azda Posted September 23, 2012 Author Posted September 23, 2012 well i know where it wont end up TBH i'd love to think this is genuine. The seller sells many Sovs, but a rarity such as this on ebay is somewhat strange to me. An EF graded coin in Spinks is around 8500 quid. Why put this coin on ebay if its so rare? Quote

Why put this coin on ebay if its so rare?I can't vouch for authenticity, but ebay often exceeds major auctions at final hammer, AND only have a 10% sellers fee! I think all the serious collectors/dealers have a pretty good handle on eBay nowadays, despite everything that's said! Look at us lot, for instance, when something special comes along (not saying this is) we're all drooling and speculating, CALCULATING, twitching, itching...there are quite a few armchair bidders methinks!Most of the quality hammered is almost untouchable on eBay! C'mon, Dave, you use one of those electro cleaners, any good for this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170910669150?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Quote

We should be looking at 5k or more for this Sov Edited September 23, 2012 by azda Quote
