thanks all for the complements and thoughts. I have been following and collecting isle of man angels for years now, nearly all 1 oz., I have them all except for the INCUSE 1 oz. gold angel.
Contrary to what might be assumed, I have a very modest lifestyle and income, it is just that I have become addicted to accumulating coins, especially the angels. how can I afford to do this? simple. I don't pay my bills until forced to and buy coins instead!
the guy originally wanted 20k for it, then he had a "sale" on it, bringing it down to 18k. you would not believe what losses I incurred in order to get this one, I sometimes follow a single coin for months on end.
ebay has not been my only source, I have gone through
APMEX and a number of other non-eBay coin sellers. In 8 years, I have seen about 6 of the 5 oz angels, 2 of the 10 oz angels, 2 of the 15 oz angels (one I bought, the other one in ms 68 is on ha auctions to be auctioned off in a few weeks. the latest bid on that one is $14,000, auction is on 9.9.2016. here is the listing for that one, in my opinion mine looks better and that I why I was grousing about getting the 67 grade.
https://coins.ha.com/c/search-resul...K-Y-Z-071316I have never seen any of the 20 or 25 oz angels for sale. I agree that the coin has a very limited market. Once I was interested in a 10 oz. angel but the guy wanted too much in my opinion, he would go no lower than 18k at a time when gold was lower than it is today.
again, thanks for your comments and thoughts... mike
