Just received three full sovereigns from Chards. I love the design but the quality is a bit interesting...

All three coins have scratches/dent/black marks. Might difficult to see from the photos but they're very obvious.  Not sure what's going on with the RM.

Just purchased 3 from Chards (£560 each) and 2 from RM (£585). What a fun day

We can sign up now for further announcements on the 2022 Sovereign.

Could anyone guess the launching price for the 2022 special proof sovereign?

Just purchased some gold coins from Coininvest. I waited for 30 days to receive my order.

There's a Shipping & Handling fee of £13.95. If your order is more than £900, there's an additional £30 for customs declaration fee. 

Then the UPS will charge you £10 processing fee in addition to the VAT.

Got an interesting 1872 shield back sovereign. Apart from the pimple on Queen Victoria's face, the letter D E I and A looks odd....

Looks like she might have a bit of ear wax?

Also the bun looks very crisp compared to the rest of her hair....Sorry seems like I'm picking holes just a couple of observations.

You say it's in a slab so you purchased it graded? What grade did it get?

Regards

Thank you for your reply.

The grade is AU58. 

Yes I realized the two marks on the bun.... Do you think they are just dent marks or mint error? 

Just received a 1872 young head shield sovereign, a very interesting one!

There's something on the Queen Victoria's face and it looks like an acne.... might be a mint error. 

Also an error message 'invalid cert number' showed when I tried to verify the coin by reading the NFC tag in the PCGS slab. I have inspected the coin under a microscope and pretty sure it's genuine. Already contacted PCGS and waiting for their reply.

I think selling counterfeit legal tenders is a criminal offence... NCA should tackle these sellers just like FBI
