Today I bought this good. Buy or Bad ???

[Guest]

S o. T his. Cos t me £45- 0 vat what. Do you guys think??

I'll break it to you gently - I think you paid a bit too much.

[sixgun]

In all honesty i think you paid twice as much as it is worth.

This suggests the silver in the coin is worth 11.84€, so i am probably being very generous saying you paid twice what it is worth, three times would be nearer the mark. Let this be a lesson. There are many many of this sort of coin knocking about. You can see them all the time on ebay. i have bought them in big collections in boxes off ebay but i aim to spend the value of the metal and a bit for the velvet box and capsules. They have next to no collector value.

@sixgun @Shinus73 thanks guys probably the reason why the guy wanted me to buy it but hey ho it's my first coin beginners mistake

[Shinus73]

Call it a learning experience - most commemorative sterling silver crowns of this type, from all around the Commonwealth, tend to go for around £15 tops at the moment.

@Shinus73 do you know any decent sites other than bullion post  and preferably not from the us?

[shawy2510]

Personally I would put a wanted thread up here if you are after silver coins as somebody will always be willing to sell at a price suited to both.

Best not to worry about your purchase today - we have all done it at some point or another I am sure. 

My best advice would be to absorb as much knowledge as possible from watching videos on YouTube and threads on this forum. 

Feel free to check out the recent group order I arranged - I have a new one open now but you won't see the thread until tomorrow as you are a standard member 

As for good places to buy silver:-

www.goldsilver.be/

www.silver-to-go.com

www.coininvest.com

for gold best to stick in the UK

Not quite an ounce. Most of these coins are 28.28g in total weight, this coin is no different. It is Sterling silver, so 0.925 pure silver. So you are up 26.16g of silver or 0.84oz

Sorry to break it to you mate but your not 1oz up as it's 28g of 925 silver..£45 that's naughty that!

[Kman]

Probably best to just buy on here atm, people offer bits and bobs of silver quite regularly. 

[Goldmick]

I'm gunna be putting some nice 1oz silver coins on here very soon and gunna be good price so keep a look out on the UK sale page 

[Guest]

I'm off to a car boot on Saturday any advice on buying coins at a boot sale? I know most. Will be 925 and I know I can haggle because if. They are selling coins at a boot sale they obviously dont know the value right?

For sure if And when you do just. Pm me?

[Danny-boy]

I think the seller did well at £45.

These coins are not particularly sought after, notoriously hard to sell, and rarely fetch much more than about £20.

[Goldmick]

Will do and I won't rip you or anyone on here off all my coins are very nice lol
