I noticed this too! The pic seems to have the grained edge though! Exciting times! I’m going to hedge and say it will sell for £16k.

whilst i only have a small vested interest I will air on the side of "overly optimistic"

You might well be right on the £16k price it might achieve.   But a savvy buyer will pay less off the peg- https://www.sovr.co.uk/qe-ii-2021-gold-proof-2oz-gothic-crown-qa-fi22767.html

 

Auctions are a strange phenomenon where people can take leave of their minds in that moment.

Agreed - it looks grained for sure. SovR has one on offer for 12.5k so 16k may be a stretch - will surely be exciting! I'm guessing 12'250. 😅

Very true! We’ve all seen people getting into fights over coins that are available elsewhere and it just turns into an alpha fight to the win!!

Well if you manage to buy all 411 of them at crazy prices, you can control the new even-crazier prices!

Agreed- in the last Sovereign Rarities Auction, some of the lots went for way more money than what you could buy in their shop- and I'm not talking about an older historic coin that might have had more eye appeal, my observations were that these were modern coins!  

Just a couple of mouse clicks on the same website would have saved a lot of money 🤯 Work that one out!  I never will.

I would take that last bit of info with a pinch of salt 😖 

I've been told more than once, they are waiting on stock and I'm waiting nearly 4 weeks so far since return 🤷‍♂️

ditto

Anyone else constantly hitting the TCC auction site refresh to place the first bid on the Gothic.. 😅

Congratulations, did you have the coins conserved?

Thanks and nope - for newly issued coins I don't see a strong reason to conserve them. If there are visible damage or hairline scratches no amount of conservation will help, it's better to exchange with RM. I actually do not know when this becomes popular but honestly most people shouldn't do that hoping it will improve the grade unless they know what they are doing. If you've kept a coin ungraded for a while and decide to grade years later, conservation makes sense if you see tiny red spots or minor toning.

spotted my first graded PF70 2022 proof full sovereign sale yesterday on a bookface flippers collectors group

£1,100 it sold for if anyone is interested   

Encouraging  looks nice in its plastic coffin

think i would ask for conservation and let them decide if the coins need it or not just to be safe 

ngc wont conserve if the coin doesn't benefit from it 

what's the point of fussing over a little more money for complete piece of mind 

especially for high premium coins 

just my thoughts

 Not a bad price at all  look forward too seeing where the prices of the various coins go as graded ones come to market....not as much as I'm looking forward to getting my replacements back from the mint though!

[Simmoleon]

Yep I’m awaiting my replacement from the mint 🤕 and then I got a dodgy 5oz Gothic off the mint - I mean I probably should get an RM account manager just so I have somebody to moan at 

[Paul]

spotted on my internet travels - more graded ones starting to show up 

Im sure these will find a niche to be a future classic to hold and always be in demand
