Shep

I seldom post on this thread, in fact - only one post so far - but i felt it was time to make it 2 posts.
A massive thank you to @arphethean for a great trade-in deal to enable me to own this beauty... 🥰

 

My first 1oz Gold Bullion coin 😁 🥳 🎉 - keep looking at it like it's all dream and it'll vanish!
You were all right - they are amazing in hand, so much nicer than any picture - especially with my dodgy photo skills 🤭
Never thought in a month of Sundays would I be able to make a post like this, but with the help of quite a few members on the Forum (especially Mr Hoover himself - @James32 for the encouragement to go for this lovely coin & @Paul for convincing me even a 'normal' geezer like me can do it!).  I've bought wisely, sold occasionally and finally traded my way to a 1oz Gold Britannia - Thank you all, it's much appreciated 👍

Sticking to the current sovereign theme, I got this little tiddler today, a quarter. You know its going g to small, but jeez it's tiny..

Now in the case with its bigger siblings. Once the sovereign sized hole is filled, then job done, and one happy as Larry owner!

Arrivals from the last couple of days:
The 1918i and 1895m from @Nick1368 1876s from @Sh97if and the 1877s/78s/79s shield sovereigns were from Atkinsons 

 

 

Thank you for the tag modofantasma, and welcome to the forum GucciA1997!
I agree with previous comments. TSF would ideally be the best place to sell your gold nugget. However, provenance (where it came from) and proof of purity (anything will do but an XRF test is more reliable) will help sell the nugget, especially as you are a new member with 0 trading feedback.
From my experience, at the moment, higher premium gold and silver (precious metals with significant % increase over spot price) are generally harder to sell, unless specifically sought after.
I personally have about 1ozt of high purity gold nuggets for sale with XRF test pictures and reliable provenance but they are not moving in this market (which makes sense at the end of the day... people want to accumulate with the best prices in the face of socioeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty). So I believe you might find it hard to sell here, unless you really lower premiums on it.
The fact nuggets aren't refined to 9999 purity, don't contain a nice image or purity stamped on it, also makes it unnatractive to most stackers (from my experience in the forum), making it a sort of a niche on here. If you have any other info, or a price in mind, feel free to send me a private message so I can help out

Nice fingerprint.
£1.05 postage…..more than the coin is worth!

It'll probably been a tube of x25 returned proofs 

Final update! 2 weeks ago I received the fake coin back in the post, with a different envelope and a hand-written address. I have no idea how this made it's way back to me. Maybe returned to my previous house and the new occupant repackaged and posted to me?
I called PayPal to get the case re-opened stating it had turned up after being AWOL for a month, took hostage photos with the coin in front of The Times homepage with the day's date, and posted it back to the original sender with a hand drawn smiley face on a post-it.
Just got the full refund today from PayPal!!!! JUSTICE (and I'm actually up £100 from RM's refund and PayPal's feel-sorry-for-me pay-out)
The saga is finally over.
 

On point advice from the members above. Many of us have been in the boat of buying a coin with insufficient knowledge/research, it's the lessons we learn that are important. You have eBay's purchasing guarantee, I personally would use it. The seller has dropped their guard and offered a partial refund, although this isn't an acknowledgement that they agree with you it may help if you need to involve eBay themselves. Before that I would send a message to the buyer stating it's not as described and would only be worth the same as a bullion sovereign (spot plus a couple of percent), therefore you would like a full refund. This is what I would do personally, your path is your choice obviously.
The chance of a proof issue from this period being fake is slim, although anything is possible, so you do have small lump of gold in your hand. It's just not worth the collectible proof premium.

Could do with some better pictures. Some of the obverse also perhaps?
Nothing immediately jumps out at me that is screaming fake. The dark spot on the horses neck looks to be just some of the frosting missing, which isn’t unheard of or particularly suspicious for the Royal Mint.
Other positives are that the COA, capsule and box (from what i can see) all look Royal Mint genuine issue for the given year. 
The coin is as you say clearly tarnished, but this can probably be resolved should you wish. If it was sold as a “10/10 proof” and you’re not happy with its condition you probably ought to think about sending it back, unless you can’t find one for a similar price from another source.

Welcome to the forum.

When I saw the topic title, I thought...
WFT (What) is that about?
But then I thought, maybe it's someone who likes great music, and is a Beatles fan:
Still sounds good after all these years!
Then I looked at "My internet betray me today...", and thought...
Huh? did he type "Help" into Google, and it failed to read his mind, and tell him the value of 4 coins he owns. Google is just c**p!
But then...
Ah, he's not English, so be kind, although @TheShinyStuff has got it right "What do you want to know? Looks like the coa has most of it covered."
Then it turns out you (possibly) already knew all that " The value of course. Please check all pictures, both COA are visible"
So then I thought: WTF (Why) didn't you tell us what you wanted to know in the first place.
Why should we all have to check all the pictures to try and work out what you have got, despite 2 of the certificates being only partially visible.
It was even hard to work out how many coins you had.
You could have listed them to save people from having to work it out.
Then you responded "Nobody looks to all pictures?".
WTF should we? they're your F****** coins. Right?
 
Hey, why don't you ask your supplier alll about them, presuming you bought them, rather than acquiring them by some other means?
In case you did not notice, the "Certificates" are signed by Michael J. Byrne, of The  Jubilee Mint. They are in Bournemouth, Dorset, like a lot of other Coin Marketing Companies. Why don't you contact them and ask what your coins are worth?
I was surprised to see they are still in business, but apparently they are. 
At about this point, I rapidly got annoyed by the whole thread, and appalled at your lack of ability to communicate clearly or politely, for example:
"Yes, way less but now I more confused than before, please have a look.", and some photos of a completely different yellow coloured coin, no size, no weight stated, "Is only my imagination or is worth more then silver weight? Regards
No wonder @TheShinyStuff responded "?"
At least you started your topic title with a capital letter. One point for that.
Now, am I scoring this out of 10, or should it be in percentage terms?
Next!
