Welcome back. 👍🏼 What was your prior username?

It's going to go up, down and sideways so spread your purchases out through the next few decades 👍🏼

Or something a little older and golder?

If you're looking to sell could try an auction? If you're not in a rush could try at £410 and always reduce it in future if no bites Depends on condition

It's probably inevitable in the long run but hard to beat the stacker out of me 🤣

Probably the random person opened it up and took them out of the caps for a closer look by now

"i" see what you did there

Not really a bad thing still a gold sov for the stack 👍🏼

Here's a 2019 with and without mintmark (2019 photo is poorer quality just what I had on my phone to hand The date will obviously be 2013 on yours but the mint mark would be in the same place if there is one

Only if they have the mintmark.

Yes on 1918 was Bombay mint though now Mumbai. The more recent ones were from 2013 to 2020. https://sites.google.com/view/thepettyhoard/the-indian-sovereigns Haven't come across 2021 or 2022 maybe someone else knows about those?

Also I find some years the mintage figures don't translate to the frequency they seem to come up. I'm only stacking but I imagine dealers could shed more info on this

It's an interesting year in that it was the only George V year to have the 'I' mintmark and if one wishes to have a sov of that era with 'I' mintmark it has to be a 1918. Interesting in that regard... There are now the modern 'I' marked sovs from (I think) 2013

Or an opportunity for someone to make a production run of trays that fit the RM box and could swap them to hold their full set of 11

Ahh yes you're right

Whether or not they give it that much thought but something I considered was that there could be an insert in the box like 2 trays, maybe 2 layers of 5 coins but for the release of the completer it comes with a tray that you swap in.... They could even release it early but with only 1 out of 2 trays so people wouldn't know until mid way.

Some nice coins in there mate 👌🏽

When I was in the UK recently I asked at the post office if the lady serving had seen any new coins yet and she got 2 50ps for my change from 'in the back'

First thing might be to just look through what you've got very carefully and catalogue it, so a photo of each side. (I find it easier to take clear pics and then can look through the photos over time without having to rush or go to the deposit box all the time) In the context of this thread you can look for any errors or anomalies. For more general learning... Make a list what you've got including date and mintmark. I learned a lot by looking at things in batches. Eg all my George Vs together or all my Ed viis Take a look at the mintages of what you've got and after a while you'll get a feel for what is a lot or not much. Also looking at bulk listings here and seeing what dates come up a lot or don't seem to come up often

Yeh I have been tempted by 'cheaper' pre Victoria sovs but so far haven't pulled the trigger. I think it would be far easier to move a high quality example than a poor one plus the joy of owning a nice one would be better than looking at it thinking oh man look how worn it is every time 🤣🤔 Maybe that's just me but like if it's a car it's got to be one of the fastest things going or a cheap run about. I don't want to mess about with anything in between. @SVcollector had a few on his website.

Nice set. Bit of a can of worms going for the other monarchs in similar conditions

Could easily weigh both of mine 😏

This one? That was at release
