closed 1989 Proof Sovereign - PCGS Graded with BOX and COA.

I still don't understand the 1978 reference?

I'm sure if the seller wouldn't object to sending the coin before payment to a TSF "respected" member, it would sell at the right price. PR64 doesn't set the world on fire but it's a decent coin nonetheless. The £800 achieved on ebay wasn't far off the mark but the fees would have been hard to take.

can I ask roughly how much is the realistic price for a 1989 sovereign ?

I'm asking because I see different prices out there.

I guess the short (and unhelpful answer!) is as much as someone is prepared to pay! 

I would like this coin too.  On eBay there is a massive spread in the price for this Sovereign, I have seen a recent sale of a raw one for £750 and there is a PF69 currently attracting 24 bidders and it stands at £1000 with over 5 days to go. 

Buy-it-now’s range from £800 to around £1500.

In summary, who knows what the true value might be!

For me, I would agree with  @Numistacker, who has made reference to this in a fairly recent video, the 1989 2 Sovereign appeals more in terms of value (and risk) and is the coin I would more likely buy in this year date, I would find it difficult dropping £800 plus on this year date Sovereign.  

I own the half Sovereign it was a nice compromise for me.

I’m sure in a few years however, I’ll potentially lament missing out at £800!

Like @sovereignsteve says, I think this particular coin made about the right amount in its unfortunately, failed sale on eBay.  If I didn’t have other priorities, I might well of made @chriswhite90 an offer.

If it helps I am happy to send the coin to a trusted member first before payment.  

As I say I am being realistic with the price of £900.00 inc the BOX and COA.

Nice coin, good luck with the sale.

[chriswhite90]

Many thanks, yes it is, as mentioned earlier I just need to release some funds so happy to accept offers........I am happy to send to a trusted seller in advance of payment if that helps.

The coin has now been sold to the original eBay buyer, the issues with PayPal have now been resolved.....

[Tn21]

Can mark as completed or withdrawn if no longer available for sale.

Sold on e-Bay for £800 but backfired.
Back of the envelope calculation - e-Bay fee 10% = £80
PayPal fee 3.4% = £27
Total fees ( approx ) £107
Net amount in the bank = £693 or thereabouts

Asking on the forum £900 !

[chriswhite90]

If you had read the above, the eBay sale has now completed after I had earlier PayPal issues, the coin has been sold to the original buyer on eBay.

Not sure why your butting in if you had no intention but to be sarcastic.....keep your nose out....

I am still waiting for 'Whytuk' at Paddington Station to pay for the last round pound he had from me. Only to buy it back cheaper a week later after funds were not received. 

Karma. Is. A. Bitch. 

 

 

[chriswhite90]

another KC sticking his 10 pennies worth in.......

[Harry]

Absolutely. I don't forget. 

[Fivepoundfred]

This coin is for sale again on Ebay, now £979.00 best offer.

[danmc82]

He already sold it on the 9th through ebay 🤨 Its on his feedback as received?

[Fivepoundfred]

Looks like a new seller ? But you never know on Ebay, so many people have numerous accounts !

[Skelator88]

That’s a seller with multiple accounts all that are similar to Osborne

Those Osborne accounts give me the heeby jeebies, i come across them so much in my searches in Ebay but dont feel right to buy!

wrt the OP. I was actually watching that coin originally on ebay when it apparently sold for £800, and then a day later appeared on here as a first post! Seemed odd (but thought probably innocent) but i let @morezone know. Looks like it was a wise decision!

I’ve bought and sold to those accounts with no issues, seems to be a buy cheap sell higher dealer that’s all
