Replacement inset arrived today from @Alun to accommodate the 'Completer' in his lovely walnut wooden box.

Complete date run of bullion Silver Eagles 1986 to 2017
Centre tray looks toned but this is just lighting when taking the photo.

In my early days of stacking I too thought collecting rarer coins, proofs etc all with a premium attached would be a good idea.
I was very pleased with most of my purchases at the time.
Years later I decided to get rid of these coins especially if they were boxed due to limited storage in safe places etc.
I was extremely disappointed in the prices I obtained and nothing like the premiums I imagined would be associated with some extremely low mintages.
I sold a lot of proof American Eagles, wishing I hadn't now seeing the prices, but you just don't know how some coins appreciate whilst others fall out of demand.
It is all about interest at the time and how long you are willing to wait to find a buyer.
My advice would be to stick to high quality coins that are slightly more expensive than regular bullion.
I just purchased the Perth Mint 2023 Swan which cost me £38 rather than say £24 for a bog-standard bullion coin.
That's the premium you may expect to pay for new issue limited issue quality coins.
Hopefully the premium remains embedded in the coin.

A good starting point is to look at Australian Perth Mint and Royal Australia Mint coins with limited - say 20,000 - issues.
They are a high quality coin, supplied in capsules and generally retain their premium.
As others say - buy what you like, but don't fall into the trap of believing a coin that you paid a small fortune for will sell at a profit in later years.
 
 

State your interest - i.e. coin preference if important - weight in ounces or number of coins and your target price.

I am assuming that when you sell on eBay and they tell you the item has been paid for then by using the eBay system to post / ship you cannot go wrong.
You select the method of shipping leaving the automated created address etc to eBay.
Using a tracked service - I assume Royal Mail Special Delivery for high value items, then as you have not entered an address or made any alterations you cannot possibly be held responsible, so eBay would provide seller protection in full. So I believe.

Crickey - I didn't know that so I stand corrected.
So this is legal tender or one of those commemorative legal tender coins that you cannot spend in the shops ?

Hard to believe that there were so many bids on this plated base metal coin which sold for £110.
Have bidders got confused with the 999.9% 2 oz silver version perhaps ?

Which auction and where was it held ?
So the winner pays a huge fee and the seller loses a chunk of change as well.
Trotters Independent Traders comes to mind.
