Stunning set of coins recceived today. Shame about the quality. 😭 

Missing frosting around Rims and dings on the QA, missing frosting and black bits on rim of Portrait but portrait herself looks stunning though. 

Still looks stunning as a set.

In 2 minds to keep or try for exchange. 

Nothing to lose try an exchange.

08 - 09 Apr 2022 10:00 BST (2 day sale)
Potteries Auctions room

I took a quick look at their "Additional fees apply" link:

c.  Sellers commission rate is 16% + VAT on lots sold with a hammer price of over £101. Lots sold for £100 or less are charged at 25% + VAT. There is also a lot fee of £3 per lot.

It makes me wonder how and why this auction manages to stay in business, apart from the fact it make huge profit margins with its fees, commissions and other charges. What I really don't understand is why anyone ever uses it to sell anything, or why anyone buys from it.

Let's assume someone was stupid enough to pay the intrinsic value of a genuine sovereign (£346), they would need to deduct enough from their bid, divide by 1.3, to leave £266. If they paid by credit card, and wanted the item posting insured, this would cost another £18 + 8% of the sale price (about £46), so £220.

The seller would be paying 16% + VAT = 19.2% commission, so would receive less than £185!

@MJCOIN Are you thinking of asking the auctioneers is the coin is genuine, and how they know?

😎

 

Well written and informative 👏

Here’s my 1817 to compare- it’s NGC graded MS62- it’s just back from NGC after re- holdering, as the slab was scratched.

Beautiful coin 🪙 👌

This is my most prized piece, weighs about 100 grams but its value (of what I am unsure) is certainly well in excess of the silver content, I just think its such a cool peice of modern military's history. Purchased from the man himself who was relocating to Australia. 

I have a digital copy of the citation - this was taken from that.

"Royal Signals RSI silver medal awarded to SGT RH Richardson in 2016. Awarded for his role in providing close communication support during civil unrest and the conduct of flawless tactical operations to preserve sensitive material frequently whilst under direct personal threat."

 

Absolutely Smashing.

10 oz Quartered Arms update. Our photographer took some high res images of the areas @BackyardBullion pointed out. The marks definitely don't appear as bad as we first thought. Most of it was on the capsule. It's actually a nice condition coin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excellent, wish I could get anywhere near them photos.

Cheers.

@JeffM Your man fat comment made you a legend!!!!!!!   I know things can get lost in translation.  I know over your side of the pond some states sell beer in larger beer bottles called Growlers.    If you told the guys here you drink beer from a growler I swear to god you would get a standing ovation! 

Just to say Royal Mint, says my sotd is despatch. Should be here tomorrow or next day.

If the proof with a mintage of over 13500 sold out in a day or so and now commanding a premium a sotd will sell out within an hour.     Some new buyers won’t get it but same conversations with the 2017 sotd and proof set went on and can see the drive levels of them now.    I don’t think this will be the last special sov for the jubilee but will be up there with the most sought after.     If they come up for £650 again I’ll be surprised would expect £850+

That is a good view I also think the same.

I have had a look around for the 2022 proof sovereign.

Price seems pretty high, anyone knows of any going around £650 probably  understand it's no, but worth asking.

Cheers gazer.

Sorted Riversidebanksilver had one great dealing with.

And thanks to James32.

@Shepand @SilverJacks - since you asked about where this could still be preordered at a good price.

https://ukgoldcoins.co.uk/product/the-platinum-jubilee-of-her-majesty-the-queen-2022-celebration-sovereign/

They have 4 in stock and priced at £699 which is not too far from RM’s £675.

Just checked its now £799 sorry says last one.

Looks higher to me only thing that could of hurt the grading is the marks on the cheek and nose 

Thanks but I'm still convinced higher.

Three coins back from grading this week.

The two platinum proof Britannia’s did very well.

The Sydney mint sovereign is a lovely coin and I did think it would do better than AU55. 

I'm no expert but I would assume more than a AU55, can anyone explain why so we can know what to look for?

Now that is a nice little collection, something to aim toward thanks for showing. 

 

 

Great collection, more close up please if possible. 

Hi all I'm just starting again after a few years to get into stacking silver, I'm only going to buy scrap silver ie pre 20 

Does anyone know anybody selling scrap silver, but being honest I'm after buying for around spot prices.

It's just for collecting for around 5 years.

Cheers.
