Currently on ebay at the moment not mine I know the 2nd portrait is proof but given its been opened and its ebay didn't think an offer of 330 was reasonable but instantly declined

The premium from proofs comes from quality of production and condition. If they are handled incorrectly, cleaned, damaged etc. they simply become bullion unless particularly rare or collectible.

I thought 330 was a fair offer given its ebay so if its fake or just doesn't turn up I can get money back, its got no box or Coa, it's obviously been handled

The risk would be with the buyer to potentially get the coin conserved and graded and hope the proof is not damaged beyond conservation. If the coin grades badly you have a bear bullion coin and if it grades well it’s premium would still be somewhat limited as it’s not a rare year from my knowledge. So £330 is a very fair offer IMO but sometime people still believe a proof is premium even when it’s been mishandled

Mintage of about 18k so fairly high for proof

The ebay coin is not a fake, however you should consider the fact that this has clearly been handled, and it does not have its case or numbered certificate. As a proof coin it has very little value above its spot price.

Modern Proof sovereigns should have remained in their capsules and be untouched to have a proof value, it is only of use in this condition as an example of the year as there is no BU alternative.

All Raphael Maklouf sovereigns have seen prices rise over the past few years, as no BU versions were issued making these the only option for collectors.
