What make you think you would pay tax on it?1

Because i have sold over £5000 of stuff on ebay so far this financial year.
The coin was given to me in my change at asda and appears to be worth up to £2000 -
For context it appears OP is a business seller on eBay, so I can definitely understand wanting to sell an unwanted personal possession separately. I guess this is why people sometimes have a private and a business account, but if you don't already have a private account with history then buyers are going to be wary buying a high value item like this from a new account!
Facebook groups for coins? Old-fashioned forum?1 -

Look up 'Christopher Collects' on YouTube. He has a Discord server you could join for advice or maybe even find a buyer.0

Not wishing to cast doubt on the value but there are often ridiculous values placed on Enay auctions for coins so check sold only values.2
