Did the 2oz gold sell on the Britannia site that was listed for 9k? I can’t find it now

A lot of listings are uk only on the gothic and a big part of the market is overseas. Then combine this with the fact they are 4-5 figure sums for raw with the chance of being impaired, obscure poor pics mostly too and the market reduces even further. Graded ones will set a figure and then more uk buyers will be interested in taking a punt on a raw if there’s enough upside to grade and move on.

Personally I would keep it the rim marks won’t effect the grade and the other parts are minor on the frosting and production based. I would say a chance of a 70, I have had worst 70s. My experience of returns can be long waits at best and refunds at worst although some have managed quick replacements I never have.

The mushrooms and cola bottles could of been the premium range and once you buy a number of lower range dolly mixture and build a relationship up only then you get on then waiting list for the premium sweets.

So when are gothics available in Barry’s wife’s store? Do we get tsf discount?

Tiers for coins and jewellers as authorised dealers no thank you, I’d probably give up collecting at this point. Buy direct and let the market decide what is desirable and premium and what isn’t, the mint can’t in advance.

They even said in the group about a lot of customers are from that group so I imagine most who wanted one had one already if that's the case

I wouldn't read too much into considering so many factors against this example, look at the last gothic reeded that sold for over £20k at heritage

Loads of coins are going low, lots of the raw coins seem to be handled / light marks / nFDC looking at the descriptions which I think may put people off. Combined with a being a new small auction I'm not sure it has built up much of an audience? Having bids shown in advance and a clear view of the premium price added would make it a more user friendly in my opinion. The day before the portrait release is probably tough timing too for modern buyers

Great result, all those desperate flippers did themselves no favours.

I forgot and didn't go on until 9 and get pretty much straight in

All there still 3 mins ago got a 1oz gold and 2oz silver

To be honest its a bad time for me as I'll be working, I imagine its ideal for dealers and asian markets. Is it? The 3G is at 16.5k and the last one same grade sold for 18.5k last month, so it's close with time to spare.

I find the mocked up renders never look very good on the site, in hand always look much better on all their coins. I went for the 1oz and 1/4 myself.

Just to add I’ve had a great experience using COTR auctions over the last year, the service has been outstanding and any questions thoroughly answered with great advice. While people can in theory bid for each other’s items on auction sites there is also the fact that more often two people really want a certain and and pay above the expected price. There’s been a lot more items going for under expected market value across auctions than over lately and there have been plenty of bargains across the board. These low fee online platform auctions offer a great option for sellers and buyers, I wouldn’t like to be a traditional auction house charging huge premiums as I can only see their market share reducing.
