Sorry but am i missing something here
The coin is from a 1937 proof set (or is it ) i could buy a full set for that and if i took my time would find a nice one as plenty available.
Even if i put the crown in plastic i would still be happy with a lot less than £475.
So based on the pricing £475 do you think that is ok for a normal one ?.
To defend the seller is fine and always two sides to every story....... i am the first to defend anyone and going to leave this thread now
Perhaps he was to busy.........
The question is why knock over £2K off and if he acknowledges it is now not one why is he still listing it as such on a different platform.
In answer to your question yes anyone who trys to sell a coin for £2K plus knowing that its worth £100 is totally out of order.
He sold the coin originally at a price listed at £2,850.00.
Now a month later he is happy to sell it for £475.......Still listed as VIP.
Surely you would get a second opinion and if he was sure why not put in a LCGS holder rather than sell it for £2K less ,would only cost £30/40 or so.
Makes me think he did not have a clue what it was or trying to have someone over either way he is best leaving them alone and should IMO of made a big apology to the buyer.
Maybe he did and the biggest lesson learned is leave them well alone if not in a designated slab or you have the knowledge to be sure seeing the coin in hand.
Nothing to do with me or any of my business just wouldnt like anyone else to pay way over trusting a dealer.
What this does show looking earlier is how many decimal collectors there is.
Looking at compleated listings of the one mentioned they are selling hundreds
Well as each day goes on there is more of them and all will be put away.....or sold (to be put away ) .
If they were mine i would have put two on ebay already why you got £50 for the other one.
No i wouldnt......i would of put all three on
Olympic swimmer with lines is a bit different there is only 600 of them.
How many are they giving out of these everyday ,i dont have a clue as never been ?
Why did someone pay so much ?.
I assume its different in some way but what please ?.
It wont be worthwhile going again , now you have put it on here you got £50 there will be loads on next week
Set your maximum your prepared to go to....bid on the first if you get it job done , if not got another chance
If you dont get any ....go and get drunk instead
Just putting some scrap silver together and have a 2001 Silver dollar and seems a shame to just melt it down.
