  1. By the looks of it the rim has a knock at about 5 o'clock, without that I would have said BUNC as the seller states
  2. The other Point being is that Spink Compiles their values from the previous year, so by the Time the Book comes out it's already obsolete, so checking through the 2015 auction results from around various auction houses would give a better guide. The reason i mentioned buckscoins was that he'd bought a Sov from Londons and in ttheir assesment of the coin it was good fine and the underlying numeral or whatever it is, in their eyes was indistinct, bucks had upped it a half grade and then became a 7 over 5. You Are doing the right thing by going through auction houses realised prices and you maybe can Buy Low grade sovs at bullion +20% but higher grade Viccies or rarities i doubt you'll get at bullion prices.
  3. Spink prices are for all metals, not just gold. Some of their prices for other coinage are also high, some low but it's not just dealers who use their bible, collectors also use it, but there is other price guides out there for all coinage of the U.K, you don't need to think Spink is the holy grail of pricing. Buy another 2 up to date price guides and take the average of the 3 and then see how much difference there is. Dealers also have to earn a living, but there are rarities in all denominations which you'll never pick up at bullion value no matter how much you think it's worth. If you bought a rare Sov at bullion price you'd be happy but would you be happy if the bullion price was 50% lower than when you bought the coin and someone else is expecting you to sell it at the bullion rate of the day? I very much doubt it. If you like sovs, stick to the early Victoria years, but don't expect them to come at bullion value, it just ain't gonna happen.
  4. I can't believe it was actually graded and slabbed Gary when you want to add an upload from your phone you must use the full version of the forum.

    Same die
  6. Generally speaking, artificial toning is often used to cover up an old cleaning. Generally speaking the Americans artificially tone coins to enhance the price, so it would depend where it was bought
  7. But you're in Spain
  8. A UNC hammered at £600 in March and not quite as nice as this one, I'd say the price is about right at the minute
  9. Alles gutes zum Geburstag
  10. Never slab during an up coming auction, the consignments take priority over fee paying customers which I find disgusting tbh
  11. That is an interesting coin, plus i Never thought i'd See you buy a Double struck coin. The Gold coloured one is also nice
  12. It's Most definately better than fine, it's VF and perhaps more.
  13. Never saw the Australian number which is probably where the confusion came from
  14. Drake, i'm not quite understanding your website, you have a British telephone number Set the coins Are priced in AU Dollars? Are you in Australia or the UK?
  15. Peter, I had an Alfa 2.4 V6, expensive to run and even more expensive to repair but did have it up to 240kmh on the autobahn before my bum started squeaking
  16. But as I wrote above, British buyers will look at British reference books plus there's no mention of the error in the label
  17. The other Point being is that British buyers wouldn't normally use Krause, they'd be checking British coin references such As Spink. This is Exactly what i thought would happen
  18. No mention of the spelling error then
  19. I would think that someone who slabs frequently receives a better manner than someone who slabs one coin in a blue moon. The fact of the matter is she should have the same manner with everyone who chooses to use her company for attribution, her manners are lacking and will only drive away potential customers who have used it once or twice to get a feel for what they do. It's certainly not a good way to get repeat business, nor is increasing the price of attribution and increasing the turnaround time.
  20. She isn't married..... I can't for the life of me think of a reason why she's not married
  21. You won't get a reply because Semra is judge, jury and executioner, she's boss man. Now that you know it's a kosha gothic I'd send it to PCGS, you can use a middle man, maybe Alan from MHCOINS?
  22. Semra has no manners at all to the people who pay her wages, she really needs to get laid and chill out
  23. The set sold last week.
  24. Could it be Irish? Hiberno Norse
  25. Hang in there buddy.
