  1. Thanks @James32, @GoldDiggerDave, @DdraigAur! @LawrenceChard- I only have a quarter 2017 Proof, so I am not selling a 2017 Proof Sov! Are you looking for one? 🙊
  2. Hello Forum members! How much would you pay today to get your hands on a 2017 gold proof sovereign? I have the The Gold Sovereign (2021 edn.) by M.A. Marsh (Rev. by Steve Hill) and I think they were putting this coin at around £1000. Cheers, fmadmarq
  3. In 2016 I bought two The Last Round Pound UK £1 Brilliant Uncirculated coins in the presentation pack (images attached). While inspecting them carefully I saw that the inscription at the rim of the coins (DECUS ET TUTAMEN) had been minted in two directions (also images attached). In the 2022 Spink - Coins of England book (J38 page 65) and I cannot see any reference to those variants minted and potential rarity/valuation? Does the inscription on the side constitute an error/rarity? Is it possible to know how many of those coins were minted with the inscription in two directions? I also have a £2 Shakespeare - Tragedy coin with the side inscription also in both directions... It would be great to hear the feedback from more expert collectors in the forum...!
  4. Likewise to @Shinus73 I grabbed the known 2023 coins so far - the 1oz Silver Rabbit and the The (Tudor) Yale of Beaufort (Silver Proof Two-Coin Set). The reverse frosted seems to have a mintage of 500(!?). If no further Proof 2023 Elizabeth II coins are minted, I would dare to say that the animals in Gold or weighing a lot in Silver might be of some interesting numismatic value... Regarding the Bullion Britannias, well the Royal Mint could spice up things with a couple of 2 over 3! 🙊
  5. Two privy mark "Mad-king" the third Sovereigns! 🙃 I am wondering if I should slab and grade at least one of them... 🤔
  6. Hey Silver Forum members, So... I think finally I got the same bug that @BackyardBullion was suffering from... Two set Silver Proof Britannia - 1oz... Reverse Frost from the first round had some issues "hairlines" and black lines/scratches near the lettering... I sent it back and now got a replacement, the COA (#321) floating and the new 1oz Reverse Frost got pox crossing the Atlantic - a.k.a milk spotting. Can new silver coins milk that fast !? Image attached... Shall I sent it back (again)?
  7. Hello all, Some Britannia 2022 Silver Proof coins are again available on the Royal Mint website... 1oz, 1oz reverse frost, 2oz (both regular and Britannia through the ages). Best, F
  8. Thank you all for the feedback! I have another (annoying) question: 1851 half-sovereign - moderately uncommon versus scratches marks. It seems to have still some shine in it, the hair above her hear is a bit flat and there are clear marks, scratches/wear on the open fields... Price proposed £214. Would this coin be a potential go, or a potential pass? 🤔 half1851vic.tif.ziphalfshield1851.tif.zip
  9. @sovereignsteve - My mistake the Half Sovereigns are at £214, sorry... Thank you sovereignsteve and LawrenceChard!
  10. Hello all, Sorry for my disappearance... Mix of busy with work, getting all the coin images and managing family dealings so I can "rescue" these coins... If I was home I would have just finished the deal myself... 🙊 I have no way of testing the veracity of the coins since I am across the pond and my family does not have the knowledge to discern either. By looking at the images, I naively think that they "look genuine"... I do not think that there are specific varieties or major 1 inversions, A instead of V's etc. They are all Type 1A Young Victoria except one that I have seem Type 1B 1869 half-Sov die 23. The seller is pricing the Sovereigns at £406 and the 1/2 Sovereigns at £406 (independently of the year). Some coins have clear wear, hairlines, edges, sometimes scratches, one has a vampire bite in the neck... I genuinely would like your "brutal" input (@GoldDiggerDave, @LawrenceChard, etc) if you reckon these are worth acquiring and which you would prioritize based on their apparent state. Currently, my budget is limited so I cannot acquire the bulk of it... Struggled to compress and get all images in, hopefully they will still have a decent resolution... The Halfs are in a PDF The Sovereigns Sov57_vic 2.tifSov60_shield 2.tif Sov53_vic 2.tifSov57_shield 2.tifSov53_shield 2.tifSov52_vic 2.tif Sov42_shield 2.tifSov42_vic 2.tifSov52_shield 2.tif Sov60_vic 2.tif ahlfsovs_silver forum.pdf
  11. @Midasfrog - Sure, the price I am getting the 1842 Sovereign is £406. I hopefully will also get 3x 1/2 Sovs from 1846, 1851 and 1855 (and before you ask 😋🙊 - £214 each). ☺️
  12. @HerefordBullyun - Nope! 😋🙊
  13. Thank you all for your input, you are great! Yes, I feel a bit paralyzed in my choice but, I think picking best quality trumps rarity!
