The upsides to slabbing are just as you say The problem is slabs don't protect against milking, and imvho it's far too early to say if the RM have adequately dealt with this problem (if they have at all - has it even been addressed like the Canadian Mint?). They may well have done but kept it 'in house' (i.e. no public admission of previous poor quality). I very much hope this is the case

I don't think this one needs a themed label personally.  - the coin speaks for itself, as it should do. The less gimmicks the better imvho.

 

 

To be fair, almost all the milking I've come across or heard about were on bullion coins... I haven't yet heard of silver proof ones affected. I'd be interested to hear about it, if they indeed are.

Very glad to hear that!

One thread on here you can look for is the first issue of the silver proof 1oz Krug (2017? - my memory is hazy there; I think a lot of us tried to forget about those as soon as possible lol, and I haven't had the 'guts' to look at my one since it went into storage).

I don't want to scaremonger either and there is stuff I have been told privately so won't post details on here, but even some sterling silver (which should NEVER spot) from the RM from about four/five years ago has been milked I am told. Serious collector coins, and the person who told me that stores stuff as well as anyone I know.

If you think of it, at the end of the day... it could make clean, non-spotted proof coins more valuable and sought-after... because not all coins are affected by spotting. So, effectively it makes non-spotted coins scarcer and they should command a higher premium therefore.

I've sold a couple of these recently and they were fine, no deterioration since they were stored (pcgs slabbed).

Yup - nice to see some benchmarks sales of roughly gauging out what the market sees the value of this coin at

Is anyone getting their silver version graded? I’m considering it. Wanted to know what people thought. Cheers.

[PablosGee]

Coin Connection silver version is now listed at £300. There is one floating on ebay for £250 which is the cheapest I've been able to find with limited searching. 

Still a tiny little way to go to match the performance of the gold coin ( 😝 ) but positive for those who haven't grown emotionally attached to theirs and intend to flip later down the line. 

Very interesting to follow the Gold's updates. Can't believe how well it's done to date.

I see there's quite some hype surrounding this gold 2oz. So far I have only heard of xxxx price sale, but no confirmation/proof by anyone. When checking through eBay sold items that Londoncoincompany had sold one at £10k but took that with a pinch of salt considering they are ludicrous at the best of times, then a week or so later I checked again and it wasn't in the sold listings. 

I was watching a numistacker video last week (he's made quite a few on this coin for some reason) could have been 2 weeks ago where he mentioned a sold figure of 10k but again there was no evidence of that, if these have sold in these price brackets, and people know, why are they so shy to link them? 

Today Numi did another video mentioning one at £15k, (the eBay one mentioned in this thread) but given the fact that regal is on here and also numistacker and they clearly know each other, but no mention from numi that it was an acquaintance from TSF, the possibility of it to do better could have been there.

I'm sitting on the fence right now that the Gold Una is actually selling for these crazy prices unless someone has a link to actual sales (eBay with feedback) or elsewhere. I think there could be eBay bidders doing some fun and games due to the prices, making bids and not paying, that's what I think might have happened to the one from Londoncoins

So does anyone have an actual link to a genuine sale at 5 figures?

@goldmember44  That's not conclusive pal there has been no feedback left by either seller or buyer.

It's only been a few days ago, if genuine probably on its way being delivered? I don't know. I'm just showing what is currently on eBay, I have no idea whether it's legit or not, I'm no eBay expert.

Yeah you are probably right feedback may show or not next week.
