Not mine if you have a nervous disposition don't look at the photos https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Full-Gold-Sovereign2020-White-Lion-Of-Mortimer-Proof-Only-I-Of-A-Thousand-Produc/373494718207?hash=item56f6051eff:g:C4YAAOSwR6NgDWcW

Wow, what in the actual ****! 

Thats one way to ruin a sale. I find it funny that he’s added “excellent condition” to the description when you can literally see the fingerprints! The ones were the coin is out of the capsule aren’t even in focus. Was it a gift from a relative I wonder? How much money do you think he’s wiped off the value of the coin?!

[Aiden2343]

He actually has another coin for sale...

IMO he's taken a fair premium coin to bullion ish value think he'll be lucky to get 450 now 😔

Trouble is someone will probably still buy it without realising its not worth more than just over spot now.

I hope it does not  happen to be a member of this forum! 🙄😏😲

The fact the seller refers to it as a "sovereign" says that he knows "ZIP" 😵

[TringSilver]

Well not sure what the lower limit is but I got an auto decline on an offer at scrap value 🤣

[Alex944]

Looks very different from the 2020 Sov I picked up a few weeks back 😂

[MickB]

I was more surprised at the price of the jigsaw they're selling!

[TommyTwoShots]

I would offer spot on that 

[dicker]

Interesting one to watch.....I am almost certain it will go for more than Spot +5pct

[Midasfrog]

Its in much better condition than the rustic 1989 sovereign that sold for £1000 😂 but less in demand who knows anything can happen on Ebay there might be a couple of shill bidders fighting it out 😂😂

It looks like this one circulated in a coin pusher at the fair.

My 5 year old Grandson loves coins and has a few in his collection now , keeps them loose in a tin with a few stones & sharks teeth . It only takes him seconds to get them out of the special royal mint packaging . A coin in one hand and a cookie in the other 😅 but he loves his coins .

A high percentage of proof coins are handled and will pass through dealers at spot price or below which gives us the chance to pick some lovely coins up at a fair price.

[Simmoleon]

Yep, I bought a number of proof sovereigns and half sovereigns a couple of weeks back for about £42 a gram - seems many people just don’t worry about handling them. I need to go through them all to see if any are worth conserving and grading but a couple even to the eye have finger prints and general grime on them. Just hope the 2005/2012 proof half sovs can be conserved 

[Chorlton]

A lot of people not familiar with where the value in proofs come from handle them reducing their condition and value. Many on EBay have suffered from this and Some are in bullion condition due to this. Having been very careful I have picked a up a few proofs from EBay in excellent condition which suggests they have not been opened or handled.

I get confused by all these modern Acronyms 🧐 but this topic title is easy to remember    Wtf = With the fingermarks 😅

£110 for a jigsaw, that works out at nearly 10p a piece.

You wouldn’t want to loose any would you. 😂
