This one is going to be an epic one. This has genuine worldwide interest for very few coins, assuming the RM haven’t ramped the mintage up and nobody will know until they appear online, whenever that is.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited for it, love the design. But I'm already sweating it too, ha!

Look out, Look out, £1 max FleaBay fees offer about ! 

expect to see some more listed this weekend

That might not include coins/bullion though. They typically leave that out for similar promotions on US ebay which is always a bummer. Must be one of their most profitable categories.

as the PCGS number on CC auction (ending 5559) is different to the stock images used on eBay and Britannia Coin Co own web site ending 5546

The only people who'll be in physical possession of these will be Britannia Coin Co so one can only assume it is there's at Coin Cabinet 

In a recent youtube video show casing the Three Graces live in hand "he who used to frequent this forum" and the one in his vid PCGS cert ends 5748 so it is not his at Coin Cabinet

That’s some research 🔬 👍🏻

How can we find out if bullion is not in the £1 deal ?

Any restrictions should be under the details, you might have to click the "Learn More" button if there is one. I don't have the offer here so am unable to check myself.

EDIT: After looking at the image the link "T&C's Apply" might be where you can find out.

Perfect. Thank you.

4 sold on eBay now between £850-£950 and more popping up.

Once the RM one is released it will be interesting to see how these react 

[Oldun]

Yep, as suspected, initial seconary market price will stay under £999 until the remaining coins are released at £999. Yesterday’s release of 100 coins was at £499.

For me personally If I was a collector and wanted one of these coins it would without doubt be the royal mint coin. 

Because of the hype im sure there is money to be made on them though. 

And anyone buying those "promise to deliver when received" listings on ebay is asking for trouble.. Good luck on receiving them if they see big price increases! they will either be "lost" in the post or flat out cancelled.

Jumped up £100 in the last 10 seconds. Buyer got a £200 discount still 👌 

Not my coin btw.

I always thought it was people mistakenly thinking they were getting the real deal rm version 🙈

I would argue that the Alderney gold version was the real deal as it remained true to the original by incorporating the classic 1839 Roman numerals instead of the 2019 ones used by the RM.

I honestly think them all being 70's is a bit of a downside. A perfect grade like that needs lesser grades in comparison to carry a premium.

Didn't the Alderney Una and the Lion do fairly well though? Obviously not as crazy as the RM but still went for multiples over sale price?

I appreciate this is the silver thread but I know that 400 Alderney gold Una’s were minted and 389 of them graded PR70. Maybe the canny investor should shop around for one of the 11 coins that achieved a rarer grade? 😜

Speaking of which, I've never ordered directly from the Royal Mint before. Is the site expected to crash like the US Mint site always does?

Think I've heard they use a queue system but not quite sure how that will work.

We just all turn up at the Royal Mint Experience outside Cardiff in Wales from the stroke of midnight and form a socially distancing queue. You can always tell the first timers who ask you to look after their space while they go to the toilet. Once they leave we all move up in the queue and we get the coins and they don’t.

Joking apart, you just see a progress bar which gives you an idea how long you can expect to get on the website.

Once the RM Graces mintages and graded coins start to hit the secondary market, all will become clear. I do wonder if BCC already know the RM mintages and have judged the market well. Who knows. And holding back the majority of the remaining coins until after the RM release ? Or dribbling them out ? Who knows ? Fascinating new strategy regarding what they may or may not do, timing around the RM release date  and price. Personally, I have never seen this sort of thing before.

The new normal is that nothing’s normal anymore!

live listings have gone up

x15 Three Graces now available in various formats on FleaBay UK on Buy It Now and Auction formats

 

Add the completed transactions already done on ebay sales via buy it now & best offer

Gets to nearly a quarter(25%) of the initial offers used for flipping 

 

add how many of this first 25% bought x2, flipping on and keeping the other ??

 

Add what we have hooked here on the forum, correct me if i'm wrong but don't think anyone here has flipped anything as yet ??

Wonder what's going to happen on how the remaining x900 Alderneys and how they are going to be released ?

• x100 at a time weekly ?
• all x900 go live at once ?
• the x900 £999 RRPs 'majority' held back until RM official Three Graces release/sell outs 

 

Certainly an interesting marketing strategy, interesting following things

I’ve not sold either of mine yet. 😁 

Medium term keepers. Might sell/swap  one to get an Una 🤔 if they ever increase in value enough!

x3 more gone through the night

[FlorinCollector]

I’m still waiting for the Britannia coin company to notify me the coins been released. 🤣 

[Oldun]

Yep, pretty obvious that £800-900 will be the mark as there are still another 900 coins to be released at £999. Once those are sold and done, then we will see what happens, as it may coincide with the RM release and will depend on how many disappointed RM buyers there may be and how high the RM coins are bidded up in the secondary market.

On the assumption that prices go as high as the Una couns, that will almost certainly drag the Alderney ines up with them over time.

Edited January 24, 2021 by Oldun

[FlorinCollector]

Do you think they will still release these at £999? Surely not if they arent achieving that on ebay?

[Oldun]

They aren’t achieving more than £999 precisely because everyone knows there are still 900 to be released  at £999 so, for now, there is a solid cap on the first 100.
