argentumandcoins Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 N888eds, Dave (Azda) poked me as promised, which wasn't as painful as it sounds!I don't know what your expectations are but if you are looking at recouping what was paid to Keith Bayford you may well be out of luck. Myself, or any other dealer, would have to buy at a price where we can make a profit otherwise we become charitable organisations rather than dealers.If you are thinking of using Corbitts I can't counsel against it. You will get an offer way below what you want but they have premises to run etc. You can give me a call if you wish or contact via email and I'll try to help as best I can, but please make it during normal working hours.John.

Coinery Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Clive is just outside London, in Runnymede, or he says so on his websiteI think he spends some time in Durham still? Not sure of the exact details??? Quote
Nutsaboutcoins Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 You could try taking them to the Stamp and Coin Fair at York Rasecourse this Friday and Saturday. There will be plenty of dealers willing to give you their opinion after being able to see the coins in hand. Quote
N888eds Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 Does anybody have rough idea of the value of these Quote
mhcoins Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 £500 for the half sov of 1820£600 for the matt proof sov & half would be my offer Quote
mhcoins Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 of course this is based on just the pictures provided Quote
mhcoins Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Its difficult only judging from a photograph that doesnt really allow you to examine the coin properly. Like argentumandcoinssaid, i too would be buying them as a dealer and would need to make a profit on them. They arent without wanting to offend rare coins nor difficult to obtain, therefore they aren't quick sellers and would probably sit on my website for sometime.A recent example of the 1902 sov didnt sell in a very well known American dealers auction for $400.

N888eds Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 A deller offered me 300 more than your price , was only an idea of value , im not in need of quick cash but thanks Quote
Coinery Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I doubt there are very many on here who could advise on the notes? Peter dabbles I believe? Mostly the two don't go together, strangely? Quote

azda Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Maybe ask Pam Weat for advice, she is a banknote dealer Quote
Peter Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Chris (Predecimal) does a great reference book on notes.About 10 years ago I tried to put together a collection of £1 and 10/- notes.I got most of them including replacement notes back to pre world war 11.I started off when a good buddy(fine art auctioneer) gave me an unopened wage packet from 1940.Being a 60's lad I often had 10/- and £1 notes in my birthday cards although my grandads brother always put in £5. I'm no expert but enjoy the sideline (for my sadness I also have a collection of cheques) Quote

Coinery Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Nice one! Hope you got something out of coming on here? Don't forget us the next time something nice comes your way! Quote
N888eds Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 Nice one! Hope you got something out of coming on here? Don't forget us the next time something nice comes your way! I have an other lot of those 1820 sovereigns , but i may hold on to them for abitDealer paid a very good price for them , received some good advise from a few on here , but when it comes to selling i think il look into properly as i did with 3 i sold , good job i didnt jump straight in and sell to those who made offers , id have been a good 400 light Quote

You have to cover yourself by a small margin to allow for the details you can't see in an image, that could easily drag the resale value down by £600...what would you do if you were speculating on a grainy picture of a replacement car, which was due an MOT?Glad you got a result though! 1 Quote

Oh sorry I didn't mean too be cheeky towards anyone , I totally agree with what you say , my photos where terrible if I say so myself ,Sorry don't mean to offend anyone wasn't aimed at anyone either sorry Quote
N888eds Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 The 3 coins I sold , have an other 3 or each of them , when the cash I've sold others for I'm putting into buying different ones , all a learning curve for me Quote

Nightvision Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Slightly off topic but http://resizeyourimage.com/ is an online tool very useful for anyone wrestling with image sizes for the web. I think it was mentioned elsewhere that 600 ppi is a decent size to show off a coin. Quote
azda Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 If you use an Image Hosting site you won't have to worry about size Quote
