nice mate, I would sell now while the hype is there and buy about 18oz of gold, 18oz of free gold

[Paul]

It's cost me nearly £2k in stuff I've won thus far I didn't plan or budget on in this coin cabinet auction

I mean, we’ve been waiting for ages for this, the auction starts a bit late and then there is just absolute silence, inaction and *nothing*...then fair warning...then sold. It was a bit like paying £50 to watch boxing, getting involved in the build up and there being a knock out after fifteen seconds. 

I’m not sure they should promote current bids pre live auction.

What do I know though! I think EBay is unexciting because bids always come in the last ten seconds......

It was surprising to see no action at all on the Una. Thought there'd be a few live bids. I watched most of the auction minus a half hour break for the afternoon dog walk. That is the first coin only auction I've watched and it was interesting to see the results - a lot of items sold for less than I'd of expected. I didn't spend a much as @Paul but bought a couple of Sovs I thought were well priced. Good bit of fun on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

No, just that there would be an epic battle like you see on the BBC news whenever a Picasso comes up at auction.........

[PablosGee]

A silver Una just sold (allegedly) on eBay for £390 delivered. 

Meanwhile, Coin Connection still in stock at £325 ... 🤷‍♂️

Assuming H&B have sold theirs now as the link is no longer valid. 

[wolfiemac]

If anyone has a graded one, this went today for £437

Crazy money.
 

Still doesn’t make me want to sell mine though. 

[Frenchie]

[Heliopolis]

ebay #402027553582   #114047948228  #402021039057  #402020335981 etc...

(check "worldwide" as it was in the US)

Why would someone be willing to pay 27k for this? Just because it's low mintage? Madness.

If you only refer to the intrinsec value, you are right. Now imagine 500000$  for the original !...Why ? because of the mintage ?   It 's 27k because  there is more demand even at this price and we could argue about this for many collector coins.

It could be a bubble, but maybe not,  and for now the facts  behind these prices is history, beauty and  an iconic design.

So, the latest price to go on  is:

£27,000 plus shipping for the buyer

£24,570 for the seller less initial shipping to The Coin Cabinet

(graded commission is 9%, ungraded 10%) if sold through The Coin Cabinet.

I'm in the wrong business 🙄

[Oldun]

Or you could have bought over 100 silver Unas and made about the same ! 🤣

Still nothing to complain about for the seller, that is £20,000 pure profit in a very short turnaround time for a brand new coin. Unheard of...
