Lot 190
A George III spade guinea 1788,
Sold: £1,600
With fantastic results every month in every saleroom, offering anything from Georgian boxes, to Victorian watch chains, coins, watches or medallions gold remains a crucial part to our sales.
For those discerning enough to avoid the tempting high street or postal offers of 'Cash-for-Gold' the correct way to sell is an entry to one of our Collective Sales.
Virtually every lot is guaranteed to make its open market value on the day of the sale. Competition is such that the professional buyers will even bid an extra £2 on a sovereign in an attempt to ensure they buy it.
There is always that chance that it has a use or a wearability factor over and above 'scrap' pricing.
If you do not offer it to the auction market you will never know what you have lost at someone else's profit.
