Hi Paul,  very exciting as usual  

Even more excited as  I know that my gold 3G  is a PF70  I will receive it probably in the next 2 weeks

 

[Arbkev]

Got my eye on a couple of lots. Mrs will probably kill me if I bid tho. I over spent on the coins of the realm auction last week 🤣

Great news that Lionel well done, the 70 guarantees your best price when you choose to sell

[Seasider]

So I notice that lot 11 was passed.  What happened there?  Did no-one bid or have they introduced reserves?

[Arbkev]

Some serious bidding on the half sovs this month. 

Way over my budget pretty quick

[goldhunter]

Three graces prices much lower this month. It appears that the shill bidders had a day off.

[AndrewSL76]

I missed everything apart from one. I also ignored my general rule of sticking to my highest bid as the blooming coin went over that point very quickly.

Some interesting and low prices on silver today!!

There was certainly people bidding on this coin, then an  "error " message appeared and the lot was withdrawn ?

Thanks.  I wonder what happened.  Maybe two people bid at precisely the same moment and overloaded the system.

[Richym99]

Thanks for putting this out this morning. I had no idea it was happening, but found one sov I was interested in, and managed to get it

I cannot believe the price the kilo went for. I was close to bidding on it but given where it is and how other weights of the 3G have been doing I decided against it. £7k for the 10oz raw last month and £5,250 for the kilo raw today...£3,900 for the 5oz PF70...

I don’t think this is anything to do with shill bidding as this just isn’t possible at Coin Cabinet. I think it’s just purely down to interest dropping. The ‘Una’ affect may have gone now for anything that isn’t actually an Una (silver/gold) or the gold versions of the Graces....

Just my view!!

PS who on earth paid £975.00 for the Machin Portrait Decimel Day Piedfort 50p? Haha!!!

At almost half the price for the last gold Una sold here , all the 3G gold prices are "relatively" disapointing, but still desirable compared to other modern series , the 5oz gold Music Legend are big loosers with prices around £1600/oz for such coins...minus the fees, sellers did sell them for almost bullion prices  The 2oz gold are a little bit better but close to RM issue prices. In general, I feel that demand for these special modern series was soft in this auction . I am curious to see in the future if this is a new trend or an exception

Everything I had my eye on went for silly money, considerably over market. Gone are the day of getting a good deal on cc it seems.

[Simmoleon]

I only bid on the Rocking Horse crown but left that after it reached £100+. Was an interesting auction, some coins were strong and other strong coins seem to have hit the buffers. 

I’ve got myself a republic denarius and a 1874 half dollar this week so I can’t moan that I walked away empty handed today but the take away message is the current market is all over the place  

[Richym99]

Noticeable the prices the full sovereigns were going for today. I can't recall any going for below £380 that weren't condition compromised.  

[dicker]

I am steering well clear of buying from on-line auctions for the time being.

Some of the prices - particularly for the recent proofs seem odd to me (as in too high).  

Best

I used to buy a lot from the cc but recently i have noticed strange happenings.  I left max bids at market price on 3 vic sovereigns and i had done my homework so i should of got at least one but i was outbid on all of them by one or two bids.  Now i cannot prove anything and it was probably be legit, the buyer/ ers might of wanted the coins at 'any price'.  But i am now  suspicious. I then checked around and found dealers selling coins at about the same price as the acheived Auction price, so the buyer'ers could of just bought the same coins from a dealer.

But you could have also bought the coins from the dealer at the equilalent of the auction price.  So I am not sure what the problem is.  It would seem that the auction price/ dealer's price was the going rate for the items?

[Pipers]

No not really My bids were below the dealer prices

No not really My bids were below the dealer prices.  The reason for buying at auction is to buy cheaper.  Remember your rights are a lot less at auction than from a dealer.  Anyway i do not to argue so lets leave it there.
