Hi, Was holding onto these thinking I would pick them up from my family member the next time im back in the UK, however that is now very unlikely to happen with the current rules. Therefore looking to sell, UK only. £150 per coin or £290 if someone wants both including SD. Payment by bank transfer (to my UK account) or Paypal F&F. Ive had to ask my elderly family member to take the pictures therefore they aren't perfect but gives a good idea of both coins. Capsules never been opened. Thanks Pictures:

Sometimes it depends on the carrier. I know with fedex you will most likely get the bill a week to some months later. Hopefully you got lucky and they somehow slipped through

I like the idea of this series and that german site has a good range of coins. Handy for me

Look on the una bar thread from a couple of weeks ago, there was a polish site selling them that I recall someone posting.

If you don't mind to pay the hefty customs duty/tax, it's available via Royal Mint or LPM (HK) they'll both ship to Italy.

Thanks i had no idea its still legal tender, i agree its a nice looking coin though. Would be even nicer if it was gold!

Hi, I'm relatively new to stacking/collecting and recently came across a box of old bits my grandfather had passed on to me. Amongst them was this coin - back in the day it was more 'golden' than it is now and I assume was a fake 'gold' version. It had always been kept in a case but somehow in my loft its ended up loose in a box and clearly has tarnished to reveal it's truer colour. I don't have the proper scales to weigh it. Kitchen scales say 27g so i'm assuming its a silver crown? 38mm across Anyone able to verify Cheers

I've done this too 🤞

Im tempted to order a gold 1 oz bar on Lpm even if resulting vat etc will bump the price significantly. Its clear the coins have gone up in value, does anyone think the bars will do the same?

Cheers. i'll get the coloured set then. It might be the way to kick start my kid into a future love of stacking!

Funny, I literally just looked at these and considered ordering and came on here to do a search. I don't stack silver but my child is into dinosaurs and thought it'd be nice to buy. Can anyone tell me the difference between colour and standard silver? Does colour deteriorate quicker if not stored correctly?

I'm no expert and relatively new to this but as I undestand it - Yep sovereign is not pure gold bullion like a britannia. Sovereign is mixed with a small amount of other metal. So if you want to base it on pure gold content go for the britannia. I've been reading up and it seems sovereigns, especially older ones (like the young victoria head for example) are more sought after and more liquid as a result. There's also the collector aspect in that your son might get more fired up about tracking down a certain year of sovereign or face. Whereas the britannia's are same same. I just bought a 1 oz queen's beast (white horse as it was cheapest i could find) and a 1 oz britannia and certainly find the queen's beast more of an interesting coin. Same goes for sovereigns or even quarter pandas, they're a bit more interesting in my opinion. But end of the day - if it's all about bullion and stacking gold - go for the cheapest gold you can find.

Try this link one of the forum members created http://goldprice.eu5.net/# its all the best sites to purchase and most competitive I've personally used this forum to buy as some great deals. Also used coininvest.com for larger gold purchases, they've been great for me but i'm in spain. V low secure & insured postage costs too. You can kiss goodbye to Pm's once you're in the horse world. Good luck with that

We've just done the same for our child. Invested it all in gold coins (they're CGT free). Of course there's no way to know if it'll lose value in future or increase but i'd rather take the chance than leave in a bank account in the event of a financial reset, which seems increasingly likely. This way there's something physical they will know is theirs for 20-30 years ahead and also stops us using it for anything else tempting... such a holidays.

Welcome, its a good place for likeminded collectors/stackers!
