The black marks are a consequence of grading. For a period of time a couple of years ago, 2 oz Royal Mint silver coins in particular were coming back from NGC with these marks on them. All concerned parties, NGC and Royal Mint, shrugged their shoulders and washed their hands of it. With help of an intermediary I persuaded NGC to conserve for free one of my coins that had been affected this way. Most of the marks were removed and it magically transformed from a 69 to a 70. 👀

I guarantee eBay will be quicker and you will sell for more (when using selling offers, but you may have to make a few sales without, before you receive these) Always post signed for or Special Delivery with adequate insurance, packaged well / securely, and you won’t have many problems.

I’ve been buying and selling coins as a hobby for 15 years, usually only 5 or 6 items a month. The only platform where you are guaranteed a sale when you need it, at somewhere approaching the going rate, is eBay. I love the forum and am a long standing member, but selling on here (and similar forums / Facebook groups) is increasingly painful. Things will only sell quickly at rock bottom prices and often not at all.

I'm not sure you can quote face value in terms of pounds. 21 x face value is $688, which converts to £532. Probably easier to give wt. in troy oz, when trying to sell in pounds?

I visited the Austrian Mint shop in Vienna a few years ago. Nice to look around but was skint at the time, so nothing for my budget.

It looks a bit like a Sheffield Assay Office bar, but couldn’t be certain. Actually, a Sheffield bar would be hallmarked, so forget that…

Bump

Prices reduced.

Open to sensible offers.

Evening bump.

Likewise, usually miss them by about 15 minutes.

I entered that too, but no joy. Never won a thing since they moved to that system.

The price seems fair. The Doorlys 12 goes for £50 in most places.

I’ll take both, if still available. Thanks Peter

Well that explains it. Real shame, as I’ve used hundreds of pounds worth of vouchers on coins over the years. Also means I will buy less on eBay, as I always tried to make use of the 5 x Points offers by buying an expensive item. Sainsburys might take a hit too!

Yes, I think everyone could do with a bit of a rest. Just the Monarchs to carry on with for me.

Granted they churn out their fair share of tat, but no Mint in a similar position would do differently. The Platinum Jubilee, death of the Queen and Coronation of the new King are truly historic events that warrant commemoration. A lot of these coins, and all of the Sovereigns, will be long term winners.

The T & C’s suggest you should still be able to buy from the coins category: ’The vouchers cannot be used to purchase items from the following categories: Cars, Motorcycles and Vehicles (Parts and accessories are NOT excluded) Holidays & Travel Property Gift Vouchers & Coupons Baby Feeding: Formula The vouchers cannot be used to purchase items from the following sellers: Tesco outlet Co-operative Electrical Telephony providers offering Pay As You Go phones’

Worked up until last week for me, then last weekend suddenly stopped.

I’ve probably returned more than 100 coins over the years - I don’t think you get put on a naughty list.

Give it 3 or 4 years.

Bargain 5 oz silver proof.
