Today I Received.....

[Guest]

Wow very nice
Did you vlog it? 

I didn't take any video at the show this time. The coin was marked up at £2,500 and that's a bit high I think but I did want to start to collect the 1911 proofs as well as the 1937 proofs.

I don't normally post my purchases but thought I would share this little 1/10 kiwi gold doo-darr I picked up locally in town yesterday as I have not seen one on my travels before or on the forum.  £107 I paid which was fair enough

Looks like Adrian got a great deal there, you should have walked away at that price.

Depends what he got for the 2 G4 sovs

I think it was a fair deal in many ways and on others Adrian won. I was too generous with my offer and he said yes too quickly. The 1821 was details and if I had Unslabbed it and auctioned it I would have got between £800 and £1100 less eBay fees of at least £100.

 

The 1825 had been slightly polished but got a clean AU58 and would have sold for £950 or so at auction. Less £100.

 

That had a value of say £1700 or so for the two and I threw in another more bullion sovereign too. I provided tons of value to the deal and Adrian has some potential to add value to my coins and extract his profit.

 

At the same time his £2500 Sovereign was valued by me for £2100 in that condition 64 cameo. Some might have said £1900 but the 1911 proofs are very desirable and only 3,000 were minted.

 

All in all I might have lost out on the deal by £200 in total so I could have dealt better but I have one first class coin in my collection now and can gradually look for the others in that year. I will also look for a pre Vic sovereign in MS to add to my collection too.

Few More for slabbing.too bad the half ozer has got some hairlines on the back. Overpaid but will still grade it. 2003 looks flawless.

[Cornishfarmer]

@UraaniBarbaari you know pandas more than me but the 1/2 panda just doesn't look right

[UraaniBarbaari]

I don`t think there is anything to be concerned about @Cornishfarmer

[Cornishfarmer]

@UraaniBarbaari from the picture the 200 looks too square and the 999 bit funny, must be just the wrong angle on the picture and viewing on iPhone 

[UraaniBarbaari]

yeah the pictures are always tuff- looks perfect in hand

From @rebnah two purchases in last week or so

@rebnah excellent to deal with, no nonsense deals, good communication including photo of packed items, fast delivery and as the man himself will say cheaper than Atkinsons! Some would say better service than Chards...

I don't know whether it's a sign of the times or we are all getting more suspicious in general, but there are certainly a lot of "fake" reactions generated these days.

I've lost count of the number of times in recent months that someone has questioned the authenticity of a purchase. I must confess to being guilty of this also

That was quick!  Impressive delivery time for the RM.  Man, those Gold proofs look even better in your photos than on the RMs website.  How's the quality on both?  Have you put them under the loupe yet?  I must say, I'm hoping for the best from a quality perspective for my 1 oz Silver proof but I'm keeping my fingers crossed just in case

Thanks I really like them they are a lovely coin.  Under the loupe the obverse is not perfect there are a few dots. Compared to the Lion 1/4 gold they are great quality.

The Lion was a nightmare it took me ages to get one I was confident to send off for grading.
