closed Flash Auction! – Half Sovereign 1904 – Edward VII – UK 🇬🇧

[DuncanWylieWilson]

AUCTION! 🔨

Ex-jewellery half sovereign. Not the most attractive coin, hence the starting bid. Gold all the same and CGT free! 🤠

Start me at £160 (about £27 under spot) and bid in sensible increments.

Fully-insured Royal Mail Special Delivery to mainland UK will be included in the hammer price, regardless of what that may be.

Auction ends at precisely 2100 hours (9 PM) this evening. Bids placed after this time will be rejected, even if they are higher! 🤠

If joint bids are placed at the end then the auction will be defaulted to the bid which was placed first.

Payment via bank transfer to UK business bank account.

Thank you! ⭐️

Afraid not mate.

Must've been too busy at the garage getting your car repaired.

It may well have gone in after 21:00:00, but the forum software doesn't display the seconds portion, so it it common to accept valid bids up until 21:00:59 (unless otherwise stated).

To avoid this confusion, I always end my auctions exactly 1 second before (e.g. 20:59:59) so any bids after this are invalid (e.g. 21:00:00)
