Continuing the recent gold theme...
Today I received an 1896 Half Sovereign, purchased to mark my 25th birthday as an almost-birth year coin!
It looks like the previous owner polished it at some point, but I'm still pretty happy considering what I paid 😊

Arrived today. What a beautiful set.  
Thanks to all those who helped me along to make this purchase by way of buying from me last week 😃


 
I think I might have gone a bit too far with the 2017 purchases 😉
 

 

My first gold piece showed up today, though it's a bit... small...

Received the next day after ordering, these seem to be quite popular.
Now i’ll say prayers before bed that I don’t get any junk mail. 😬 😂
 

1824 sovereign MS63

nice 1821  sovereign was actually a metal detecting find has some damage but nice coin 

A nice bullion sovereign to add to the stack

 

Couple of deliveries this week
 

My last purchase from the Coin Cabinet auction from a few months back. It took a while to reach me in Australia.
Lovely addition to my QEII proof sovereign date run. I will post a video to the Coin Struck channel when it’s complete, only one left!

Grading

We are proud to announce the official launch of COR's NGC grading service & The Silver Forum branded label. 

The Silver Forum have partnered with Coins of the Realm Ltd (@CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions) and NGC to provide members with an NGC grading service. Coins of the Realm are an NGC authorized dealer.  

TSF receive no commission from any of the services offered by COR. Unless an applicable charge is taken for the TSF label (please see details and costs for labels further down below, some member groups can get the label for a discount / free) We have however secured discount vouchers for premium members buying at their auctions, and discounts for premium members selling at COR auctions. The full savings are passed directly onto members, as TSF supports itself through members choosing to upgrade to Premium Membership. Similarly, we have also secured some very attractive discounts for Premium Members wishing to grade coins with COR.

All coins are fully insured whilst in the possession of COR No additional charge for this.


Grading Pricing 

EDIT: It looks like NGC will be increasing their prices from 1st of January 2023, as such @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions pricing will also change. For correct prices please speak with COR directly at the time of submitting so they can advise pricing. NGC have not currently stated what their price increase will be yet. I will leave the old pricing table up below, but please direct message COR for current price. 

ATTENTION: From 1st April 2022, the prices below changed to include VAT. Please ADD VAT to the below. that the below pricing table is correct from 1st April 2022 onwards. e.g. A coin that is in the modern category would cost just £24 + 20% VAT = just £28.80 (minus any applicable discounts for your Premium Membership group) + shipping. There is no increase to the TSF label fee, and the TSF label fee price is inclusive of any applicable VAT, the same applies to the shipping charge.


Conservation Fees
Modern Tier: £12 + VAT
Gold Tier: £25 + VAT
Standard Tier: 4% fee (min fee £20) + VAT
Other add on services below, please also add 20% VAT.




Update: *Additional £15 charge may apply if coin being submitted requires its own submission form. Please contact Louise for further information @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions. 

How to work out the total:
Please see the above pricing charts and information, should you require any assistance please contact Louise at @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions

Note that gold coins can be put into the Modern category if applicable, which has a lower fee.

You will notice above that there are discounts for Premium Members grading coins. With Platinum PLUS members saving £1 per coin graded, this can add up to a substantial saving for those grading a lot of coins. Feel free to upgrade your membership if you would like to take advantage of the higher discounts available.

Update: *Additional £15 charge may apply if coin being submitted requires its own submission form. Please add VAT to the applicable total as explained in the above section. Please message Louise from @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions for further information. 

TSF branded label 

Premium Members may choose an optional TSF branded label when grading with COR. This label is exclusive to those grading via COR, and is unavailable anywhere else. The TSF branded label is available only for Premium Members.

Any applicable TSF label fee that is charged, is passed on to TSF from COR. All TSF label fees received will go towards the $1000 label charge, any fees received after this will go directly into TSF's marketing costs. TSF relies heavily on Premium Members who support TSF, as such there are larger discounts available on the TSF label fee for higher tier Premium Members as well as FREE TSF labels available for Platinum and Platinum PLUS tier members.

The TSF label is currently available on standard size and double thick NGC holders. We may look at making a TSF label available for oversize holders if there is sufficient demand.

TSF label fee

Silver Premium Member - £6 per TSF label
Gold Premium Member - 50% discount (£3 per TSF label)
Platinum Premium Member - £FREE
Platinum PLUS Premium Member - £FREE

We hope that you like the TSF label design and we are looking forward to seeing it on your graded coins. You may wish to upgrade your membership to take advantage of the discounts.  There is no disadvantage to upgrade your membership mid billing cycle as the time paid on the current invoice is calculated. For help with upgrading and to know the upgrade cost please private message @ChrisSilver


Additional info

When submitting your item(s) for grading please do confirm with @CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions via the TSF messaging system that you have sent them an item. Contacting COR via the TSF messaging system may help to speed up the validation of the applicable discounts as they will be able to easily validate your membership status. Please also include your TSF member name on the submission form if possible. 

TSF members must hold the applicable membership level at the time of submitting their items and the time that they are invoiced from Coins of the Realm to take advantage of the discounts. 

Coins of the Realm Ltd are based in the UK. Import taxes and other applicable charges may apply if sending items from outside of the UK to Coins of the Realm. We currently do not have a partner in the EU or USA offering a grading service for members, however we hope that in the future as the forum grows that we can find a way to provide our members in these regions with a similar grading service and TSF label. 

Note that the grading service is provided by COR. Any contract for services is between the member/customer and COR. Note that the grading itself is done by NGC, although NGC try to minimise grading errors with the coins being checked by multiple graders it may however on occasion be possible that a coin may come back at a higher or lower grade than it should have been assigned. Coins graded by NGC are covered by their guarantee should they overgrazed the coin, please see here for further details. The NGC guarantee also covers items with the TSF label, to make a claim you would need to go direct to NGC, please see all of the details on the previous link.
