Double strike.

There are some bargains today, with a couple rather high. A real curate's egg of a sale.

Just left... Did pick up a couple of pennies. Glad I went to view the coins, though, as often the photos just aren't good enough to see minor issues. Progress was very slow due to Internet lag.

It did seem that many lots were going for less than the estimates, although the choice items were still fetching good prices.

These Viccy sovereign prices are a bit mad! Some (the EF and better ones) going for 6 times estimate or more!

Yes, but the estimates are less than half Spink book, so most are going for UNC plus a bit, or say 2-3x book.

I see ... never taken notice of this series before, just left the audio running and was surprised so many of the estimates were so far out, is this common practice?

For my two successful bids I paid £20 and £30 below the high end of the estimate range and right on the maximum I was willing to pay.

I think the sovereigns were estimated low because there are so many of the same dates.

I paid high for one which I really wanted, got one for mid estimate and couldn't refuse the other at £40 below lowest estimate...hopefully it was worth a gamble!!

I won one, at £10 less than low estimate and considerably less than I was prepared to pay, so pretty happy :)

It depends, the sale doesn't finish until tomorrow, so they might not have done all of them yet.

Everyone should know how much they bid, so everyone should know if they won or not unless it is at their maximum

The best place to snaffle a sovereign is in the peripheral auction houses that sell a few antiques and a bit of jewellery, etc. UNC sovs go for the same price as fine most of the time, bought only at bullion value (which is in favour of the collector right now) by non coinies!
