Guest Luke Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Hi, I'm new to the forum, I'm looking to sell the above mentioned coins and was wondering if any one could give me a hand, I've been to a few jewelers and all I'm getting quoted is the spot gold price for each, The first is a 1912 near uncirculated Sovereign and the second is an uncirculated quarter ounce Krugerran dated 1981.If any one can give me a hand oris interested let me know, I'm open to offers that are reasonable,Cheers,Lukemy email Address is lukekeog@rawlinscollege.org.uk Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 The Kruger is certainly a bullion coin, as is the 1912 Sov unless it's really perfect.If i paid £55 for the sov I'd hope to perhaps sell it for £65. But I wouldn't pay £65 for it, that would be silly.The jewellers are being entirely fair with you. Quote
Guest Luke Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 what would you reckon is a decent price then as I am looking to sell I don't want to get ripped off. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 I'm not sure of the exact gold value right now, but a Quarter Kruger is about the same size as a Sovereign, so I would suspect the gold value for them both would be worth £100 - £110.Even if the coins are worth more on paper (say £60 - £65 each) you may as well not mess around and take melt value for them.

Chris Perkins Posted August 26, 2005 Posted August 26, 2005 If you send them to me fully insured to arrive between 9th - 16th Sep I'll give you the bullion value for them (whatever it is on the day) and I'll send money via BACS (or cheque):Mr C Perkins134 Skinner StGillinghamKentME7 1JZMake sure they get there between those dates as that's when I'm there.

Guest luke Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 Apologies, these two have gone, what do you reckon for a proof, 1980 full sovereign, would be willing to part from it for around £70-80?Luke Quote
Chris Perkins Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 £70 - £80 would be good enough for me. Quote
Guest Luke Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Shall we call it £80 with fully insured special delivery? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Sorry, I meant £70 or £80 would be good enough for me if I was selling one. I mis understood your offer of sale.It just isn't worth the effort for me to buy it for £80, then wait for a buyer for around £90. Sorry, I much prefer gold at bullion value than fancy 'collectors' items. Quote
