Thank you so much for taking the time to type such a comprehensive answer. A lot of very useful information in there for a beginner like me. Thanks.

Avoid any offer by any Mint, especially Pobjoy and its ilk, but that includes the Royal Mint too, which has a nice sideline in "limited edition" issues which collectors cannot get back what they paid for. I would start by finding a reputable coin dealer nearest to you, and cultivating their acquaintance. They will be glad to spend time with a new collector, who might spend money with them over time. Or the good folks here will readily give of their time, experience, and advice. Thanks Peckris. I think I am now wise to the "limited edition" concept...thankfully the first lesson wasn't overly expensive.

Thanks TomGoodheart. In that case, I paid far too much for it...I'm new to coin collecting and it looks like I've just learnt my first lesson. Where would you recommend for finding the melt price of coins like this to avoid future overpayment? Thanks

Reverse:

Hi, Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere on the forum (I ran a search and didn't find anything). I'm new here. I have a 1988 Isle of Man 1/20oz 22ct Angel. As I understand it, there were only 1,000 of these minted. I may be interested in selling mine, but (probably due to the limited number minted) I can only find one of these for sale online. Would anyone here know what the approximate value of this coin is and maybe suggest where best to sell this? I have attached a scan of the front (I will also try to attached reverse side of coin below). If anyone is interested in buying, please also let me know. Many thanks in anticipation.
