@Pampfan- I have to thank you, as I got myself some neodymium magnets - did a slide test with some Morgan dollars as controls, and its a FAKE! Slid off that coin faster than water off a ducks back.  I have learned the hard way and lost £40 ....be suspicious of eBay sellers who usually only have one coin for sell.  Looking at similar coins currently for sale I have to say I would have suspicions. 

I now need to test all of my other Morgans.....just in case. Fingers crossed.  

 

Sorry to here it is a fake.  Since becoming a forum member a few months ago I feel that as members of this community we can joke around and mess within our own but we never want to let one of our own get ripped off, etc.  That is one thing the forum can bring to its members - the knowledge base and the professional skepticism so that we can all learn and grow as collectors and complete the projects we undertake.

Just another 2016 full sovereign from Harrods. It's nice being able to sit down and scrutinise with a magnifying glass before buying. Did some nice Christmas shopping too.

Doubt i'll have any more cash for metals this month!

Sovs are the only coins they have under an ounce I think. All others are 1oz brits/krugs/pandas etc and good delivery bars if feeling flush. They do stock the full range of pamp bars though. Price is ok, not as bad as bbp and not as cheap as hgm! I just like being able to view a few and pick a nice one. Paid £237 for this one.

Atkinsons's price is around that delivered so that is a very fair price for Harrods.  Can't really compare to HGM since their stuff is secondary market but most places other than BBP are fair comparisons.

I wonder what is the maximum they will take in cash (and whether they ask for ID at 10K).

Everything seems very by-the-book. Need to open an account and provide photo ID which is scanned with every purchase.

I'd call that a very fair price for London in an upmarket shop, do they have a coin section or is it in the jewellery section?     

It's in Harrods bank on the second floor. They have coins and bars on display. Also open all day Saturday!

Talking about fakes, I took delivery of some poorly photographed pandas on eBay which turned out to be counterfeits yesterday. Fooled the missus at least, she didn't realise until I held them next to the genuine article. :D

The 06 looks a better fake than usual, except for the packaging

Nice one mate, I wanted one of those Britannia sets but every time I looked on both Island Stamps and Coins discount days they were sold out.
