So in the most part no, I wouldn’t suggest buying this type of coin - especially unseen.  
I would however accept a low grade of Sovereign where I simply cannot locate a good example.  Marsh R3 or higher typically.  

Good way for dealers to get more than melt price for coins that really should be melted.

Most of us have limited funds. I don't see any point wasting money on coins in awful condition.  For an extra £50/£100 why not have something really nice that'll give you much more pleasure ? If you're collecting purely for weight then bars would be the best bet I think. 

So much for all of the new safety features built into the new ASE design in 2021 eh!

Just further illustrates the failure of the U.S. mint to release a product that matches other sovereign minted bullion coins.  I still have yet to see a single example of a decent fake modern maple or brittania.  I mean, as one of these scumbag Chinese forging entities, why bother attempting a coin with legit security features when you can easily produce derpty derp eagles?

Hi everyone , i am very new to stacking and collecting and only just took delivery of my very first coin ,
ive joined this group after watching youtube content where it was highly rated 
 

Hattons of London 1/8 sov will do me.

In my opinion no.
I once bought a category C 1902 half sovereign. I knew I was taking a risk buying such a coin with regards to condition. I can overlook most defects, scratches, edge knocks, slightly bent or damaged flans, even ex-mounts. But it arrived and it was polished like a shiny button. My own fault, a risk I knew. Cleaned and polished coins are just hideous. So it went straight on eBay and after fees etc. I broke even on it. So no money lost, but I'd never buy such a lottery picked coin again.
 

From a collectors perspective they are probably not the grade they'd be interested in. For those interested in just the gold content they are probably seen as an acceptable way of getting low premium gold. Totally agree that for the majority of the market, most would choose the better condition coin but, C grade coins still have their place.
For me, I have had 2 aims in building my collection. 
Firstly I wanted to have a certain amount of gold. For this purpose I've not been too fussy on the condition, as long as its not too bad, ie:- holed, bent, or worn so much the detail has all but gone. I think as a rule these are just sent to the melt pot, unless from a private seller.
Secondly I've been building a collection of mint and date runs of sovereigns. For this collection I've tried to get some slightly better condition coins but I've used what would be classed as C grade as date fillers until a better coin has come along. This has helped bridge the two aims and hopefully kept the cost and premiums down of the overall collection.
As with any thing really, choose what your goals are, and make your decision on their suitability for your needs from that. 
 

From my point of view,and that is a very amatuer one 🤣 if I had the choice I would not buy a sub standard coin just to save £10,if I was to sell on this forum for instance,a coin like that will always be harder to move on if needed,if the next coin down is in better condition,if they didn't add post extra then the saving may be a little better,on the flip side,the coin you get may very well be ok compared to what another dealer may send randomly,I wish we had more " coin shops" here like the Americans do,so we could shop in person so to speak.

Thanks!

My first, last, and only proof coin. The Coronation 1oz Silver proof received this week. I have to say, it's a stunning design. I love crests and shields on coins. It just feels like a real coin if that makes sense? 
Now I've spent the last hour just staring at it, looking for RM quality control issues, I can put it away in the safe. 
I am a bit surprised these are still available. I have no idea why, just look at it! Stunning.
