Will depend on your stacking goals and your exit strategy If all you plan is to accumulate as much weight as you can and sell to a dealer as part of your retirement plan, stack the lowest premium coins you can get. Over time you may find you have a preference for a certain portrait or gravitate towards special reverse. Lots of people will try and put together date runs of coins which can make stacking more enjoyable but you risk ending up paying a premium for lower mintage years. If you plan to sell privately I would say stack what you think is going to be popular in the future. I do this and 75-80% off my stack is pre-1887 sovereigns. This of course is an assumption on my part that age will add value over time. An argument could be made those moderns people turn their noses up now could well become the popular coins with future stackers, the mintage numbers are certainly lower. I also park money in Gold apart from my longer term stack and for that I tend to buy moderns, special reverse mostly (2002/2005/2012/2022/2022/2023) and these I sell when I need money. I find these sell very quickly when priced right. I also try and keep 10% of my stack in premium coins, proof and graded. This is a hedge against market trends. If I need to sell and bullion is going for low premiums or is hard to sell at the time it is often the case the graded or proof market will still be buoyant. Last bit of advise, keep detailed records. Date, seller, price paid, what price spot was at the time, as much as you can. Take a picture of everything you buy and keep it. Also keep a record of your stack with approximate values. I have a spreadsheet for this that you can add coins to and an estimate of the premium it would currently command. You just add the current spot price, details of the coin and the premium and it will tell you everything you need to know, I will attach a blank copy here for you to have a play with. It is only set up for full and half sovereigns at the moment but it can quite easily be tailored for other coins. If you do use it when you add a row, do it in the middle of a section otherwise if upsets the calculations Welcome to the Goldbug club Inventory Blank.xlsx

Raw I have both half’s if of any interest, only have graded fulls

They pretty much did with the migration improvement but people whinged so it got changed back Had filters and views the lot. I think the main complaint was the splitting out of private and business sellers but I liked the flexibility the filters gave

I think you may need to get that appraised by someone more knowledgeable than me Zac, I selected that one as it does appear it may be more matte - really tricky though with your Vaseline coated lens. I would suggest you stick it in a capsule for now and get some much better pictures. @Belmont would be a good starting point once you have them. I think the chances are slim though so do not get too excited

Your pictures suck Zac Bottom right

The graded section on here does not seem to get a lot of traffic I have to say, when you compare listing views to those in the ungraded section

Surprised these are still hanging about 🤷‍♂️

I suspect you are now a gold-bug, this place is littered with us Best piece of advise when you start stacking gold - remember you are not spending money, you are buying money with fiat, which is just currency

Nice price

The premium on them right now works out about the same as on a 1g holo bar, I know which I would rather own (this) The appeal may drop but if you want to own one then you will not mind the cost of ownership, we all waste money on all sorts of rubbish in our life at least this will always have an intrinsic value even if the premium goes. Worst case scenario you are out by £80ish, and I cant see them losing that much premium ever. Given the subject matter I can even see them getting more sought after in a few years.

Can I get the Princess Bari please @Panda6Pack

They do indeed - I think there have been a couple of mules with proof on one side and BU on the other There was die strikethrough error @LawrenceChard found on a KCIII sovereign Seen a few die clash error coins as well

This may help, from the Baldwin catalogue for the Bentley collection

Do you have a picture, there were some specimen strike versions of the 1958 that are super rare and very very valuable

Glad they arrived safe and sound, two of my parcels sent yesterday appear to be on a magical mystery tour at the moment Christmas posting is always stressful

Same. I will commit

This ones a bit cheaper as its £5 delivery on the other https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204565427639?hash=item2fa10cb5b7:g:lTMAAOSwE~dksRJN&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwMr2ZIbkc82jBhxm74zkn%2BdAzTB1fksA18%2BmCzUHXcBVQw4yFXsEeRB%2Bz%2FGq5qwS843TOUwwc3q1hG1QkZOl1b2TmJ%2FNaulSvLZez%2BI4S8i0hDddpr23S4RXIcaRdBx%2BE4lpViOKMH6jCSctA8lV7oIFjWjMNG4vI7xMT78ZDlUzjI7jcroDpm7a7oYxCcp2YS9Ju0g9ru90DSXlINfY1ZORuf2e%2B2LqwjXR6E6UREXQkQsRJSU9%2Fll9izw3gGV%2F9w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_SUhoWKYw

All sold, thanks TSF

Silver Marks from @Silverr and the YH from @CallumHSLimited

Yea I'm looking now, these are all 1881 for example - closer but still not perfectly aligned I don't think

Ha ha, I am not concerned My point is more in these times and particularly in the branch mints, the setting of the dies was all over the place, they are not even consistent for the same year/mint

Caused me to dig out a pick of my Sydney's - no real consistency

Two please @RiverbankSilver
