Whats it worth.

[AaaGee]

A mate sent me these pix a while ago and prompted by another thread on here i thought id ask the question. Its his mums who spotted it on a TV ad and purchased it.

Anything special?

No!

Spot +2% if you are lucky on a private sale, dealers likely 98% of spot

So, £175 to £185 I think.

Absolutely special!  A half sovereign from the best marketing company in the UK  Good value and fantastic follow up service from Harrington & Byrne. Get one yourself……

PS (Edit) I would like to retract the cynical endorsement above, as being completely untrue !
Apologies to the inhabitants of Alderney…..😀

Thanks for your replies. He sent the pix a while ago.

And occasionally asks me to ask on here. I'll avoid the conversation from now on.

Why would I want to do that?

Exactly what @BackyardBullionsays - and don't get hung up on a fancy box, limited mintage or certificate as all essentially worthless.

Its not a coin that i had much interest in and one I'd never own.

My mate is a collector/stacker so he'll probably end up with it.

May try and find out how much it cost though.

My guess is around £425

But it's H&B and their formula has to be something like spot price × 2 + fancy box + certificate + some more that covers the free postage + a chunk more for good measure

Plus also they need to factor in 20 marketing mailshots that you end up with which will cost them 20 quid in postage!

...which probably adds up to a full bullion sov plus a few ounces of silver for good measure. Even from a pricey dealer!

Yes - their paper is of a very high quality, the type I am sure our Royals use.
I have in the past however had some great buys both gold and silver from HB at prices not seen anywhere else.
Perhaps an error or just a baited offer - don't care if I get a bargain.
