    Maybe contact a dealer and negotiate a commission and let them sell it on their website or at a fair- try Martin at AMR coins- he also co- owns Hosker Haynes auction: https://www.amrcoins.com

    I didn’t respond as some kind of Chards fanboy- I rarely buy from Chards, but I do know this, as dealers go, there isn’t many surpass their guides and knowledge base- particularly their ‘old site’, which @LawrenceChardused to maintain (I’m not sure if all that content has been migrated over?). I haven’t a clue what mark-up the average large bullion dealer makes on say, £2k’s worth of bullion Sovereigns- but I’m guessing the margins are tight, and I guess Chards have thought long and hard of their business model, and decide on payments methods accordingly. You’re a winner, you saved by purchasing elsewhere and gained the knowledge they offered you for free.

    Maybe having gained all this knowledge and having being able spend ‘days reading the amazing guides’ on the Chards website- you might well have uncovered one of the reasons Chards doesn’t take credit cards- likely due to this customer service you cite, and they provide. Maintaining and servicing a comprehensive website must cost Chards a fair bit of time, effort and therefore, money. It sounds like you have gained much more than a 1% discount from Chards already- without spending with them- you have gained a lot of knowledge which you will prosper from for years to come- that they supplied to you, free of charge.

    I would return them and buy a couple of nice Sovereigns.

    The top coin is I think, a Medieval Penny- outside of my area of knowledge but when I get home from work I’ll take a look in my books.

    Wanted 2012 Sovereign 5 Coin Proof Set Please get in touch if you have a set to sell. Thank you.

    The Cedar wood lining usual weighs next to nothing, the vinyl not so much either, but the lids are usually weighted- I would say you’re likely left with a very minimum of 300g of .925 so that’s about £160 worth at spot.

    If available, I'll take this please I'll take this please

    Two lovely modern Sixpences and a Crown delivered impeccably packaged as always from @MikeSol. And three older Sixpences repatriated from the USA, won at auction.
  20. richatthecroft
    Mmm- it’s a nice Crown but like you, I think it’s been enthusiastically graded. I have one to sell- my opinion GEF/ Unc condition with lovely eye appeal.
