Gold deal for someone? I was going to hold these, but decided to let them go. Bargain for someone, perhaps? 1 x 1851 French 20 Francs- £380 plus post 1 x 1898 Pond - £440 plus post 1 x 1968 2 Rand - £440 plus post All for £1,205.00 posted?

Oh dear. Yes. Thanks for letting me know. Having the week of my life here…..

This is what is currently left with prices amended a wee bit: Proofs 2003 Britannia 1/4 - £490.00 2003 Britannia 1/10 - £210.00 2018 Britannia 1/20 - £155.00 2014 Britannia 1/20 - £180.00 (comes with box and cert) 2015 Britannia 1/40 - £65.00 Carded 5 x 2024 Quarter Sovereigns - £122.50 each (stock images as they are in safe box!)

The premiums are exclusive of VAT. So you’re needing to add on 21.6%. That is still better than Heritage and Baldwin St James etc. Good point though and an important reminder that if you lose your mind during an auction the £3,500.00 you just spent on a sovereign means you will get an invoice for £4,256.00!

The 20F and SA gold will be going to a dealer today. Anyone want these before I move them on? Cheers!

It is described as A/FDC which means ‘almost fleur de coin’. It looks good to me but of course they don’t want to say it is perfect if the buyer grades and gets a PR68!

This is not the premium auction. This is their world coin auction. They always describe the condition in their premium auctions which is the topic of this thread. I do now see what you mean and agree and think they should do this with all their auctions. I also agree that I would not buy without a condition description. I am a little lucky that I live in London and so can go to view the coins if ever needed. Is there anything catching your eye in this current auction where the conditions are described?

They do describe the condition. Are you thinking of another auction house? Any coin that is not slabbed by a third party grading service is described in pretty accurate terms. I have never personally had issues. I don’t buy cleaned coins so for me this is important. For example:

Evening! Coin Cabinet’s latest Premium Auction has just gone live. Some interesting coins including a 2021 Plain Edge Gothic Quartered Arms. Only 125 minted! Probably a bargain for someone in the end, I would think. Anyone in for anything? I have my eyes on a few things! Some lovely early Victoria silver, half sovereigns and a beautiful selection of farthings!

Anyone for anything before these are withdrawn? Sorry for the bump, but just checking in before I do close this down. Cheers.

It’s because I listed gold for sale. Always drops when I put up listings!!!
