<p>[QUOTE=&quot;richcastle, post: 300428, member: 11112&quot;]Being new to collecting I&#039;m keen to find out the best places to buy coins from. I&#039;ve looked at online dealers and have been recommended a couple of excellent ones (coincraft, chard) by another helpful user on here. However, I&#039;ve also been looking at possibly going to coin auctions. I&#039;m not after coins worth thousands, rather I&#039;m into uk sovereigns/half sovereigns.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any tips on what i should be wary of when at a coin auction? and do the coins that are on sale come with some sort of guarantee of their grading and in the case of sovereigns, their authenticity and gold content? Are auctions a good idea for novice collectors?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>i&#039;ve also looked up on some coin valuation guides so i dont overpay for a coin i want. One i&#039;m ordering is the spink 2008 guide. I already have the 2008 coin yearbook as published by token publishing which has some pricing info within it&#039;s pages.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Any help most welcome.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cheers</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rich.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
