Keep-Sell-Grade or a combination? 2014 Britannia Set

[Guest]

What would you do?

Keep it for a few more years?

Grade all 6 coins?

Grade 4 biggest and sell the other 2?

Sell as a set now?

What is the best strategy for this brilliant set?

[watchesandwhisky]

My personal opinion is possibly keep till the new set is out, it might raise interest and price, I have a set for sale here at £225 and its not selling, If you're willing to take a loss it would sell, but a set this nice I wouldn't let go for less than a modest profit.

 

No Idea about grading, Though I think the older graded britannias do quite well? That said I'm pretty sure the market was hit pretty hard with lots of graded coins on release.

 

People seem to be holding, the last six coin set sold on ebay was back in april!

If graded 70 they sell for 375 dollars just for the 1oz.. Might be worth splitting the set and selling the 1,1/2 and 1/4 on eBay.com to USA buyers and then selling the other smaller coins on UK auctions for what they get?

How much was it new?

You could sell it to me

[watchesandwhisky]

The set was £200 new:)

 

I have seen the one ounce sell for as much as £160 ungraded as is!

do you mean the stand-alone 1 oz proof or one from a set?

[watchesandwhisky]

Im pretty sure it was one from a set in america, the last stand alone 1oz proof went for £121 so prices may have mellowed a bit, But people seem to be holding these not many for sale at all, as of now there is one single 2014 proof item on ebay worldwide, and thats the smallest three coins I think.

 

Doh..1 auction lol..plenty of buy it now.

Buy another set and grade the best 6. Best of both worlds

I am not convinced once graded the original source or box and coa have any premium

Also don't forget that USA accounts get no vat. They do pay postage though.

I know what you mean and probably can't argue. However, the statement mentioned an ungraded 1oz and didn't specify whether it was in a box with coa or raw from a set.

Keep !

It's a damn fine set!

I don't think the charm of the design has

lasting appeal to collectors.

It's a nice design and I suppose I'll have to get one at some point for the collection.

However, my issue is why they messed about with a winning set configuration ie 4 coins. The smallest 2 coins in this set are a complete waste of time.

They started with the 5 coin 2013 set, and now it's 6 coins. It'll be interesting to see if they try and go for a 7 coin set with a 80th oz coin, or even a 100th oz 2p coin. 200th oz 1p anyone !!!??

 

I doubt these latest sets will keep their premium, it's possible to pick up the earlier sets for not much more than £100 - 120 these days.
