I would like 10 please.

Oh Spyder, this is awful. Like you, we have never had any interest in bars, but can understand why people like them and why this may cause disquiet. Having said that, I have ordered a Sigma it will be another stage of verification. Thank you for bringing this to everyone’s attention.

I noticed that it says ‘orderable’, does one have to pay immediately if one buys some, I can’t remember!

At least they are accepting offers😎

Thanks for letting me know.🖖

Good Evening, If the B17 is still available, I would like it. Could you also advise re the B29. Thank you!!!

If you are able to buy a half sovereign, I would! Particularly one that you aren’t too worried to hold in your hand. There is something about gold coins and owning one will give you a sense of security which is unexpected. It will also spur you on to save for another 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@Spyder you know, I’m not interested in spot prices, AGW or any of that- I think this design is one of the best, reminds me of Boudica, I would buy it, but I already have one🖖🌞🖖

Great advice - I will do that with our coins.

I fully understood your question and it has made me think about our sovs and perhaps checking them at some point. I would of thought that it would be great to add an error coin alongside your date runs. To me, the bottom line of your enquiry is, what is the general market for error coins, is this a productive way to spend my time and can I increase the value of my collection both financially and in pleasure of ownership terms.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I would like the 2003 half please.

Pm’d

Thank you for knowledge, upon reflection I have decided to leave the coins as they are. If ever we decide to sell any, the purchaser can make the decision to buy and, if they prefer, clean the coin should they wish. Meanwhile they can remain in their current condition. 🌞

Wow!!!! I wish that ours was as good as that!! It has some marks, but I feel an opinion of an expert is in the offing😊

Thank you, I suppose it is because most coins that I see on here are clean, without the dirt, no matter how old they are. Although, having said that, I have also seen ‘looks like it’s been cleaned’!! Interestingly, we have some very old silver coins which we wouldn’t dream of cleaning. So, like everything in life, it just gets more complicated 🖖

Some of our sovereigns, the Victorias etc. have grime on them and need cleaning, they look like they were owned by the local coal man. I am not talking about Brasso, Brillo Pads, jewellers rouge or even carbon tet!!!!! What is the best way to remove this build up? Can they be washed with soap flakes and patted dry? Do ultrasound cleaners work, but I’m reluctant to buy another piece of household equipment, we have enough bread makers, steamers etc taking up space. Thank you 😎

No here is another person who doesn’t like grey and white - depressing 😁. Gardenia, the best colour, everyone thinks it’s magnolia. We got out of letting years ago, how many lunatics can you tolerate 🤣

I have a real soft spot for silver Eagles, I bought a 1890 yesterday, not as nice as yours though😎

I do - I REALLY do🤣🖖

Some beautiful 1980 sovereigns from @ilovesilverireallydo really pleased🌞

Pity😂

Thank you 🖖

Thank you, I am trying to sort and categorise 🖖

The older type 1 Eagles have Roman numerals, are they considered more sought after? I am speaking about bullion grade. 🖖

Is the 1999 £5 Diana memorial coin a quintuple sovereign? Also, are the gold £2 coins, (eg Marconi, the one like a football etc) double sovereigns or just a gold variant of a standard coin? 🖖
