There is method behind the madness

Yes a bargain indeed. Very decent of @RegalStacker to offer the coin at such a bargain price.

For me its not the value don't get me wrong I do take it into consideration. But some things I buy because I like them. I do like my collection to have there original boxes. That's why Ive ordered one from India.
It is a bit naughty removing the contents from its packaging and charging £19 to get the original COA.

I noticed that today. The coin is supposed to come with a box and coa Ive bought them before.  The following is from Royal Mint MMTC-PAMP 
The Royal Mint, MMTC-PAMP India minted Sovereign is packaged in a distinctive individually serial numbered, sealed packaging which carries the UK Royal Mint certificate of gold content and its purity. These features assure you are buying the genuine Sovereign, rather than an imitation.
These impeccably crafted, precious and timeless coins are of supreme craftsmanship, beauty and provenance with a history to match. Such is the heritage and quality of these Indian Sovereigns that our customers will never feel disappointed. The Indian struck Sovereign is exclusively available as both a half Sovereign coin and a full Sovereign from our authorized distributors Each Sovereign and Half Sovereign is delivered in a deluxe presentation box, along with a certificate of authenticity booklet.

Revived the Queen's Best Dragon of Wales MS70. I'm now  up to date  Thanks for this @Pampfan 
Also received the India sovereign. I have been collecting these for a while and this is the first one I have received split from its box and COA.

Received my Christmas raffle prize.  Balwick of Gurnsey five pound coins and a neat little box. Thanks to @Goldmick

Thanks watched it at auction. The price was right so I couldn't resist the temptation. 

Received this a few weeks ago from baldwins. Thought id share 1801 Columbia Eight Escudos.
The five pound sovereign is for size comparison.

Great coins. Was this from Dios111 Precious coins?

A few bits to add to the collection. 
The Perth mint 1oz gold Dragon coin bar and the Dragon and Phoenix gold coin. 
 

One of my recent additions to my 1937 collection.
1937 Proof Penny graded PF67 BN By NGC with a top population of one.
This coin was advertised on the famous auction site. Unfortunately the seller would not post outside the USA.  So I could see the coin but not purchase it.
This is where the forum and the community helped me out. 
Thanks to the help and efforts of long time forum member @Pampfan I was able to acquire the coin.
Thanks @Pampfan you made it possible 😎
 

The Queens's Beasts Unicorn Of Scotland One Ounce Proof.
I think this coin is much nicer than the Lion. The way the daylight reflects off the unicorn is great.

 

Another knock at the door and these little gems turned up 2016 Libertad Proof 1/10

Time will tell what will happen with the price and if the bids are genuine
Personally I hope they are and I think it's wonderful if people have made such a profit on a modern coin (albeit drawing from a historic design)
 

My thinking exactly Russell.  Aside from the inital high(ish price), it seemed to tick every box in my head for a potential classic coin
Whilst immediate profit would be nice, i think this will be "sleeper" for years to come. Supply VS Demand.  If NO supply but lots of demand, as Yazz sang "the only way is up ! "
