A Japanese mint has the rights to the gold one which explains why you are seeing them on Japanese auction sites, you won’t find them released in the U.K. 
I imagine some of the Japanese market who have brought a gold one will most likely want the matching silver  be interesting how the silver three graces does on coin cabinet... the global spread of these could be a very good marketing idea, less so for U.K. collectors who want the gold one

Alderney - yes, but RM I see them being released the same day 

One of these has sold, I hope the buyer doesn't get stung as the account doesn't look legit to me plus they fact they listed 3.

All the buy it now Alderneys have now been sold on ebay up to £999.00!

4 sold this morning between £925 and £999! Maybe these will seem cheap in 2 months time. 
2 more have been added over £1k buyitnow and the rest are bidding only. 

 

4 sold on eBay now between £850-£950 and more popping up.
Once the RM one is released it will be interesting to see how these react

Looks like one just sold but can't see the best offer price that was accepted.
Couldn't make up my mind on this one and wound up passing but don't feel great about it now, haha. Just a few things threw me off, I don't like that they are all 70's for instance.
I'm in the US too so the added cost of shipping and exchange rates put it about 100pounds out of my price range. Probably should have grabbed one and given myself another week or so to think about it.
EDIT: And another one just sold for 850pounds.

The RM coins will all be raw  and they wont be inflating the cost out of line of other coins. They know how much the exposure is worth to the brand overall, coins like this bring new collectors into the market. I am very confident they will stick to a consistent strategy on this one.

Available now it seems

Agree, having two prices with an initial release first just seems a bit off and unprofessional to me. It almost says these are worth £499 and the people buying the other 900 are overpaying. I guess there is a strategy in there to create a huge buzz, gain loads of newsletter sign ups and help push the sale of the other 900. A simple £499 for all coins and I would have taken this one more seriously. 

I’m still waiting for this.
I did contact the publishers in August last year and they said it would be released early this year.

Grading

We are proud to announce the official launch of COR's NGC grading service & The Silver Forum branded label. 

The Silver Forum have partnered with Coins of the Realm Ltd (@CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions) and NGC to provide members with an NGC grading service. Coins of the Realm are an NGC authorized dealer.  

TSF receive no commission from any of the services offered by COR. Unless an applicable charge is taken for the TSF label (please see details and costs for labels further down below, some member groups can get the label for a discount / free) We have however secured discount vouchers for premium members buying at their auctions, and discounts for premium members selling at COR auctions. The full savings are passed directly onto members, as TSF supports itself through members choosing to upgrade to Premium Membership. Similarly, we have also secured some very attractive discounts for Premium Members wishing to grade coins with COR.

All coins are fully insured whilst in the possession of COR No additional charge for this.


Grading Pricing 

EDIT: It looks like NGC will be increasing their prices from 1st of January 2023, as such @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions pricing will also change. For correct prices please speak with COR directly at the time of submitting so they can advise pricing. NGC have not currently stated what their price increase will be yet. I will leave the old pricing table up below, but please direct message COR for current price. 

ATTENTION: From 1st April 2022, the prices below changed to include VAT. Please ADD VAT to the below. that the below pricing table is correct from 1st April 2022 onwards. e.g. A coin that is in the modern category would cost just £24 + 20% VAT = just £28.80 (minus any applicable discounts for your Premium Membership group) + shipping. There is no increase to the TSF label fee, and the TSF label fee price is inclusive of any applicable VAT, the same applies to the shipping charge.


Conservation Fees
Modern Tier: £12 + VAT
Gold Tier: £25 + VAT
Standard Tier: 4% fee (min fee £20) + VAT
Other add on services below, please also add 20% VAT.




Update: *Additional £15 charge may apply if coin being submitted requires its own submission form. Please contact Louise for further information @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions. 

How to work out the total:
Please see the above pricing charts and information, should you require any assistance please contact Louise at @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions

Note that gold coins can be put into the Modern category if applicable, which has a lower fee.

You will notice above that there are discounts for Premium Members grading coins. With Platinum PLUS members saving £1 per coin graded, this can add up to a substantial saving for those grading a lot of coins. Feel free to upgrade your membership if you would like to take advantage of the higher discounts available.

TSF branded label 

Premium Members may choose an optional TSF branded label when grading with COR. This label is exclusive to those grading via COR, and is unavailable anywhere else. The TSF branded label is available only for Premium Members.

Any applicable TSF label fee that is charged, is passed on to TSF from COR. All TSF label fees received will go towards the $1000 label charge, any fees received after this will go directly into TSF's marketing costs. TSF relies heavily on Premium Members who support TSF, as such there are larger discounts available on the TSF label fee for higher tier Premium Members as well as FREE TSF labels available for Platinum and Platinum PLUS tier members.

The TSF label is currently available on standard size and double thick NGC holders. We may look at making a TSF label available for oversize holders if there is sufficient demand.

TSF label fee

Silver Premium Member - £6 per TSF label
Gold Premium Member - 50% discount (£3 per TSF label)
Platinum Premium Member - £FREE
Platinum PLUS Premium Member - £FREE

We hope that you like the TSF label design and we are looking forward to seeing it on your graded coins. You may wish to upgrade your membership to take advantage of the discounts.  There is no disadvantage to upgrade your membership mid billing cycle as the time paid on the current invoice is calculated. For help with upgrading and to know the upgrade cost please private message @ChrisSilver


Additional info

When submitting your item(s) for grading please do confirm with @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions via the TSF messaging system that you have sent them an item. Contacting COR via the TSF messaging system may help to speed up the validation of the applicable discounts as they will be able to easily validate your membership status. Please also include your TSF member name on the submission form if possible. 

TSF members must hold the applicable membership level at the time of submitting their items and the time that they are invoiced from Coins of the Realm to take advantage of the discounts. 

Coins of the Realm Ltd are based in the UK. Import taxes and other applicable charges may apply if sending items from outside of the UK to Coins of the Realm. We currently do not have a partner in the EU or USA offering a grading service for members, however we hope that in the future as the forum grows that we can find a way to provide our members in these regions with a similar grading service and TSF label. 

Note that the grading service is provided by COR. Any contract for services is between the member/customer and COR. Note that the grading itself is done by NGC, although NGC try to minimise grading errors with the coins being checked by multiple graders it may however on occasion be possible that a coin may come back at a higher or lower grade than it should have been assigned. Coins graded by NGC are covered by their guarantee should they overgrazed the coin, please see here for further details. The NGC guarantee also covers items with the TSF label, to make a claim you would need to go direct to NGC, please see all of the details on the previous link.
