Snowman 50p Proof 2018

[zeusss4]

I've just ordered 3 white box to go with my black box. They didn't mention a personalisation so I'm assuming they will be blank. 

Have a made a mistake order these white boxes, I've noticed someone has them on eBay at £90

Cheers

After Christmas probably yea 

 

[zeusss4]

Yes £75 each. I will shift them on but will wait until nearer xmas as there is hundreds available at the moment 

[danmc82]

Still a wide range of sold prices on ebay. Some going for  £140, some nearly £200.

I've seen one go for £210 which had a low COA in the 200's

[HelpingHands]

It looks like around 80 separate listings have sold within the last 24 hours.

Hopefully the 2000 black boxes don't all flood ebay at the same time.

I think anyone in the know will want the 'full fat' version (as someone on here - soz, forget who termed it that) although I'm really pleased for those who missed out on the initial sale to grab what is an utterly stunning coin and presentation (with the perspex)

How many black boxes do you have? Maybe better in a few months time to sell when ebay has calmed down abit.

[HelpingHands]

I agree.  And I'm still expecting the full-fat version to get to the  £350-£450 range.

So the black boxes could be £250 as long as there isn't over supply in the tight window up to Christmas.

Some panic-present buyers could pump the price.

None of the black ones.  Just the first release.  I've told a couple of people to ring up and get some of the black boxes so we'll see.

Will there be a Post Office PNC cover with Stamps and Coin ??????????????

Typical, seems like i'm the only one that got a defective coin! Sending back to the RM tomorrow, not sure what my chances are of a replacement and if still in the nice original packaging!

You just need to get creative with your ebay patter:

Limited edition 'snowman already melting' coin. Only 1 in existence.  MEGA ULTRA RARE. 

 

[HelpingHands]

One of mine has a thin line snowman missing elsewhere.  I don't think I'll return it though.

If I get one of those other box versions I might swap them over.

Try calling them and say you will only return the coin no box etc and they in return send you a new coin ?

Why not just send the coin back? They have black boxes they could just pop a coin out and send to you

[fehk2001]

Seems like auction fetch much higher price compare to buy it now prices 

 

[h103efa]

Just noticing sold prices of the coin, higher prices with the low CoA numbers.

I'm guessing the want for low CoA numbers is that the coin has less imperfections or is it just a desire for those certificates? Is there any data comparing quality/grading of coins of low and high CoA?

It’s mostly because people are bonkers.

I am pretty sure that certs are not allocated to coin production in chronological order.

They most likely mint a big batch of coins and the boxing + cert stuck in a box comes at a later process.

[GrahamDiamond]

One low number 68 sold for £267, Crazy !!

[danmc82]

I saw one on eaby which said "Low Mintage" and the number was in the 14,000's 😆

In your case if you have spend “ more “ you can ask your account manager to “ try their best “ to allocate better coa for you 

they will say they cannot guarante but usually they will make it 

the key is spend enough on the same product
