I know the purists are likely getting moist over the Great Engravers or the Una bars but this looked fun so preordered today (5,000 mintage)

[Skelator88]

Australia Series three releases, not from the main stream release. These were a custom order specifically for a Chinese customer.

there is a few variations of the mouse and all are within the NGC registry but seldom seen in the marketplace

My first ever coin auction win! 

A 1987 1/10th proof Britannia

The good news, won for £145

The bad news, 26.5% Hammer fee 🤬

Still a good price and at a local auction site so I can collect on payday 😊

Well done, and for getting one of the first 1987 Britannia coins by Nathan. I managed to get a set on the secondary market many years ago. This could be the first of many for you!….😊

Yeah I went in to complain a few days ago! Couldn’t believe the fees when compared to the online ones I’ve been introduced to on here.

😮😂 there is only a couple of sites where it is either free or cheap and I doubt you want to sell with them as they have to earn a living from someone. When I started buying at auctions I think it was around 12 - 15% fees🤔😳😕you make a run of those proofs, usually see a few still in the box for sale🤔

Paid £28 delivered. That seem about the right price? Bit of a spur of the moment purchase

😮that seems ok! It’s a pretty good example, there are better, but that is reflected in the price.  Maybe the start of a collection … through the ages of the different versions? Or even a collection of Britannias?🤔😮😮

Missed out yesterday but got it today on fleabay! 18.39 delivered using code leap20

Bit of a premium but relative to the market think I did ok (£400). Regretted not picking one up from Tavex when I could have done so it’s my own fault 🤣

No probs. I picked mine up on eBay (ungraded) for £842 a couple months ago (I think) but I’ve a feeling that was a very good deal 👍🏼

It was. Though someone of the forum also (not too long ago) sold a raw one for that price.

I agree, but out of my price range in platinum 😉

No indication that its coming in larger sizes

[cjbcomm]

They look great. Only available for the domestic market?

[Whitebulldog]

I don’t think so - don’t know if you can buy directly from the Perth Mint but people were saying the mintage figures were for global

Cannot buy direct from Perth mint as showing as restricted to Aussie buyers only. Sure some agents will have them
