Some sovereigns

Hi all,  first post - be nice lol!

Not sure I'm even posting this in the correct forum - (admin, please move or delete as necessary) 

A local auction house is selling some gold coins and jewellery off, proceeds of crime.......

As i'm a newbie here I've no idea if they are a good deal.  I do know the auction house charges 22% commission.  btw - i have no connection with the auction house, i'm just signed up their new letter and thought I'd let you all know.

Cheers

Typical opening prices for them.  They won't sell for those.  The more modern ones will probably fetch £230-235 based on today's spot price and the older ones will go for more than that depending on their rarity.

It might just be me being blind, but I can't find their address mentioned anywhere on their website.  The number suggests they're somewhere in the Nottingham area.  Too far for me but I guess google will pull up their address if you want it.  Note that any online purchases have to be collected in person unless you arrange and pay for your own courier.

There is an 'auction' thread on here somewhere.

Hiya - they have branches all over the UK - head office is in Nottingham (old Shipstones Brewery Building) - the Gold / Jewellery auction is happening at their Marchington site which is Uttoxeter.

If the coins sold for the price on the page they would be bargains - they won't - i have watched auctions and they go for higher prices -always remember to add in the commissions and commission VAT - you might save a bit - you might not as well.

Unless you are there in person you realistic  are not going to get a good deal, online commission is always higher than in person and by the time you add any dispatch costs which I usually minimum of £10 per item you would be much better off purchasing here
