I would probably keep them in their OMP to be honest. 

It’s very useful to show people examples like this so they can learn for the future. Some of the offerings on eBay are very dubious.

Hello all,
Felt like I had to post this as no one else would be interested!
I’m still very new to this hobby, but I picked up this pair of £1 Jersey proofs today for 5% over spot so I figured that I couldn’t go too wrong if they were worth nothing more than spot!
I like to send a lot of my coins off to NGC for grading, but they’re generally more popular UK releases (Britannias, sovereigns etc.) I know that a lot of people aren’t that interested in the grading side of things, but for those who are, what do you think? Is it worth sending these lesser known/sought after releases off?

Welcome to the forum Adam,
You’ll learn a lot being here. I have a big interest in older coins, most notably Sovereigns. I like the history and the ‘story’ they bring.
However I like modern proofs too, my advice to anyone is, “Buy what you like and like what you buy”. But if you ever want to sell anything you’ve bought, this forum is a great place to both buy and sell.

First time posting on any kind of forum, hi everyone!
This seems like a great community and I'm looking forward to getting more involved
I actually got into coin collecting as I bought a platinum 1/2 oz maple leaf proof coin off of eBay without even knowing what a proof was! Just liked the look of it!
What coins have got others hooked on this addictive hobby?

Thanks for the warm welcome all!
It’s great to see such a wide variety of collectors and read your stories. My collection is based on modern proofs, but I can definitely appreciate some of the older coins - I’ve always thought the shield back sovereigns are absolutely stunning!
