zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 07/26/2013 12:10 am So I`ve narrowed down my choices but I`m one indecisive person and need a few more opinions. Here are the 3 I have narrowed it down to: MS66 Sweden 1889 20 Kronor - $469 http://www.ebay.com/itm/35083906924....m1423.l2649 AU50 Portugal 1868 5000 Reis - $550 http://www.ebay.com/itm/19086739688....m1423.l2649 MS65 Great Britain 1925 Sovereign - $518 http://www.ebay.com/itm/30093574666....m1423.l2649 Can anyone help me with valuations and if any of them are worth buying and what their FMV is. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

epikur Pillar of the Community Sweden 729 Posts	Posted 07/28/2013 08:57 am I can chip in on the Swedish coin... there are currently 4 1889s up on the swedish ebay. They are all ungraded and they are all up at $490 with 5 hrs left. They look like being around MS66 as well. So $469 is probably a correct FMV Report this Post to the Staff

Demarco Bishopp Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 548 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 03:22 am I may be wrong but $518 seems like too much for that sovereign. I know it's certified but the coin itself is only worth about $350 - unless 1925 is a rare date or something. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 10:37 am I kind of like all of them. Although I just don't like ebay. Lots of money if something goes wrong. All are certified and slabbed but with China actually making coins in slabs, I'd worry. The Sweden one looks the best to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Not quite - it was but the dies were reused from 1949 to 1951 I think so they're not so rare now. But there might be a way to tell the restrikes from the originals. Report this Post to the Staff
