Sorry was trying to pry, I understand the position of a saying local shop then listing a shop location. 😅

Always nice to go a pick up coins locally

Coin fair, or a nice coin shop / dealer?

Nice start to the collecting journey 

Great information here thanks for taking the time to write the article, I'm sure many will find it helpful and beneficial when they come to do a sales post!

What about if we maybe..... "insert stupid suggestion here"

You now have the option to also splash 10k for a share in his " European, refurbished rental air B&B" business 🤥😟

Hello and welcome, hope you find what your looking for. The forum is a great resource for both gaining information and new purchases. Don't be afraid to ask genuine people happy to help here.

doesn't exactly scream confidence

Where do I sign??

Personally I like both half and full sovereign coins. They are both liquid coins, yes the half has a slight premium over the full, but normally this is representative in the re-sale price also. So unless your selling to a dealer there is huge disadvantage from my point if view.

Some really good clean clear photos on here, great to see the variety of knowledgeable people on here sharing information not just on coins.

seems everyone is more interested in the photo then trying to answer the question of what are the likely hood of this coin being a fake

Not sure what you looking for as an answer, people commented on the photo as that's the best way of judging if the coin you are talking about appears fake. If its a general quest, again people have asked why do you think this particular coin? There is a chance that all coins could be be fake, if some one has faked them. Even if not at the time of original releaseor any time in the last 100 years'ish.... are you hoping for a response of yes 100% some people have specifically faked a 1925 SA hald Sovereign?

Does seem to be slowly creeping up now. Spot price went up over 1% today

So I was right? 

I think we have confused him, 🤣 

Thanks @ChrisSilver tgought there would be a way of doing it, when it doesnt just appear on their recent on profile.

For some reason I couldn't type or delete on previous msg, @Rob81 was trying to say always worth comparison between RM and other trusted website sellers.

looking at other sellers than my default of the royal mint

Is there a way to click on a profile of an individual and see their selling post. Have notice in some topics where in general discussion user "X" has "Y" for sale. But then you can't quickly find it in the sales area.

Hello and welcome, if you have any questions then just ask

just got my 5 coin set back this week

Looking great!

@Jake0111 if fine not a problem at all, just wanted to make sure I wasn't confusing anyone.

@Jake0111 im not sure if thats humour or misunderstanding of my choice of words, sorry. I was implying that it looks like it might be a 4 stamped over a 4

Also, can I ask why no VAT on things bought here

Personal sales are by default not subject to VAT. 2nd hand from shop may still charge full VAT or margin VAT.

how do I check its REAL or legit

Scales to weigh, dial calipers to measure, the Internet to find the details that it should be, is the most simplistic answer. (Can start doing water displacement for density check if you want). Something like a sigma metal test machine, though this may be going overboard depending on you budget and outlays.
