Coin Cabinet Auction 39

[MJCOIN]

Now up.

[jultorsk]

👀

A very diverse selection this time - Swiss Vrenelis, too!

They need to swap the 50p for the foreign coins. I have to start work before they get to the good stuff. Sighs.

[27carrots]

I haven't bid on any coin cabinet auctions before.

Last time I casually looked to see what was going on and it looked like an auction was ending every minute or two all afternoon but I just looked now and it says they all end at 12pm.

Do all auctions end at the same time and then just have the results revealed one by one or am I reading it wrong?

[MJCOIN]

You can bid on a lot now but the auction proper starts at whatever date and time on their website (I can't check right now).

 

Each lot is then sold in turn in real time as you would with any other live auction.

Grading flippers out in force again for this sale

They go through each lot one by one starting at 12pm next Sunday.

I bid in the last auction and it's quite a smooth process.

It runs well the only issue I’ve ever had is when I am trying a last minute bid and the internet connection goes or there’s a delay and I miss my bid so now I just get them in a bit earlier.

Agree with what everyone else has said about the process. As long as you have a good internet connection it should be smooth. They give fair warning and so there should always be time to bid.

I have bought through Coin Cabinet auctions, consigned and sold and graded through them too. The service is exceptional and the team are professional and friendly. 

Good luck to all bidding and selling tomorrow!

My first time bidding in an auction, should be fun.  Some love half sovereigns on my list 😀

Good luck! Just remember to not lose your head in the moment (sorry if that is patronising!). It’s happened to me for sure and once the adrenaline has stopped surging, the realisation that you have to rely on beans on toast for a few weeks can hurt.......

Good advice, always welcome.  I've set myself a limit for each one (I've picked 4).  If the bidding exceeds that, I'll stop...or so I'm telling myself 🤣🤣

Currently a 1989 PF70 PCGS at a bid of £1,950 in this auction  The NGC version currently at £1,550. Too much I think?

They've creeped up a little higher every time a 70 shows up

@PaulYes I have been keeping an eye every auction and that has been the trend. Usually I see more interest in NGC these days but clearly not for this one. 

[Foster88]

I’ve got my eye on something and placed a pre bid last night after a glass of wine or two and now I’m wondering if I’ve bid too much. 😬

The auction hasn’t even started yet. 😂

[FlorinCollector]

@Foster88 Looking at bids on some things I don't think there is a too much right now :))

No, probably not.

I’ve told myself off today for bidding after a drink. 😬 Although I know I’ll still be upset if I’m outbid. 😆

Depends on the going price, of course! The way things have been going recently, I would expect there to be surprises and disappointments across the board!!

At the last auction the Piedfort Decimal Machin portrait went for £975. This time it is struggling below £200 and the full set that includes that coin is also struggling.......the passage of time can be a cruel mistress!!!!

[FlorinCollector]

Just looking through there a lot seem to be expensive. The 2017 SOTD at £1,050 currently is a decent price if it doesn't move too much. Silver 2oz three graces looking lower again. Think the 70’s might settle at £1,000 once the rest are back from NGC. 
 

The alderney 3 sov set has the full sov and half in there. Looks like it wont achieve much more than release price. I think ill be stung with that when mine comes back from ngc. Just need to never turn the coin over for the Queens portrait 🤣 
 

IMO

[FlorinCollector]

Well now 2oz Silver three graces NGC £1,900 PCGS £2,300 😲

[Paul]

I snagged lot #88 1/4 Britannia 2005 pcgs 69 for £450  not a super bargain but  more gold for the stack and not wiped the current account out

double eagles going for under spot
