    I thought the music legends series was over, I guess there's still a chance they might do one for the Beatles then.

    GoldStatue got a reaction from kimchi in NGC: "NGCX" a new 10-point Grading Scale for Coins.   
    That's right, I've seen it with graded star wars figures, they mark them as a percentage.
    They also do sub scores like NGC do with ancient coins where they score them on strike and surface.
    I would like the grading companies to offer more detailed reports for the grades they give out, like point out on the coin where the scratch is that downgraded it from a 70 to a 69.

    GoldStatue got a reaction from GoodAsGold in 2022 Sovereign design revealed?   
    I like both the designs for the 2022 jubilee and the memorial.
    I guess I was expecting to see the first proof sovereign with Charles effigy on it to be in the coronation year in keeping with all the other well known sets.

    You can see that spot prices go up and down and people outside the USA have to worry about exchange rates, but these are macro factors that you can't predict and can't control.
    So once you understand the relationship between the pricing of gold and currency fluctuations does it really matter? You're still going to buy gold and it doesn't give you any specific edge when making the purchase.

    Due to age and ill health I have now disposed of all of my collection and accessories through the Forum, and I should like to thank all the members for their help, advice (and purchases)
    In particular I thank everyone with whom I have dealt for their friendliness and courtesy in all my dealings.
    Kind regards to all - I am still in the market for a Kilo silver coin for my Great granddaughter if there are any bargains about!

    You boys are up late!
    I remember reading something once, I can't give credit but probably belangp.
    There comes a time when you stop thinking of gold in terms of pounds or dollars but only in ounces and grams. Of course, you have to still pay your bills in £ and $, but that's not what gold is for.
    Rather than thinking I've got £148,000 in gold, for example, you just think of the 100 ounces under your bed. If your target is 100oz, then the price of gold is irrelevant, only it make take a longer or shorter time to get there!

    It seems perfectly reasonable to go from 1-100 instead of 1-70, not sure whether it will catch on though.
    Some of the UK grading houses used to use the 100 scale, however they are so unpopular I'm not sure if they even still exist.

    That's not a bad idea, something like have that on the obverse and G&D on the reverse.
    I was thinking along the lines of seated in the coronation chair in Westminster abbey, like on the reverse of the 1989 sovereign.

    I think it’s safe to say that 2023 will be another busy year and the RM will be milking the coronation too.
    There may well be a series of kings beasts or even a memorial set for each of the late queens late corgis. I wouldn’t put it past them.

    GoldStatue got a reaction from Orpster in In the royal mint auction lot, there is a 4 coin 1989 proof sovereign set, starting at £3500. Chards have one listed at 9 and a half grand, so thought maybe it would be worth posting   
    If you have the right coin it might well be worth sending it to the Royal Mint auction.
    I remember looking at the results of the last auction and falling off my chair when I saw an ungraded Kew Gardens 2009 proof gold sold for about £10k, the exact same coin went through ebay for under £3k around the same time.

    Thanks again to @richatthecroft.  A 5oz silver coin celebrating the Platinum Jubilee, with dates a little more poignant than perhaps they anticipated.
