That £225 would be retail for a half sovereign.

@SovereignSaurus Жыл бұрын

£225 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That is actually ludacris. About 60% of spot. I thought CC price was low at £340. Good advice from the guy saying take £390.

Interesting. As a coin collector it makes my ears bleed when I hear anybody say they're going to melt down a sovereign.

A useful video as most people concentrate on acquisition rather than disposal. The video will hopefully prove people to consider disposal more.

Sorry I don't agree with that last shop, as what they want is to get you in the shop and then make you an offer maybe low as most will take it because your there.. I would tell them that I have been calling and getting offers with no problems, so stay away from that shop!

I'm surprised cash converters offered a close top offer.

Just go to a reputable bullion dealer. Any sovereign should be IRO £350 to £370.

A local Pawnbroker very near retirement who we ( my friend and I ) was candid about the prices.. “I buy 10% under spot; I sell 10% over spot”… So you may be put off by the “spread” but this is normal to an average retailer.. In the times of trouble ( inflation) The demand for Sovereigns and the like will be so much that the margin will shrink ( just like a stock) High volumes, low margins!. So take the 10% over on the chin- You will not regret it ever

Why want to weigh the soverign...I thought all soverigns were the same weight??

@bushcrafty7274 Жыл бұрын

Yep 😂 7.98g (7.32g pure gold) my 1860 still weighs 7.98g

@StackThatGold Жыл бұрын

It will change depending on the price. I know here in the U.S. generally if you go to a reputable place they will pay spot or above spot for things like an AGE.

@bushcrafty7274 Жыл бұрын

Today i had a look around the Birmingham ones. They seem to be offering around £365. I paid £390 last year for my full 1860. They sell at reasonable prices too.

@harryzero1566 Жыл бұрын

@@StruanRobertson29mainly the gold that gets melted is the stuff they cannot sell as it is. I know that seems obvious, but that's my point, if you sell a proof or nice bullion coin at spot value to a retailer they will sell it according to its desirability. They tend not to even offer back some of the extra value that you paid for it. The satisfaction the seller might get, is when they walk away, leaving the retailer wistfully disappointed.

I never have any idea of what I'm doing I'm just winging it. It's better to try and fail than never try at all, especially with youtube where you need no upfront investment to start a KZfaq channel, so risk is literally zero
