This thing is byb said the seller didn't bear the cost so seem.s the sellers were being greedy to me is that right 

Ebay took the hit on price, so if sellers bumped up prices during that deal then yes, it was them being a bit greedy imo (if they were prepared to sell cheaper with the fees before the discount, then to take advantage of the offer (as sellers not buyers during it was 'opportunistic') - though I don't blame them as long as the buyers were happy too).

@Goldmick Funny thing is that this morning I looked at these on Ukgoldbullion.com website and ended up emailing MMTC Pamp in India to ask about the mintage for each year of these.

I could only find one quote of the 2013 being at 80,000 and the 2014 full sovereign at 150,000 but this was not from their website. There was a five year licence granted by the Royal Mint for Pamp to make these.

UKbullion (horrible company in my experience who I will never deal with again, or their 'sister' company which is more expensive but has the same staff!) said long ago they couldn't get the mintages for the 2017s. I don't trust those mintages for previous years. I haven't seen a numbered card in the UK above 2000 for 2017, even when it took UKBullion a long time to supposedly get stock back in (and try to unfairly maximise the price because of the interest here imvho - check the thread at the time).

Now UKBullion are selling numbered coins less than ten away from the first ones I bought from them, after 'trying so hard' to get more stock, only to increase the price ridiculously because they knew they were 'hot' on here (and ebay for a little while). I don't buy any of it.

It's a lovely minted coin and a really nice pick up, and I'm glad I have four at a reasonable average price for gold content and 'the shinies', but I'd be very surprised to turn much of a profit on these. 2017 was awash with special Sovs - this wasn't one of them imvho.

Got my first Sovereign today. 1918 George V.

Two days worth of receivage! I'm quite surprised in the amount of differences between the 2017 and 2018 coins.

Another new addition to the 1/4 oz gold World Collection - Picked up for $100 Less than the list price for a raw coin from the royal mint. I have to say that although many dislike this coin, it actually grows on you the more you look at it. (And No - Not like a wart )

It's actually an aesthetically pleasing coin, draws you in...

Very good price for it raw, but with it graded 70 very nice. 

Big risk to list these newer coins at auction instead of BIN

Recent 2007 full proof sovereign purchase. I’m more of a stacker than collector but a proof here and there is ok!

Isn't that because it's closer to the camera?
