  1. agree, especially they are going to have more profit through higher hammered price if decent photos are provided. I believe most of the potential buyers will stay away from these no pic lots or just place a much more prudence bids.
  2. yes, it's used to no image forever. Maybe you can try requesting pictures from Spink, and there is a chance they will provide you an image through email.
  3. Merry Christmas to you all, and wish you all have a happy and healthy new year!
  4. An additional proof...if you try searching the archive sales in their site and nothing is showed up, then it's not sold.
  5. Medal catalogue is online now. Some superb and rare examples, and in overall the estimates are very strong for all medals especially those more common ones.
  6. If you are in UK, better to invest in sovereign or britannia or other uk bullion, in view of taxation concern. For the pricing, the lower premium is always a better choice, however if go for private sales or dealer, have to ensure those are not counterfeit ones.
  7. Apart from whether it's legit, that way to do business is definitely an off to me. No one know what will be happened after payment. By the way, the toning of reverse is a bit odd to me.
  8. I love Gothic Florin, however those high quality ones are very pricey. In addition, I love to find varieties of Victorian Florin, especially those Jubilee and Old Head.
  9. The Jubilee head is more obvious. if compare Gothic Florin with Jubilee ones, the Gothic is usually less reflective or bright in obverse field.
  10. Same here, Florin and Shilling are also with reflective field.
  11. I also haven't seen one before.

    Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Medal

    Yes, white metal version is the most common version, followed by bronze, but cooperscoins have one silver selling, so cannot rule out yours. It's sometimes hard to 100% assure alloy from picture, may need to ping the sound or going through machine test to confirm it.

    Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Medal

    This is Heaton mint 38mm medal, check if there is a letter H at bottom of reverse side of medal. It's more often to see white metal version of this medal, so uncertain whether yours is a silver one.
  15. This month is quite quick for me from Semra, comparing with quarters ago, maybe they are a bit inconsistence about postage.

    Lucky that we can still have something to easily differentiate the fake at this moment.

    1919 kn forgery

    Yes, too good to be true, and i always believe i won't be that lucky to buy a bargain piece like that.

    A comparison of two auction houses

    Richard is the main contact point for all email communications, while name of Guy is only seen on doing the bank transfer, according to the experience before.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Surface of the coin is rough....but the most curious is the seller already sold 15pc, n have 8pc on sale. It's not often if not rare you can have so many same year Gothic Florin in collection.

    Ebay's Worst Offerings

    Yes, there will be much less trouble if all fakes are so obvious.

    2023 Royal Mint Unc. sets

    I also initially think the same like the wording "束" before, however it is a bit different after close look.
  25. I also use £80-100 as benchmark to bid through easylive. if i guess my winning lots exceed that sum, i will pay for the £3. Back to Coinery case, i remember there is no flat £3 option, and bidding through coinery website is less expensive than easylive portal. However, i am not sure about this now, coz i changed to bid through Coinery website since 2nd auction held by them because of the auction premium issue.
