£85,000 and not graded?! I don’t think so... if it was a PF70, that would make a bit more sense.

I can’t believe I’ve just said a coin that was originally on sale for under £5k less than two years ago “makes sense” at £85k today 🤪

These are money stupid times right now...when regular investments are paying zero money will flow to none traditional just like the late 80s, classic cars, art, collectable exchanging hands sometimes within days of buying for substantial returns.

Hey Paul,

From what I remember, a member said that the gold Una sold more recently for £80k in a Far East auction. 
Do you think it’ll break the £100k mark?

i really dont know to be honest, it was still a bitter pill for me to ponying up £4k for 2oz of gold in when it launched, and hoped it wasn't a risk/mistake !

Could it break 100k at auction ?  in this day and age who knows? 

only need two people with big enough cheque books who want it more than the other

 

[Paul]

another original Una & Lion has nearly broke $500,000 / 1/2 million

I’ve recently bought a Gothic Crown as an investment because this market is still developing in my opinion - interesting times ahead especially for 19th century British coins

no shortage of cash getting thrown at anything and everything "rare"

items not just nudging over the estimate, nope - things are getting smashed x2 x3 or x4 times estimate price 

not just coins/rare PMs

wine, whiskey, watches, cars, art, autographs/memorabilia,  even what would never be classed as investments trainers/Pokémon cards and in graded sports trading cards are going parabolic

The Pokemon cards is completely out of control - seen unopened boxes going for ridiculous money.

That explanation makes sense. Personally I just feel it’s a waste of a timeless design to issue it in such a non-memorable year.

Also, as we’ve discussed in another thread, the minimum size gold version is about 2oz, so they’re obviously targeting a very specific demographic.

 

Just reading old posts and came across this. With hindsight 2020 will be a pretty memorable year I reckon! Haha!

On the contrary... it’s one I’d personally like to forget. 😅

Its very interesting to compare the posts on the early pages of this subject when people were  wondering whether or not to go for these coins  and whether they would prove a good buy ,to those more recently . Maybe a lesson to all of us there.

Just to update the topic, if someone missed the 2oz gold Una, here is your chance to get it at a friendly price, hurry up !

Would be interested to know how much a  good silver unslabbed 2oz RM  Una goes for nowadays? All I can see is someone on ebay selling the Three Graces and Una coins together

There is currently a raw Una  proposed for 3800€ (seller from Spain). I have personally  sold an  Una (PF69) recently for 3200€

It’s a beautiful coin but you gotta have some very deep pockets for it. 
After the Three Graces spending spree, all I have left in my pocket is an old Snickers wrapper and a bit of lint.

2oz gold Una & Lion at £44k in sovereign rarities current auction sale @Frenchie

I wonder what is is going to end at - any guestimates folk ??

Think the last £59k of coin cabinets auction from Sept 2020 will be breached ??

Live bidding starts Tuesday 27th April 10:00am GMT

2oz Una & Lion gold - Hammer price today ended at £50,000

+ 20% buyers premium = £10,000

= VAT on buyers premium @20% = £2,000

Total buyer paid therefore £62,000 for it 

Encouraging it is holding its value nicely, last UK auction sale was coincabinet in selling at £59,000 Sept 2020 with no buyers premium, less sellers fees

[apachebleu]

 How do people see the una and the lions 1oz gold bars performing? They seem sold out everywhere aside from one site looking for 2400 usd. 

 

 Doubt they'll ever come close to the coins but do we reckon these could be a good investment?
