Spink: 3785C / Marsh: 4 / Rating: Rare

Listed: 1 December 2015
Ending: 4 December 2015

Comments: The seller has graded their coin ‘NVF’, which seems fair. A few subtle variations exist for this year. If you study the date on the obverse (heads) side, you’ll notice the hook of the ‘2’ is closed. The initial price has been set at £199, so it’s well worth bidding on.

 1838 Victoria Sovereign

1838 Sovereign
1838 Sovereign

Update: No surprises, this was a fraudulent listing.

Spink: 3852 / Marsh: 22 / Rating: Rare

Listed: 23 September 2015
Ending: 27 September 2015 22:55

Comments:  Being the first Sovereign of Queen Victoria’s reign, 1838 coins are always popular with collectors, however they are also a target for scammers & we’re not 100% sure about this listing. The photos of this coin were taken in November 2014, so are almost 12 months old. The seller has no history of selling high value items, yet 4 high ticket items have been listed, all ending on the same day. If you are considering bidding on this, we would recommend you exercise extreme caution. Contact the seller & request up-to-date photographs that include some sort of proof of ownership, such as their eBay ID or the date written on a piece of paper next to the coin.
