    Hi everybody
    Was reading this thread as I just bought a unicorn on US eBay for $83 odd dollars. Just noticed in the photo that it has a P in a circle, I take that as it's a proof. Bargin. No mention inthe description as to proof. Any body haz a guess at it's worth?

    Bargain chillidog, it's worth $84, I'll give you $150. :D

    Real value probably up to $400.

    That's a first win for me usually it's the other way round pay For proof get bullion. Now can't wait till it comes.

    Now that you mention this, it could also be the seller using a stock photo instead of the real thing. Did the listing mention that the buyer will get the exact coin as shown in picture?

    I'm no expert but the picture doesn't look like a stock photo to me.

    Retired optometrist and he call it a BU because it doesn't have a P on it? Should have made himself some glasses before he retired.

    If it's not a proof you payed a fair price anyway when shipping is included.

    Bargain if proof, still bargain if BU Bullion.

    Proof: $350 (if you're lucky) - $450
    Bullion: $90 - $115
