Thinking of selling my gold noble.....

[Figgins]

 

We're moving house, and as a result, sadly I'm thinking of selling my gold noble. Has anyone any experience of selling one or recommendation on how to sell.

I don't think the pictures have come through.

Tough one with these older coins. You could check the BNTA site and try to find a local dealer. Something this specialised might have to go to a dealer (if you want a quick sale). Selling privately or at auction could net you a bit more if you have some time to wait for the right buyer.

This looks to be a really nice coin. I've looked on eBay and it seems to be very similar to an Edward IV noble.  Is this correct?  The prices range between £6,500-£12,000.  At this sort of price, maybe you need to speak to an expert dealer/auctioneer (e.g. Spink in London), or go back to the person you bought it from?

A Tower mint Edward iv noble, it's one of the heavier pieces I've seen; the price ranges seem somewhere between 6k+ and 16k. 

Thanks for the suggestions; I've contacted a view to get the feelers out.

Thanks for the reference to the BNTA site for local dealers. Sadly, there aren't any registered dealers in my area, with the nearest some 70+ miles away.

I'm in no rush, just getting the feelers out in prep for the OH saying they want a new kitchen or some other project when we move. If a good offer comes in I'll drop it.

I would suggest auction for this example.  But would need to be Baldwins or similar.

Might be worth approaching Sov Rarieites or Similar.  They certainly but at Auction and it may work out for you.

Cheers' i have contacted Baldwins with a number of coins. The first coin to have a guide price I'm not impressed with. it's really low in comparison to one that sold elsewhere (approx. 25-30%). I've contacted sovr.

You could try the forum sales section, a £15K 10oz coin sold last week so it's not impossible someone may be interested.

I'm not sure if they're members on the forum, but it could be worth trying Nigel Mont Gomery (Philatec Heritage) or Max Hughes (MJ Hughes Coins). 

I've seen both deal with similar items on their websites and Facebook groups.

There are people on the forum who are buy special coins with high price tags.  I would offer it here - nothing to lose….

It's not actually a noble, it's a ryal aka a Rose Noble. They are different to the old Edward III to Henry VI nobles. I believe they were worth 10/- instead of 6/8d.

Thank you for clarifying, yes, it's a Ryal or Rose Noble i believe 10 shillings, the Edward III noble being 6 shillings and 8d.

It's actually a really nice coin. Don't sell it unless you really have to! Ryals are much less encountered than the common garden nobles.

Maybe contact a dealer and negotiate a commission and let them sell it on their website or at a fair- try Martin at AMR coins- he also co- owns Hosker Haynes auction:
