Help!

[Dominicmcd]

Can anyone give me some more info on this coin please. I have acquired about 25 of them with various historical heads  

How much do they sell for? Are they 925? I presume they are as they are hallmarked

 

Many thanks

It would be preferable to say "Help wanted with silver medallions" or similar, because "Help!" looks a lot like clickbait.

These are not coins, they are medallions.

The "various historical heads" you refer to are probably all Kings or Queens of England.

"Are they 925? I presume they are as they are hallmarked"

If the hallmark says 925, then they are silver, unless the hallmark says 375, 9ct, 750, 916, etc.

Showing a photo of the hallmark might have helped people to help you.

Including other information such as the weight and diameter would also have helped.

"How much do they sell for?"

Whatever you can get for them.

The ebay listing says "Silver Proof Kings and Queens Coins 925 Bullion Choose Your Coin Hard to Find"

They are when you lose them down the back of the settee.

The listing says he has sold 43 of them, so they can't be that hard to find.

The seller probably knew they were hard to sell so decided to say they're hard to find to make the buyers jump in there & buy them up.

Yes, most ebay sellers are full of hype and s****!

Sadly, it often seems to work, which speaks volumes about the typical ebay buyer!

Would you have any stock that could do with that sales patter?

Yes, we sure do, but we try to stick to information rather than hype.

None available all 43 sold for £21.95 each, .. I wouldn't pay that but clearly some "collectors" are happy to. Where is the hallmark @Dominicmcd

The hallmark is on the side of the coin with a jubilee engraving I bought them as a job lot along with some britannia coins some ingots and 1/2 toz liberty coins. Thanks for your help it's appreciated
