  • I fail to see what the company has done wrong? if it has honoured it's purchase price of £50 then surely everyone's happy?

    Unless of course people are jealous for some strange reason?

    In reality they are buying thousands of these coins for £50 and selling them on for a much higher amount...

    To whom?

    To collectors etc.

    Imagine the power they will have over the prices of the coins as they will have the majority of the coins, they can control supply and demand.

    Nice work if you can get it

    I thought it was great reading the Ebay listings

    "No date on the heads side, turn it through 360 degrees and no date on that side"

    Natural selection at work, I can't believe the buyers got upset about it and thought they had been scammed.

    Thats probably because they chose to sell them for a higher price on ebay. If you can get a higher price for them than "The London Mint" is offering, it makes logical sense to sell to the highest bidder.
