Do you have a Euro account by any chance? I'm interested in both the 1987 and 88 doubles, but the banks Euro to UK Sterling rate is terrible. They will be sent to my UK address

Goodness that does look strange. The number at the top of the horses head is very unusual. Would be interesting to read what others say. It could be a rare error coin 🤔

Yes. Unfortunately just one 57 but I’ll update a pic of the rest as I put them in my off site storage. From memory there was a 58, 62, 63, 64, 65 and two 68’s amongst other years. I left the 66’s as they seemed to have the highest mintage. I also got a couple of 74’s and he gave me a special reverse 2005 as part of the deal 👍. So they weren’t all Gillicks.

Thank you sir 🙏

So I did the deal today for 17 Sovereigns. Here’s the 1957 one.

Looks like more and more are going down this route 🙏

👌👌👌

Thanks for the advice. I’ll post how I get on tomorrow 🙏

It will be a gram for gram straight swap, based on pure gold value 👍 👍👍👍

Thanks 🙏

Thanks 👍👍👍

Thank you for your response. I don’t really know what all the rarer years are. However I did see a 57, some 58’s and a couple of 74’s. No 59’s. Are there any others I should look for?

Thank you for your response 🙏

Hi All 👋 Advice needed. In light of the increase in gold, and possible continuing movement, I have been thinking about my 1 oz Gold coins and bars. Although I am fully aware that there is still a market for them, I personally am already moving away from buying more 1oz gold because of the price and focusing on fractional. If the price continues to rise, I think more and more buyers will feel the same way. Thus making it potentially harder to move in the future. So, I was with my LCD yesterday and he just received about 30 Gillicks in high grade (to my untrained eye). After sounding him out, he would be prepared to do a straight swap for the 1oz pieces I have, for the Gillicks, at the same price. €72 a gram. This is because the 1oz I have don’t turn up in Portugal very often. He told me to let him know by tomorrow, as he’s holding the Gillicks for me. Just so you know the 1oz I have are all Perth Mint lunar series and Perth mint rectangular dragon coin bars. Off course the CGT aspect is also of interest and the potential increase in Gillick prices. Just to add prices will be calculated at pure gold content. So it will be an equal trade. Would love to hear your thoughts. Would you do it? 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you. It’s what I originally thought but always good to get feedback from experts in this field 🙏

Thanks 🙏 Thanks. I thought as much. Didn’t know they were illegal to own though 🙏

Morning TSF, Been sent images of this this morning, and asked to make an offer if interested. Being no expert on Sovereigns myself, I see a few alarm bells. Having researched the coin and knowing it’s one of the most faked, I compared it to one on the coin cabinet site and there are differences. So my gut says fake, but would love to hear from the experts on here. Even if it is a fake, it might worth it’s weight in gold. Would have to see it in person first. Thanks 🙏

Already on it 😉. Thank you sir 🙏

👍👍👍

Here’s quite a bit of info. Would love to see the 5kg Gold proof in person 😳 https://britanniacoincompany.com/blog/waterloo-medal/

From the couple of responses so far it looks it will be fractional bullion for me from now on, unless the proofs etc, are of a very similar value 🙏

That’s the truth 🙏

So I was with my local coin shop dealer yesterday and had a very interesting chat. I was curious to why he was so stacked up with gold (not so much silver) and at good prices. He mentioned that this was always the case when gold was on the up or there was some kind of global crisis. Sellers cash in and buyers hold out expecting a correction. Once things settle down he says buyers then come back in, as they realise this is the new norm. However what he then went on to say was quite interesting. He said during the 2008 financial crisis, it didn’t matter wether it was a gold proof, graded or of Numismatic interest (unless very, very rare), he was paying bullion prices and people were accepting. He went on to say that PM’s are not on the up because the world is all rosy. He was of the opinion that even at these levels it was good to buy, as when the SHTF scenario arrives (which he doesn’t feel is far off), then it will literally be unaffordable to the masses. My initial thoughts were this was only in Portugal and then I remembered Tim from the Yankee stacking youtube channel saying something similar a couple of years ago. So what are your thoughts? Do things need to be really, really bad for this to happen, or will indeed the majority of gold being proof, numismatic or graded be the same as bullion? I guess if you need the money you’ll take what you can get 🤔

Anyone interested in making an offer before it goes back into the vault?

It really is. Thank you 🙏
