verrachi

In the process of evaluating my Silver stack and took some photos to share

@daca some of the antique pieces photos (10 oz Monarch Precious Metals Dragon vs Viking Ultra High Relief Silver Round)

only 5 months to get an undamaged one - is this a personal best for The Royal Mint ?  🙄🙄🙄

It’s arrived, looks fabulous:



 

I now predict that Gold will crash in excess of $1000 from here and it started today, see you at $400-$600 area guys and gals!

If i survive corvid I think i'll get mine graded 👍 

Agreed ... and looks like the mintage of the gold is down to 8888 this year from 20000 for 2019 and 25000 in 2018

Absolute comedy central.  0.5% rate cut and the DJIA is currently 450 points down.  History in the making.  Who's betting on the PPT intervening again like they did on Friday to ensure that gold gets slapped back down 'where it belongs' and DJIA closes in the green?  
Edit: make that 550 points down! 

Only available here in China. Pm me I could ship you 

Thanks Paul
Good buying and investing though!   Them were the days £175 for a sovereign! Do you remember there was only about 10 of us on the forum per day and it was a competition who could get the cheapest gold. 

forgot, it would be less 10% sellers commission minus -£2,200 so £19,800 current price

Coin Cabinet's gold una & lion on auction is now at £22,000 with 9 days still to run, already well over the last eBay auction sale a few days back

Finishing in next 14 hours, end 6am GMT of all random times if any fancies a follow
Currently at £18,100 with x23 bids and x96 active watches on it

Last Coin Cabinet auction ended £27,000 for PF70 gaded
I wonder what this will end at tomorrow ??

Just for dreaming...
If I flipped 3 of my 4 silver Una at these inflated prices (supposing they are all PF70 of course), I would make a nice profit and it would lower my investment for both the remaining  silver  and my gold Una at...190€...for both ! Not bad 

Unbelievable...Note the time (US Eastern Time). I received an email Alert at 3:52.
 

For a £20000 item would you risk it???

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. 
 
 
 

Hhhmmmmm........ thats a bit cheeky in my opinion, especially only finding out once you landed/paid for flights etc. 
Not the end of the the world i suppose, though since an agreeable deal was made but you arm is kind of forced by then to accept or you are out of pocket a few $1000 for flights/hotel etc no sale and still have coin
Word is your bond kind of a thing when you agree to a deal, well at least that is how I am .
Still a good postive sale, and good news a sale was made and money exchanged. A nice profit and some extra gold for your stack @ShaolinStacker
Nice as well, the forum has been useful in facilitating or maybe even influencing a deal, and international cross border deal at that !  

@Paul @sovereignsteve
Yes, sale went through. I ended up canceling the Ebay auction and flying to Munich Germany to deliver the coin for cash. After thoroughly reading the ebay and paypal policies. Neither of us felt safe going through either of them. Turns out the buyer is a member here on the forum, and was reading this thread as we were discussing it. Transaction went well... Other than upon landing in Munich. The buyer messaged me saying that "his partner backed out of the deal and he could only pay me $24,000 and a 2018 Netherlands Gold Lion dollar($2000 in my Estimate) $26,000 total(19,950 Pounds)" instead of the agreed $29000(22,255 Pounds). I was really upset, and felt taken advantage of a bit. As he promised me multiple times he already had the money. After travelling half way across the world I decided to give him the coin at the price. After Flight, Hotel, food, and 3 days missed work I ended up taking home about $23,000. Before leaving Germany I converted the $$ to 4x 100G gold bars and 7 Victoria Jubilee sovereigns. Came home and sold 1- 100 gram bar to pay the CC from purchasing the coin. All, and all worked out pretty well other than the last minute stiff on a few thousand. I figure that with the $750 I would have paid Ebay and the 4% I would have paid Paypal kinda broke even.(I'm guessing thats what the buyer was counting on as well)

Oups, I did not read you already opened the capsule !
However, I maintain my feeling about it...keep it
Edit : sorry,  I mistakenly deleted my original post

Bidding now at £22,500, the last eBay auction from 21st Jan ended at £24,600
Live bidding starts at 3pm GMT - all this popcorn is making me fat 
 
 

Holy mollolly - was at £18,000 last time i looked.  I should really get a better hobby than following these Gold una & Lion sales 😣

Well Done on the sale !!!   I think i should get 10% of your hammer price for my stellar research, timely updates, thoughtful analysis, and miss marple detective work of bidders & sales, thus pushing the market up to these dizzy heights ! 🙄🤣

Thanks! Accepted first offer of $30,000 + Shipping. Still haven't received payment. Buyer has been in communication. Will have another 24 hours to pay. After that will have to cancel 

looks like our shaolinstacker has listed their Gold Una & Lion up in USA, as he said he may 
$39,999 USD  / £30,439 GBP
item number #202885622616
Will be inetresting if it sells stateside, if the appeal is there for it
