1989 proof half sov

[lightjaw]

Evening all, i am looking for one of these beauties at the cheapest price, but with box and coa. I know a few on here like them, and have them, so wondered if anyone had any tips on where they got theirs.

 

Thanks

Got mine on Ebay last year for £268.95 delivered - including box and coa

 

Seems about the same as what they're selling for now at auction

 

You can get them a bit cheaper without the coa/box

 

Looking at the sold section I notice this I think someone bought a box & coa - No coin for £199 unaware

Thanks kman will take a gander. All other suggestions appreciated too

I saw them in taxfree gold for about 250 without postage the other day. I dunno if they come with the box and coa but u could always ring them in the morning and ask.

Fair enough lea, thanks

I think I have one with coa etc and at least one without. I might be tempted to sell. I'll need to check if I have got one and how much I paid for it before deciding.

I'd be surprised if Chards would sell one with COA for 250, perhaps one without.

I just checked and its £285 but says call for availability.... They do have a full 1 it's expensive tho with a coa and box for £995 and without £895.

Actually, thinking about it; I'm sure I have one in a pukka case but without the COA if that's any use.

I would say they're averaging closer to £300 but two went at auction yesterday and today for £350 followed by £260, weird place this Ebay.

I was wondering if that was because they didn't put half in the title - "500th Anniversary of the First Gold Sovereign 1489-1989"

 

All though you can see in the pic the COA said half and it said it couple times in the listing page

I can't believe anyone would seriously think they were going to get a full '89 for £350!

[Kman]

Who knows, there's no seeming logical explanation why one would go for £350 and the other £260 so that leaves us guessing  

[lightjaw]

Well thanks all. Rather keen on having the original box and coa if possible. My funds are not huge,so this would be a big purchase for me. 285-300 is about the range I am looking at, don't really want to break the 300 barrier if possible!

[sovereignsteve]

I would think you could manage that if you kept your eye on ebay and were patient.

I missed out on one for just over £400 with postage recently.  Sick as a parrot.

I can imagine!

I've always wanted one of these in box with COA myself for completeness but refuse to pay the silly prices. I have a 3 coin set which will just have to do.
