    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.

    Nah joking aside, it's frustrating when you don't get something you want and are stuck having to pay more. It's like when I went into Woolworths and they didn't have those coconut mushroom I like but the pick and mix stall did outside but they were 10p per 1/4 more so I went all out for Woolworths and said they need to change their business model and reported them to trading standards and everything... And where are they now huh.... Yeah I did that people. 
    I did buy the sweets from the other seller also for the extra money.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Even if they do win it (surely always a risk) if they have multiples of a coin it potentially pushes up the market value so the risk then becomes worth it for them. There appear to be people happy to admit doing this.

    There are no doubt times when people just want an item and happy to pay a lot more to win it and in reverse you can get lucky on some bargains in auction.

    If you look on your invoice you can see if it was charged. I got a 2oz and 5oz graces graded and although opted for conservation it wasn’t applied and wasn’t charged. They only charge you if conservation takes place.
