SilverMike makes some great points in that post. Thanks for re-posting it @richatthecroft The market will evolve and adapt to changing trends. Nothing ever stays the same for ever As in business, "if you don't innovate your evaporate". Everything is always in some state of change Very interesting point he makes about institutions, big investors, banks, pension funds being in the market can easily explain why the very rarest graded pieces have exploded in price in the past 10 years knowing that fiat currency worldwide is being devalued at an alarming rate Imagine how much fiat value can be stored in such a tiny space. A NGC slab box, a box full of (x20) £100,000 graded pieces is £2million quid of value Certainly interesting times we are in

Has Sam Smith just walked by ??

Gold is going to $400oz anyway soon so we are snookered either way, graded or ungraded

Hope so I've got three of the buggers now gathering dust in their metal coffin in the safe deposit box

Is it maybe going to be struck on day of coronation?

Priced at the same as royal mint RRP at launch

Nice find

Are you a coin collector? Do you enjoy the thrill of the hunt, the joy of discovering a rare gem, and the satisfaction of adding it to your collection? Or are you just in it for the investment? Whatever your motivation may be, there's no denying that the world of modern coin collecting has changed dramatically in recent years. One of the biggest changes has been the rise of the "Guaranteed 70" coin. It refers to coins that have been certified by a third-party grading service NGC or PCGS as being in perfect, flawless condition. These coins are highly sought after by collectors and investors alike because they represent the pinnacle of quality. But is the Guaranteed 70 coin the death knell of modern coin collecting? Some could argue that it has ruined the concept of collecting from a hobby to being more like gambling or investing. After all, if you can simply buy a coin that is guaranteed to be perfect, where's the challenge or fun in that? Others argue that the Guaranteed 70 coin has its place in the hobby. It provides a clear benchmark for quality, and it allows collectors and investors to have confidence in their purchases. Plus, the thrill of finding a rare coin in perfect condition is still there, even if it's not as challenging as it once was. What about the Royal Mint? Beginning to strike private deals with the likes of Heritage to sell pre-graded 70s in the USA market Should they not just ditch their own packaging and just sell everything in NGC 70 holders? Some argue that this would significantly devalue their product, as part of the fun of collecting is in the hunt for that perfect coin. Others argue that it would actually increase the value of their product, as collectors and investors would have more confidence in their purchases. What do you think? share your thoughts Is the Guaranteed 70 coin a good thing for modern coin collecting, or is it the death knell of the hobby? Are 69s the ugly duckling ignored diamonds in the rough to buy it at much reduced price and enjoy the piece Should the Royal Mint embrace it or resist it? selling pre-graded 70s in the UK would certainly improve their PR for quality & guaranteed flaw free It is certainly open up the discussion and hear your thoughts here

Is anyone just sitting out this coronation frenzy completely?? And not buying anything ?

hhmmmmmmmmmmmm choices choices Might consider taking a punt on the gold £5 (mintage 500) or the 2oz gold (300 mintage) Mintages are not crazy daft high Both suitably weighty and within my budget with Royal Mint 0% interest free "tick" But lots and lots of coins for the essentially the same thing From that press release i count x18 different varieties of differences metals, shapes, sizes and budgets

Many thanks Richard - much appreciated

to the collectors of old coins - was anything launched in gold for the 1953 QEII Coronation ? My little google look about didn't spring anything up easily Any links or help ??

i see the memorials and jubilee sovereigns have slid in price since, hoover up as many graded 70s as you can at the moment while there's Coronation distractions happening for the next 3-6 months and folks eyes are off these classics of the future

. . . . . to da' mooooooooooooooooooon 1980 all time high
