closed Dutch Auction: 1880 "Young Vic" Gold Full Sovereign

[SheepStacker]

So, I saw another forum member putting something up for sale via "Dutch Auction" earlier, and I thought it looked like fun. Going to give it a go myself.

• 1880 "Young Vic" Full Sovereign, George and the Dragon reverse
• Fine condition (imho, see pics)
• Slight nick at 02:45 on the reverse, but this isn't an ex-mount

 

So the rules are, I will start the dutch auction at a bid price. If you want it, at that price, which includes SD shipping, all you need to do to end the auction, and win, is say YES. First person to say YES, wins it.

I will drop the price periodically until someone wins. Timescales, and price drop amount entirely at my discretion.

 

Good luck!

Starting price is £435

Oh and by the way, I'm an impatient person, so don't expect this to drag on for days.

Best get dropping then

No, someone will buy. It's a decent quality Young Vic, and there are too many predators on this forum. Trust me.

Cheaper than Atkinsons. Probably the cheapest Young Vic in the UK at the moment, unless you've got a crowbar...
