Well you do so according to your appetite for risk. 

I went for doughnuts twice, fortunately still here able to tell you this.

He did also end up throwing in a 2018 1oz gold proof Netherlands Lion Dollar (with a mintage of 200). Pretty rare coin with recent sales around the $2000 range not graded. So ended up about $3k short ( Still a nice chunk of change) but as you said lesson learned. Hopefully after grading the Lion will be worth 3-4k$ Range and even out a little bit more.

Oh slight damage limitation there, maybe my words are a bit harsh initially.

He should have been crystal clear before you made the flight saying I got X and Y will this do as a deal.

Waiting till you land in Munich and then giving you the news = punk. 

Agree with Paul (safety) and that your safety and well-being is the most important aspect of this transaction. It's a good result.

Although you sold in the end, a deal was a deal and they buyer is 5k short. 

Not impressed at all with the buyer especially after assuring you no problems will arise. Whether he was genuine about this 'partner' (personally I think BS) only he will know. 

Still made good money but business is business and 5k is a lot of money. Glad you got the sale and shared this story. The lesson I have taken from here when selling anything would be to get a deposit in order to use as collateral. 

Nice guy and all - gets you no where.

It's cut throat out there and it's every man for themselves. 

Congrats on the sale and also I like the fact the sale was international and a trip was made out of it.

ooooohhhh !!!! interesting. 

London Coin Company maybe ??

 

Sorry I have no idea on the name of the company. They dealer had the same position they had last year. Anybody able to confirm the dealer's name. On the floor upstairs with a large display of coins with lights. 

Fairly prominent position upstairs. 

Can anybody name the dealer ?

£30k isn't that right @shawy2510

There’s many, many reports of people experiencing difficulties withdrawing even modest amounts of cash. 

Sadly only going to get worse. 

 I do remember seeing card terminals last time at the fair.

Can anyone else confirm ?

I have only ever been to one before and that was last year. I was in awe to see so much au and ag lying about. Unfortunately I was in a rush so didn't quite scope the prices or the pieces for that matter. 

I can't really answer your question but last time I went with empty pockets this time round I will be taking £350 cash just incase I see something I feel is worth buying. 

Definitely well worth a visit.

@Darr3nG

Last time they did have a place where jackets where stored. @Jamesd

I'm sure the helmet won't be an issue 

Oh wow it's this Sat, did not realise until the above.  

It's round the corner. 

The fair is close to Euston station, so if you wanted to get a hotel there should be many available in London. You don't necessarily need to get a hotel near Euston or central London. 

If you wanted to you can get a cheaper Hotel on the outskirts of Central London and travel to coin fair by public transport. Very easy to do.

 Buy and leave it in storage...

brexit is your only worry...

Good point, completely forgot about that.  

Tempted hmmm.

Anyone from the forum thinking of getting one but put off by the postage me too. 

Possible to maybe go split the cost of postage if anyone is interested, send me a pm.

I will see you in Vegas @silverdocket. 

Nice, just out of interest if you don't mind sharing the total damage compared to say a full Oz gold coin just as a % maybe.

Also was the source GS.be ?
