2014 1oz UK Lunar horse proof

[HighlandTiger]

The man says $57.50 plus shipping. He does have a reputation for getting stuff here without VAT but not sure how he'd get on with multiples.

 

Well I'd be interested at that price. What's the next step then? Any volunteers to sort out a group buy?

[daz]

Id still be interested as well

[Cully]

I'm still interested too at that price.

[Danny-boy]

Me too.

[sovereignsteve]

I'm talking to him at the moment about shipping etc. It may be he can sort things out better individually. Will update.

[Cornishfarmer]

im still in also, would he take paypal?

I would think so.

[sovereignsteve]

What's the general feeling about this. Would you guys prefer someone to organise a bulk/group purchase or deal individually?

[Cornishfarmer]

What's ever is best but I really would 1 or 2 of these. Happy either way,

[daz]

I don't mind , happy either way

[Cully]

What's the general feeling about this. Would you guys prefer someone to organise a bulk/group purchase or deal individually?

I don't mind either way too, would shipping be cheaper on a bulk/group buy?

[Danny-boy]

I'm not fussed - I'll go the cheapest possible route.

[silverin]

I would be interested too if we can get something sorted.

[woody65]

I'd be in for 1 or 2 if possible?

[HelpingHands]

If a group buy was organised I would likely join in. I'm not bothered enough to sort out an individual order though.

[sovereignsteve]

Group buy probably not best idea. see my post in premium section.

[Cully]

I know everyone is getting carried away by the price & I hope it is genuine my question is this, why is the seller selling these coins at less than 30% of the going rate. The guy is an experienced seller so will no doubt have done his homework. If he offered them at £90-£100 instead of £33 they would still be an excellent buy.

 

Caveat emptor and all that.

You may have been right

Get the silver dip out

 

Video says the spots can't be seen with the naked eye, in that case it wouldn't bother me  

[Danny-boy]

Im with HT on this one.

Not bothered if I can't see it.

That's absolutely fine if it is for your own collection,if you have to/or want to sell it, a proof collector would notice and would return the coin if you had not declared it to them.Like anything you get what you pay for.If it fills a hole in your collection fine,if you are buying extra's to flip you'll make very little or nothing buying a coin with a known defect.

But what I'm saying is, if you can't see it with the naked eye then it's not a known defect.

Do you inspect your proofs with a loupe?

Do you inspect your proofs with a loupe?

I do it every time I buy proof.

I have paid high price so I always expect in mint condition.

I don't want that it loses worth next year

[Danny-boy]

And you would send it back with defects not visible to the naked eye?

[motorbikez]

But what I'm saying is, if you can't see it with the naked eye then it's not a known defect.

Not every coin no,but I always without exception buy the best possible example.Bl--dy h-ll you get people on here complaining about a fault on a £18 Bu coin,so someone who buys a proof with a known fault is asking for grief somewhere down the line unless it is very rare and/or fills a hole in your collection.Now that this coin has been outed on Youtube everyone who buys one is going to look at it with a loupe.

[Danny-boy]

Not every coin no. Now that this coin has been outed on Youtube everyone who buys one is going to look at it with a loupe.

So if you bought one of these, you probably wouldn't have inspected with a loupe.

I think a very small amount of purchasers would ever inspect with magnification to be honest, if you don't then it must be a rare trait.
