Bluegeo

That’s a cracker so well looked after in its 200 year history! Wouldn’t it be great if we knew all the previous owners?

Can I have one please? I'll sort out details in morning if that's ok. 

#55

Thanks @trp and @Dakaras

I can change it, right now I'm maybe 30 miles away from 155mph winds here in south west Florida, fort myers...one of the worst hurricanes (cat 5) to ever come into the United States, so I'll be thinking on more things then Thatcher or indeed gold price.

Stay safe! Seems like financial hurricanes could hit with the mess the West is in

Nice gesture ! I'll go for £177

Received it in the post today. Bought from @Binnygreat little coin, my first half sovereign! 

 

Wonderful looking coin for its vintage looks relatively spotless ( at least to my inexperienced/untrained 👁) 😀

Tempted by this- I wonder how many they will mint

Another sovereign bought on this great forum. This time a 1886 Sydney shield reverse, young head sovereign with some nice detail and rated scarce by Marsh.

My partner doesn’t know it yet but we won’t be getting a hot tub until July now. 😬

 

Lovely coin! As a bit green on these matters can you suggest a good website for Marsh as I’ve seen it mentioned a few times on here and I don’t fully understand how it works. Thanks

55 Arrival!!!

Thanks BYB for this lovely wee bar of silver!

Looks like I was lucky in the pour also 👍

55 please

We have stores here sell British food and chocolate in one of the biggies, I prefer my mcvittues digestive's 

Lucky fellow! My brother and family live in Indiana a bit off the beaten track. One of the main McVities factories in Glasgow is in danger of closing so hopefully doesn't affect you. If you get the opportunity I would highly recommend Tunnocks Tea Cakes or Caramel Wafers- a Scottish favourite!

Recently purchased a 2007 proof full sovereign off LawrenceChard  and read the description of the changes to the reverse, which makes it another unique sovereign. (2008 they made further changes).  

https://www.chards.co.uk/2007-gold-sovereign-elizabeth-ii-proof-london/303

Thought it would be interesting to offer the comparison they made between the 2000 and 2007 visually.

Wow! Amazing attention to detail from Chards in logging only the obvious differences. Pretty damning summary of the engraving too.

American chocolate is made from stuff not allowed in the UK, like shame, sorrow and disappointment 

Too true-I've American relatives and any time they're here they stock up on Cadburys
