Ha! Ha! Another cheap one found today 🤔😮😮

I do actually have a 2012 and one or two others, nice little coins. Just stick to Royal Mint ones! Although the current prices for bullion ones on the mint site are a bit steep😮🤔🤔

I'm the same, great thread.
Since I started reading this, I have been trawling the web for Quarter Sovs.
 
    

I found the file for the 2012 BU Set, sorry for the quality, it's a scan of a scan, the figures for the Half Sovereign are interesting

anyone got a cheap one for sale?😮🤔

Nice certificate, thanks for posting.
Maximum coin mintage does not always equate to actual coin mintage though, it's just sets the upper limit.

🤔actually doesn’t mean that this is the actual number sold or anywhere near.interesting though that they are all done as BU, so answers previous thoughts/questions. Cheers👍

I can't. I just have glasses. 

The later "BU" ones were different from bullion and more resembled proofs than bullion. This term was used for SOTD sovereigns. Not sure about 2012. Marsh mentions the strike on the day BU ones separately but doesn't mention 2012 in these. 
What I find most puzzling is NGCs MS DPL designation for 2012 quarter. This is the correct designation for the SOTD sovereigns (but are often incorrectly labelled PF UC. So what are these DPL 2012 quarters? And do they look more like bullion or proofs?
Anyone with a graded MS 2012 quarter here? 

Here's a list of the mintage figures for 2012 gold commemorative coins (Proof and Brilliant uncirculated, excluding bullion) taken from the Royal Mint website

The Royal Mint issue sovereigns in 3 standards, Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated (or B.U) and bullion, don't confuse B.U. with bullion. The list above excludes bullion. I suspect the total numbers shown in  "The Gold Sovereign" have been used in error and bullion has not been included, which is likely to run to a mintage of 10's of thousands. Does anyone out there know the actual mintage of this coin in Bullion condition?
Brilliant Uncirculated sovereigns come in presentation boxes with Certificates of Authenticity. If your coin does not come on the presentation box then it's probably bullion. It would be interested to see how many people own a Brilliant Uncirculated quarter sovereign with a box and CoA.
