For proof coins, I believe unless it's PF70, unfortunately anything below that grade is normally trading at spot price with max +10% premium if good days. As Paddy said, auction house is the most easiest way to get rid all in 1 go, but have to take into account the commission they are going to charge. If selling it individually or dealing it personally, also have to pay attention to the insurance limit of postage, especially nowaday 1oz gold already at over 3k. For bullion coins, i think it's a good deal if dealer is offering 100% spot. If you are going to sell at forum or private market, i think you may get 1-2% above spot. But again you have to take care postage, insurance etc. Hope this helps.

Similar here, i think around £40-50 maybe a fair price for KCIII definitive annual set at this moment.

Mrs is sometimes working at charity shop, and she told me she received some new £1, so i agree with Paddy, it's not too scarce.

Here you go! https://auctions.sovr.co.uk/index.php?option=com_timed_auction&auction_id=29&gridtype=listview

They stopped using easylive years already, so there is no upcoming LCA sales you can find in the portal

yes, years ago, you can bid through easyliveauction for LCA.

Agree, need to be very careful about description and their grading when going through LCA auction.

Oh....since i used to be outbidded at Noonans, i didn't pay too much attention to the auction. But i had a brief look that lot before and thought if the 44 penny was cleaned...not noticed the DFF😪

the bubble near SH"I"LLING is another hint of possibly counterfeit. Deliberately doing an imperfect toned coin making it harder to spot a fake coin.

Congratulation Paddy, it's a very very good find, I wish I can find the same in auction or elsewhere at a fair price too. By comparing your pictures with those in link provided and also discussion in another forum and taking into account toning and minor rim nick, I think it's likely a geniue one.

Sorry, only read the message now, and yes Rob explained the obverse 2.

Agree to all, 1859. Obverse 2, with 2nd I in BRITANNIAR to gap.

An example of excellent Google translate 😂

I would say go also cos once it is in your mind about upgrade, you will always think about it until it's upgraded. Take time to search for a similar tone and reasonably priced ones.

On the other hand, for 1887 Sixpence, JEB on Truncation is the one that keeps an eye on.
