Two Coins for sale

[Guest Luke]

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,

Luke

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.

[Guest Luke]

what would you reckon is a decent price then as I am looking to sell I don't want to get ripped off.

[Chris Perkins 228]

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.

[Guest Luke]

Know any one that might be interest?

[Chris Perkins 228]

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):

Make sure they get there between those dates as that's when I'm there.

[Guest luke]

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?

[Chris Perkins 228]

£70 - £80 would be good enough for me.

[Guest Luke]

Shall we call it £80 with fully insured special delivery?

[Chris Perkins 228]

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.

[Guest Luke]

Fair enough
