celtic_coin Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) As the title. Jon Blyth seems to apply the price of 1893 Jubilee head threepence on the price of 1893 veil head threepence. The coin is at least eight times overpriced. https://jonblyth.com/coins/coin-details.aspx?id=2561 Edited March 21, 2021 by celtic_coin Quote

VickySilver Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 Wow, as you say it must be a mistake - MS67 just can not give that sort of value! Quote
Michael-Roo Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 All his pricing is hefty IMHO https://jonblyth.com/ Quote

celtic_coin Posted March 21, 2021 Author Posted March 21, 2021 The problem of John Blyth is, he is trying to sell the slab, not the coin. 1 Quote
celtic_coin Posted March 21, 2021 Author Posted March 21, 2021 Numistacker has stated in a video that he and Jon Blyth are friends. You can tell that from John's website. Quote

It still requires someone who believes in the slab and his valuation to buy it. There's a huge number of people who only buy the slab number, so someone might go for it at that level. Quote

It's the best year by a country mile. Book of £90 is mean. Quote
1887jubilee Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Steep prices indeed but you can't argue with the quality. There is a whole world of investors rather collectors out there. The Americans at Heritage and the Japanese seem to be driving tremendous prices. Just sit back and increase your insurance Quote

Just sit back and increase your insurance That is why for quality coins and rare coins I tend to be more luxury when bidding in the auction. Otherwise they will end up in the hands of "dealers" like Jon, which will turn up with a price I cannot afford. Edited March 22, 2021 by celtic_coin Quote
blakeyboy Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 This is getting like the prices for old Fords. My dad's old Capri is now in £40k+ territory. Madness. Trouble is, money isn't worth anything at the moment, but things are..... Will it all crash down again? Quote

"Pound to a penny" ... yes. Compare the coin market in 1971, and in 1985, and other times too I'm sure. Then think of property in the early 90s, and shares at various different times. Gold in the late 90s. Nothing ever keeps going up. 1 Quote
VickySilver Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 However even if granted the 67, and I don't think it is for what it's worth, the coin is not scarce and not of such a value. There is an American firm, the proprietor of which gets mad when I bust him out that does much worse than Jon. He knows who he is, but likely cares not and laughs all the way to the bank as he takes coins at 1-5k USD range at auction and then trebles or better their price after slabbing. He is willing to hold for however long and takes "offers" on occasion. Quote
celtic_coin Posted March 23, 2021 Author Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) https://jonblyth.com/coins/coin-details.aspx?id=2501 The 1728 shilling ms63 for 2500 pounds is reserved, while the fair price is about 1250 pounds... Edited March 23, 2021 by celtic_coin Quote
blakeyboy Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 The value of vintage pro-audio doesn't do the ups and downs of gold etc., but dealers will put up a piece of gear that is normally £5k on their site for £10k, everybody spots this and hopes to sell their example, then the unit sells, so they put up 'sold'. Everyone thinks it's sold for £10k, so by extension theirs is worth £10k, but in fact someone walked in with 5 or 6 grand in cash and did the deal. Meanwhile all the idiots start touting their units all over ebay etc at stupid prices and it's like the Wild West.... Quote
