Looking to swop a 2015 proof 1/2oz Britannia for two special reverse proof 1/4oz Britannia from the years 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021

The 2015 is a difficult year to get for anyone looking to do a date run, was available only in the 6, 5 and premium 3 coin sets and has a total mintage of only 333

Coin is from a set so comes with capsule only

Coin will be in hand tomorrow so I can get some better pictures then, please comment or pm if anyone is interested in a swop.

Hi what does dpl mean

As James said, deep proof like, usually an early strike from a new die on a bullion finish coin. You also get PL which is just proof like.
Because the die is new and polished the fields tend to be more mirrored than later strikes and the detail more sharp, really reflective, or mirrored surfaces can get DPL, those less so PL.
Quite desirable on bullion coins, especially older ones

@Orpster @Belmont @CallumHSLimited might have some available?

I have some carded and OMP examples yes but they are in storage and I would not be wanting to sell under any of the prices offered already, so likely only any point me pricing up if you specifically wanted a carded one

Well Ive bought on ATH day !

Any old "Bog standard" sovereign £415-£430

Spied Sovereign Rarities have Platinum Jubilee / final year QEII MS70 DPL sovereigns at seemingly reasonable £475 each

Ive seen these higher and several sell on FeeBay in the past year, so this is this months purchase Ive taken the plunge with x4 for £1,900 🤢😮🤮 - hopefully good picks for the long term retirement stack - perfect grade, last year of reign, platinum jubilee, variant design, DPL designation

wish me luck

One sold on BookFace last week for £525, so a very good price I reckon

Quite a rare sight these, I think the uncouped bust version of the Maklouf was only for two years, maybe three, and only on the £5. Far far rarer than the Butler portrait in 2016 and a snip at this price

GLWS, this is a real collectors piece, my pockets are full of lint though unfortunately

**EDIT - my apologies I see you mentioned it was two years only, I got too excited by the coin

Yes. If I thought £1725 was the ceiling, I'd get out now. It will have its peaks and valleys, but ultimately the only way is up.

China and India are running the gold price now.

worries me about these big swings in gold though. What happened to steady and stable .. either gold and become a speculative asset. … or.. more likely.. our currencies are f’d.

Or both, I think as soon as you create an ETF for a commodity it becomes a speculative asset class, and with the debt to GDP ratio of most western currencies....

A ducked up currency will impact way more than having a pile of gold can counter, though it certainly will not hurt and if a currency is devalued or replaced gold is the perfect way to 'buy-back in' to the new system

Year Change +7.47% / £+119.94

So with a 3 month lag for inflation adjustment, its up by inflation

Never seen the 1, 8, 5 so 'fat' on an 1845

Hi folks, I am getting more interested in collecting years of sovereigns. I'm wondering if there is a table or spreadsheet available that lists from best, the sovereigns that are most desired or important? I know the super rare will be mega money, but it would be nice to see how far up the list I could find.

So far, found sovereigns from 1885, 1891, 1901, 1911 and 2002 shieldback.

It would be good to get a few more when funds and good coins allow.

An incredibly subjective topic, and it will be different for everyone

I was having a conversation with someone over the weekend though and they asked what my prioritisation was when buying coins, so I can copy and paste my answer here

Rare Shields
Scarce Shields
Rare YH G&D
Scarce YH G&D
Proof special reverse 1/4 Brits
Gillicks (57/59/62/64)
SOTD Sovereigns (preferably graded MS70)
Common YH Shields
Common YH G&D
Maklouf Doubles in PF70
Modern special Reverse

This should have gone. One of the best design, top pop and fantastic price for a complete set. I sold one for £150 more not long ago. Got my hand bitten off.

Yea weird times, no urgency now though sold a couple of bullion sovereigns on FB instead.

**James32** · March 17

Big reduction to £995 posted, will leave this a few days before returning to storage but don’t like having gold in the house so reduced to move it on

**9x883** · March 16

3 day bump for standard members

And beautiful they are too 😍

I think the 2018 looks a little manly.
If you look at the face in isolation anyway, the rest of the design is nice

**Petra** · March 15

I seem to be on a bit of a roll with 1/4oz Brits, todays arrivals from @shawy2510 🙏

**9x883** · March 15

Still available and still only advertised on TSF

**Chrisplym** · March 14

Nice, that's the double year one as well

The 1868 were mixed with silver only and are very yellow and the 1869 were mixed with copper only and were minted using the 1868 die so have the 'wrong' date - this looks to be an actual 1868 alloyed with silver

Dang, that's a lovely looking coin!

Thanks, I got it to pair up with the 1997 of the same design I got last week, someone just happened to be splitting a set
