GOLD DEALS - See a deal, post here :)

[Cointreau]

Ah! I thought it would be proof but didn't think a year with a unique design

 

I wish I picked up the 1/4 or 1/2 now 

No regrets from me. I don't care for that design.

I'm thinking about trying to get a few 1/4 proof Britannia's, so the 2007 would of been nice. 

 

I would like the 2008 and 2003 most, but the 2007 is still nice, much better than the 10 & 11

[Stu]

The quarter ounce I bought and received today. It looks like a proof to me but no expert and little to compare to. The raised images are frosted with a high shiny background. It came in a screw type cap, similar to ones in pictures of proof sets I have seen. The good news is it is a 2007 , the year my youngest was born so he will get it.

Kman, sorry now realise the above post it is not so clear. I ordered the 1/4 britannia a few days ago and only saw your post yesterday, otherwise would have thanked you also for heads up. That said, having realised what I had I now have the 1/2 half winging its way here. I made a wee request for the RM box also which HGM are happy to send me. Now all I have to do is fill it.

good luck hear balanced by the high winds last night blowing down my back fence and some tiles of my roof, such is life.

Not sure how the attach file option works, but here is the lady in question, complete with grumpy lion.

I missed the 20 franc. Not the greatest price with gold being up but still an ok price. Never mind.

2000 Laos million elephants coin on ebay, not bargain but nice coin

[HighlandTiger]

Does anyone want to take a punt on this auction. Badly worded, from a brand new seller, might be worth taking a chance knowing that paypal will back you up.

Bad thing to be selling for your first item, but as you say you are fully covered.

[Kman]

HGM just put up a 2005 poof Britannia set

 

Unique design for that year

 

I wouldn't mind getting just the 1/4 or 1/2 but not the whole set.. if in the next few days a 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 and full britannia go up in one go, at 3% over spot you will know you're getting a nice proof coin..

 

If no one buys the set first that is. 

[bones]

ive just been looking at them but the wife wont let me sell one of her kidneys 

[morezone]

If only spot was lower. At £760 or less I'd get it for the 1oz and 1/10th and sell off the other 2.

[Kman]

Boo, sold now.

Unless it's fake and then you could have a hell of a time proving you were sent a fake to ebay's satisfaction. At least I gave up with a cheaper coin as the seller can say they sent a different coin to the one you returned and ebay won't take your word or a photo of an item on scales weighing incorrectly as evidence.

[HighlandTiger]

EBay will believe you automatically if you say its a fake and send it back by a trackable postage method. I've had a few fake silver coins. Sent them back and got a refund the sane day I gave eBay the tracking number for the return package

[HighlandTiger]

Boo, sold now.

 Sold for £172.15 inc delivery. If genuine someone has managed to get three gold coins for 20% UNDER spot 

 

Fair play to the person who took a risk

Mine was in reference to the 2005  4 coin gold Britannia set on HGM

 

But that was a very good deal for the buyer on ebay, should everything be legit. 

[HighlandTiger]

Not sure it's really a "deal", but just noticed that for the very first time in a long while, HGM have half sovs and sovs at just over £100 and £200 respectively.

 

It's that three figure price for a half sov, that makes me wince.     

[SilverTanner]

I agree on the 'barrier' of £100 for a half sovereign - having just returned to gold and silver this is a real challenge as the most I have ever paid for a full sovereign is £85!

 

Having said that I did persuade myself to buy some silver lunars from STG a few weeks back.

i bought a couple of sovs off em this morning before the price changes around 10.30 . so saved a couple of quid , not much but enough to pay the postage

 

just in case gold forgets to come back down in price again

Looks interesting

 

2011 Boxed UK Edinburgh Gold Proof £1 Coin - £499.95

 

Fine content - 17.984g x spot price: £477

 

Not much of a premium on an interesting proof coin

i know they are not the best at all for price usual or safe use of customer data 

Currently they have 2% off the cost of $20 american eagle pre1933 -  currently £843

 

These don't come up for sale too often on these shores & are beautiful in the flesh
