Have quite often purchased orderable sovereigns from Chards and it’s just a waiting game with the knowledge that you got them at the price listed at the time. Just make sure you don’t order anything else in stock in the same order that you want right away at this will come when the orderable items are in. Will be using the service again as soon as I’ve emptied the bank account on 2023 sovs 😀

Just look at the sales on this forum to see what is liquid! Bullion sovereigns all the way. Always has been and always will be.

What happened on Friday morning? Never seen that except for weekends!

I believe the U means it's an imported piece.

Probably not Swiss, as Swiss watches were normally 935 and would have their hallmarks in addition to British ones.

Beyond that, without pictures of the face or the movement within, it'd be hard to pin it down to a type or country.

Is it an open face watch, a hunter, half-hunter etc.?

Swiss watches changed to 925 in 1914 to match our standards.

Anyway, that’s a British import hallmark. There is the standard mark, the town mark for London and the date letter b for 1917/18

@James32 vacuum cleaner blew a fuze and he told them to pause spot while he got it repaired. That’s the power of high rollers 🤑

It was then I knew I had been rumbled. Sovereigns all look the same and I’d hoped she thought it was the same one coming back from repeated restoration. An icy chill swept slowly over the room. The wife had found the stack.

It might just be me but I much prefer matte type finishes of something that does not look gaudy. Yes pure gold is yellow but one can take it too far in shininess. Not sure if that is a proper word.

A little copper goes a long way.

100% agree @Bogart, might get the grit blaster out and dull mine down a bit 😂

Am I missing something? I only stack sovereigns for the gold but would like to start collecting. What in hells bells is there to like about this? ( closeup from MrStacker above)???!!!

The elastic band has obviously slipped off the cog that links the hamster wheel to the internet.

@LawrenceChard. @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer

Had a couple of Charlie 50p’s in the change over the past few weeks.

Looks good to me. Have you done a specific gravity test?

Hi all I was wondering what is everyone's opinion or what do you collect  ?

I am not sure if I should start collecting full sovereigns or 1oz britannias.

I am looking to hold on to them for a long time and then see how the market is then.

Thank you 

Sovereigns here. Always thought they would be much easier to liquidate when required. Just look at how many have been sold here already this year, must be in the 1000’s!

What a shame. Just received my first couple and maybe it’s just my eyes but it looks like an old coin I’ve just picked up off of the road that’s been run over a few dozen times. Can’t really see the design as it’s so small and cluttered.

I bought this when I was 16 and in the 28 years I’ve had it must of had 10’s of thousands of 2p through it. I’ve always kept an eye out for different or non uk ones and amazingly I’ve only ever come across 6! Do you think the lack of foreign muck is because people just don’t cross borders with coppers in their pockets or because there are just so many 2p’s in circulation that they are just so diluted. Compare these to euros passed in place as pound coins which must have already happened twice this year to me.

have looked with a loupe. So far, comparing to several Cinco Pesos online, many details seem to match

It’s the details that don’t match that you want to pay attention to and study.

“But that doesn’t happen anymore, unfortunately” 😂😂😂

How much do you think a bullion sovereign will be by July 2023? 

On the forum I recon we’ll be seeing £430 commonly by July 😳

As a show of hands who’s bought the 2022 memorial bullion sovereigns, from where and at what price………for study and scientific reasons only.

 

 

4 coins from Chards (2 sovereigns and two others) Sovereigns at £398.07 plus postage ……… so,…….. £399.57 each delivered

So what is the reason for buying today, as soon as it's released, when the gold prices are high?

Because in 4 weeks time gold was cheap today…….. To da moooooooon…….. 😂😂😂

Has anyone heard anything about these? Last I heard they were going on pre-sale tomorrow at the mint. I was expecting the usual mass emails but believe I only got one and that was weeks ago!

Hope they don’t stop 2p’s, collected quite a few over the years 😂

It depends at what point you regard the production process to cease?
It could be argued this would be the point at which the coin is ejected from the die. Any treatment afterwards would be post-production and open to treatment on an individual basis i.e. some could be treated with kid gloves, some thrown into a skip tossed around etc

Then it should say post-minting?
