London Coins online auction!

[SilverTanner]

It appears that London Coins have finally moved their auctions online:-

I have suggested it many times over the years, pity it took a pandemic.

Shame they haven't launched their own online bidding process and are relying on a third party platform, so an additional 3.5% premium over LC's buyers premium (17% vs 20.5%). id rather email the bidders form in and save the mark-up. 

Their website and online experience needs modernising if you ask me, look how slick Coin Cabinet is with the app and search facility etc.

I agree, I stopped bidding completely as they wouldn't move online so I couldn't tailor my bids for the lots I was interested in depending on the prices being achieved. I hope that the 3rd party system is a temporary fix whilst they sort things out!

Lots of gold and silver proofs as usual - I tend to go for the older stuff

Don't get too excited - it is only a catalogue auction you cannot bid live.

To be fair London Coins site does beat Coin Cabinet in one respect:  their pictures are a lot A LOT better than the Coin Cabinet ones.
