No one hates dealers, more the obscene amounts they can charge compared to the price paid. One example of this is the 120k coin sold at the Spink Slaney sale now asking for 220k for the same coin, a little ridiculous IMO

 

It's called "free market" Dave! Ha,Ha!

It is a free market Bob, an expensive one if you don't do your homework though. Nothing personal against people making a living and so on, but I can't fathom why someone would pay 100k more on a known coin, I mean, the book price for the coin I'm hinting about is 55k VF,  not sure why it would quadruple in price after a dealer buys it for 120k, surely if he's paying that then it's already at market value.

Anyway been a long day already....Need to take care of my pet troll

You are right about market value pricing...the last sale is the market price, at the time...until the next sale...then the next sale becomes the market value!

Its priced as such as (presuming i know what coin you are talking about) as its owner is at heart still a collector. If someone wants it, they've got to pay what he wants. If i could afford to operate like that and buy that type of coin i wouldn't want to sell it either

at 120k i wouldn't be buying coins, maybe a house somewhere sunny

I believe it's until there's only 1 bidder left in, so it will vary for each coin

Sounds like The same As they did with The Workman collection, seems to work. Might hab a Look when bids have been added and See what we're dealing with 

[PWA 1967 1,841]

A week unless you are outbid ......You then have the chance to bid more so a couple of lots may go longer .

There's a thread in the forum about it, more than just the 2 types where the four is placed

[Nordle11 564]

Here look at Dave's post

[PWA 1967 1,841]

Dont no if the 1904,s i sent you Matt were part of that bag of varieties.

There are loads but £10 not a lot of money if you want one 

[scott 129]

yea but there are 2 types of 4 to tooth i think, i'm more interested in the 04 close part.

cant find another example on ebay atm either.

 

[PWA 1967 1,841]

Scott ......Groom book mentions about 8.

Although with date widths and plumes i have had 13 

Pete.

[Nordle11 564]

No 1904s Pete. I have a 4 to tooth but it's not as slanted as Steve's one. Somewhere between his and the normal variety

[Nordle11 564]

Some of the bids are starting to be added to the site now. I have one question, why has lot 140 been sold already? Or is it a typo?

[PWA 1967 1,841]

Its a TYPO Matt will be deleated soon 

[Nordle11 564]

Well, I assume a typo as it's now without bids.

[1949threepence 3,366]

Well I've put my two bids in, although whether I'll still have enough money to still be in the race at the end, is a moot point. 

Edited May 17, 2016 by 1949threepence
typo

[bhx7 222]

I have a couple of bids in now myself. Not sure if I will come out with any in the end. Would just be nice to say I had an Ex-Copthorne in my collection =D

 

[mrbadexample 985]

I tried putting a couple of bids in last night but they didn't appear to be submitted for some reason. Do you get email confirmation or anything?
