A good deal?

[Hussulo 6]

I just found out that I have won these. I think I've just made a good buy. I bought these coins for a hammer price of $900 (still have 15% commission and postage to pay on top).

The 1879 Sydney Sovereign is listed as £400 EF, £1650 UNC in Chris's Collectors coins GB 2008.

The American auction house listed the coins as:

4 Gold Coins Australia Newfndld Canada Britain COINS - Lot of 4 gold coins, Australia 1 sovereign Sydney mint 1866, Newfoundland 2 Dollars 1888, Canada 5 Dollars 1912, British Sovereign 1879.

British Sovereign 1879??? in actual fact Sydney mint.

Chris I see that in Collectors coins GB you value the 1879 S Sovereign at quite a high price in UNC.

Can I ask why? is it due to some auction results? its just the price in Coin Yearbook (News) for this date in UNC seems to be a lot lower.

Yes it is isn't it. You'd have to ask Allgold of Sevenoaks (Clive) as they do the prices for the gold coins, I just paste 'em in.

Ok thanks Chris.

I recently received the four gold coins I won at the US auction and just got round to photographing them.
