Just seen this. Any opinions?

[AaaGee]

Worth getting? In an antiques shop.Got an hour to decide.

 

 

[Jimmock]

In my opinion - No. Only cause i always think about how I would move it on,and you'd be lucky to get bullion price for it down the line. 😁

[Jimmock]

Do a quick search on ebay for sold concorde 5oz and you'll see better ones for less.

[MickB]

More than likely you can haggle the price down.

[TheShinyStuff]

Nope. As @Jimmock said, if you really want one, you'd get one with all the packaging for £100 with a bit of patience. 

What else do they have?😀

Thats a 1oz. The one i posted was a 5oz

[AaaGee]

Left it there. Subject matter wasnt enough for me to buy it.

Also for sale were these items. Sorry for the c**p shots. My missus was waiting to go so had to rush🤔

Only other items i found are pictured. Also ice cream tubs full of old coins in flips locked in a cabinet.

My opinion is that collector coins that aren't actually made of precious metals are not worth buying.  What are you going to do with them?  They're just going to cost money and take up space.  And for what?  They're very very very likely not going to be worth any more than you paid for them.

But that being said, everyone has their reasons.

[AaaGee]

That is why i left everything in the shop. My only interest was the silver.

[StackemHigh]

The collector will look into every coin weigh up the design, material, year, mintage and price at least that's what i'd do. Then decide if the coin is desirable and has a place in the collection. Generally this will only take a glance at a coin to decide.

The Churchill crown has a simple design by he relief is very low, the low relief would reduce the want to have one for me but if you like Churchill or have a collection of crowns then i'd have to get it to fill in the gap in the collection.

I would say know what you want to buy and have a price you are willing to pay before looking. I have a simple note pad on my phone that has a list of coins i want to get with different metals and prices. Don't want to buy a base metal coin for silver prices unless it's a special coin.

Ironically (?) the coins that have increased in value the most for me have all been base metal. If it's low mintage and subsequent issues become popular then the material it's made from makes little difference in the collector world.

Saying that, you need to know what to buy and when to buy/sell them. It's a gamble that can be mitigated with a little knowledge.

The examples in this post i wouldn't touch for one (or more) of the following reasons - RM proof coins generally tank / there are too many of them / highly specialised coins have limited appeal.

True, if you're in the speculative market to invest that way.  My perspective is from trying to obtain something more intrinsically valuable.  I say "more intrinsically" because even metals that have been historically considered valuable can be worthless if there's no market or means of using them.  But all you can do is try to understand what's possibly going to have value (ie- usefulness)  in the future.
