A man i know has asked me to buy a 5 pound gold commemorative of the queen mother 2000 Now i know there was a low mint of 3000 the book price is 625 pound's but he opened the case and you can see fingerprint's on both side's so the ? Is it proof once it is open and what is the value of the coin I told him i would give him 600euro's what do you think Dave
First, once a proof it is always a proof. Now it is just a mishandled proof. Second, not being familiar with the coin, what is the gold content? (weight: one ounce? or?)
5 troy pounds IIRC. A 5 pound (denomination) coin would be about a $15 gold piece, so that doesn't compute to me, but I have been a bit "thick" in the past, Frank.
I'm not sure of the present exchange rate for Euro's to other currency so it may well depend on that. Also, what are you plans for that coin? If for resale, you may find collectors may not want it due to the fingerprints. That too depends on how bad those prints are on the coin. If embedded prints or just recent toches. And too, remember that the price of Gold, Silver, Platinum, etc goes up and down continuously. For all anyone knows Gold may be back to half what it is now. If you have that amount of money to speculate with, enough money to not worry about some loss, a good place to resell, you may want to take the chance and buy it.
forgetfull :high5: I forgot about the fingerprint for bit no i will stick to my first bid. long term i can aford to hold on to it thank's Dave
If you can get it for 600 Euros I would jump on that. That is quite a bit under spot....600EUR= 836.22USD
haha :goofer: I think's she nice dont judge a book by it's cover Under all that makeup there is 1.4oz of lovley 22 ct gold Dave
