpv2JX7NlbiFXg45I5FJ2uitiCl4jkqnXfO0pIKC4MsONt6kSzFwdAV64RJHS1gp0OynJiY%2Bla43boLtWCR4OXgvcvfx5lP4dQhL0IU5QnY%2B4taxdbgW%2Fj7lu0hcrw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR77Nm7HVYw https://www.ma-shops.co.uk/numisempo/item.php?id=1361

Good pictures, I have struggled to get good pictures, any advice?

Thank you for your reply, having the type 2 above now in hand, I do not think its actually a rotated C, which is the only reason I purchased it. londoncoins.co.uk and others are claiming it is. My camera is rubbish so I will see what I can show when the light is better tomorrow but there are a few I took earlier on an old I-phone and the original photo. It seems to look different from every angle Original

I am trying to find more information on the 1861 rotated C in Victoria variety sovereign. Is there any way to check the variants identified. Are there two or more types? Type 1: The Bentley collection listed one type with a 90 deg clockwise rotation on the "C" which also had an R over R error. The Marsh book pictures this "C" over 90 Deg C as 44B (R2), Spink Book does not show a picture. I have seen several of this version online. Type 2: Different from the above where the "C" seems inverted 180 deg possibly, all this version I have seen have over stamps on the Victoria V, I and date also a die crack at D in DEI. Also someone selling this second version here - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125735351145?hash=item1d46693369:g:gBsAAOSwV0Bjz-qL&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwMWOPf1yL%2BY50u1%2B5NRbCLei6CwNWuJ93U%2BKW%2B0yNKhkO%2Bn3oGP2NjZSxMl79%2F7vYyZbTuDy4vtBqVShHxrZj5jM6JL1nUYPvq%2FbK6l%2BTWK1B2cpSKzpehsLhiP3xy00on9OW26BkJER4WHq4NuzCO4nsgZm8BluSv1ABi9wg4RfNIk5%2BX2Jp%2FyVQqtoLHTYnANiiAY%2BCMjw%2F3LGKDCrTjV90uD5PG1Ybn4SShM9y0zey%2FmqXak6%2BTITAg3VjjEY7g%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9rNusKaYw The reason I ask is I purchased a Type 2 above thinking it was the one referred to in Spink and Marsh books but now realize the type 2 is probably a different version? My first shield and was hoping for some input and also value of type 2

Yes please

Are these sold now?

I agree, these is another thread about spunking, Gold deals UK & Europe.

I ordered 8 and they cancelled, they offering something else but going to get a refund I think.

The Tesco Credit Card transaction for bullion sovereigns with Hatton Gardens has cleared and to my surprise there is Zero additional payment charges.

My Paypal balance is empty now, so pay with card on eBay but thinking about it I guess using Paypal linked to a card give double protection if the need be. I stopped also when you had to link in your bank but started recently just to clear out some old stuff, it may not be worth the grief if I will get a nudge letter too. Apparently they have come down hard on Youtubers this your as well, its all linked into that connect software now.

I would have thought if you are loading Paypal with cash money from a credit card to send to a friend would be a cash transaction as you are sending cash. I would have also thought Paypal would have charged you a loading fee as well. I miss the days when eBay used Paypal, I know 3 people who received nudge letters from HMRC this year.

I haven't used my Tesco credit card to buy gold since the charges in January but after starting this post I ordered a coin from Hatton Gardens I clicked the wrong card as I was logged into Google and my cards are stored in there and clicked on my Tesco CC by accident, coin has been dispatched but payment on the card is still showing as pending, no charges listed as yet. I will update when payment clears.

Also due some bullion from Chards ordered weeks ago with capsules. The last 5 in capsules were scratched but without capsules fine.

I am thinking its to do with what product code is allocated to the transaction. I purchased bullion coins which may have a different transaction code from investment gold or proofs when buying form Royal Mint. It does clearly say in the Tesco Card terms that a cash withdrawal incurs the said charges. But other members on hear buy happily from Atkinsons with the Tesco card to collect points.

Thank you for your reply. I forgot to say I am in the UK, maybe rules are different in the US?

Anyone know which bullion dealers do not process purchases as cash transactions? My first sovereign purchase was in January and I used Tesco credit card to purchase from the Royal Mint and was charged a £35 fee plus daily interest on top, very expensive. Since then I have been purchasing with my debit card. I understand you do not get these cash transaction fees when buying from Atkinsons anyone know which other dealer are safe to purchase with credit cards without these cash fees or which credit cards do not charge these fees? I was looking to purchase some items from Hatton Gardens but delayed as I struggled to get an answer from them on their web chat.

Agreed if ordering over 3 it works out to be the best price at the moment.

Delivery is £11 and they want id before you place any order.

I would like to thank @Spyder for the lovely 1oz silver coin which was received promptly at the end of the competition. My first silver and I think it's a beautiful. Very generous to do a free competition and a credit to the forum.👌

When my trades are complete I will leave. My intentions were good.

Seems you have a 2005 now, pm me if this is for sale.
