RESULT ! !

Earlier in the year I wrote about taking this US gold coin to auction for a client.

Against a mid estimate of £55,000, it eventually sold for £140,000; so I have a very, very happy customer.

There were two telephone bidders from America fighting over it, going up in £2000 increments. It was pretty exciting to watch. They hesitated around £80K, then at £100K, but kept pushing it along for a while longer!

Amazing to think that the buyer paid a 20% commission on top (£28,000), to which then VAT was added.
