eBay Cheats & Copyright Thieves
We believe eBay profits from IP rights infringements (copyright theft), and does so knowingly, only removing infringing items reluctantly, if at all.
Some, like Giselle Quadros alias coins.sovereigns.exchange, also steal our carefully crafted descriptions and specification tables from our websites.
Copyright theft is dishonest. We recommend you avoid doing business with dishonest dealers.
In the past few years we have read numerous accounts online where buyers have been cheated by Giselle Quadros alias coins.sovereigns.exchange.
Both the number of these, and the reliable sources, satisfy us that Giselle Quadros alias coins.sovereigns.exchange is dishonest and should not be trusted. Potential buyers should avoid her. This may be difficult because she has been known to use multiple eBay IDs in the past, and presumably will not hesitate to do so again in the future.
She remains, to our mind, one of the glaring examples of the many things which are wrong with eBay and its feedback system. That such an obvious crook can manage to attain a near perfect feedback beggars belief.
If the images and text are stolen, how about the coins? Would you want to buy a valuable gold coin set from a known crook?

We should probably delay reporting this item until a buyer has sent some money. This may sound cynical of us, but if enough greedy buyers got conned, they might kick up enough fuss, go to the media, and get eBay the publicity it deserves. It is not our job to act as unpaid policemen for eBay.

2008 Pound Gold Proof 25th Anniversary Set
In 2008 the British Royal Mint issued a proof gold set containing 14 different £1 pound coins, one of of the designs used since 1983. We buy and sell all coins including gold proof pounds.
We are advised that the entire collection is already sold out at the Royal Mint.
The Definitive £1 Coin
Representing the United Kingdom, the first modern £1 coin appropriately depicted Britain's pre-eminent heraldic symbol, the Royal Arms, Eric Sewell, former Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint, was 'greatly honoured, highly delighted and totally surprised'to (sic) have won the competition for the reverse design in 1983.
The Royal Shield
In 1988 a further £1 coin representing the United Kingdom was struck, Derek Gorringe's design featured a fine depiction of the Royal Arms within a shield divided into four parts.
The Floral Series
The first series, designed by the distinguished silversmith Leslie Durbin, depicted stylised floral emblems relating to the four home nations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The Heraldic Series
The reverse designs for the second series of four £1 coins were modelled by the acclaimed sculptor and experienced numismatic artist Norman Sillman. The theme was mainly heraldic.
The Bridge Series
The Bridge series of reverse designs was conceived by wood engraver Edwina Ellis. She was invited to take part in a limited competition and, abandoning the more traditional heraldic approach, she chose designs representing Britain's Industrial Heritage.
The Obverse Design
The obverse of each coin bears the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of the Queen, the 2008 year date on all coins and the edge inscription 'Elizabeth.II.D.G REG.F.D'
Superb Presentations
The set is housed in a high quality walnut-finish display case with a black velour display tray and smooth lid embossed with the Royal Mint logo. The case lid stores the accompanying informative booklet which incorporates a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
