1859 Sov currently at 600 quid

[TheGoldSovereign]

Can't see anything I missed here, as soon as it was listed this had 48 bids in a few hours. Why?

shill bidding or maybe people think it's an Ansell?

[TheGoldSovereign]

Yea, Ansell was the only flag I could see, but collectors aren't that dumb?

shouldn't be. he's a well known dealer and no way would he make the mistake af selling an Ansell accidently. The photos are very good too, so no doubt. He has made a bid thing of the rarity so maybe the bidders are getting carried away, you know what ebay can be like!

Hi, might be being stupid here but what is an Ansell?

thanks

The seller clearly knows his customer base-

He has used the words NICE and RARE in capital form

I wish some of the sovereigns I have been selling recently would get that kind of bidding attention!

I don't see an additional line on the ribbon.
