I think this is the rarest one I have. Never seen another bullion 2016 half sovereign knocking about. Marsh has it at fewer than 500 so pretty rare 👍🏼

Cheers for the tip off. Bought one from bbp this morning when they had 3 left. They've now sold out.

Delivery and QC issues will keep this alive too

I waited over 3 months for my 5oz quartered arms when it was released.  I'm wondering if this 5oz will take as long.

Not too shabby for 90+ years old.

Oh, you met him in person then?😁

Who wants to buy a coin of a taxi company?

Been a loooong while since I bothered with the RM…years in fact….but snaffled a 5oz silver just to have a ticket for the ride….got a feeling the gold will do well but not sure about the silver. Anyway, got a ticket and worst case scenario, will have a pretty design to look at as a door stopper.

I managed to get a 5oz silver as well. Nice looking coin.

Sorry ,abdicates

I can't see how he would as it was his ambition to take over and become King. He's not going to give it up anytime soon.

Just in case he changes his mind, put me down for 5 Britannias @theman73 😁

cheers

Old sausage fingers might have a premium in the future if he applicates this year, some say even in March

Applicates?

Sharps Pixley in St. James's Street is one place where you can walk in & buy bullion but only open Monday to Friday.

I haven't sold any gold in the 10 years I've been buying. Waiting for retirement to offload as and when.

The world’s first “flying coin” has been created by the Mint of Poland (Mennica Polska), the maker of Poland’s own official currency.

The coin is set in motion by a motor hidden inside it. A magnetic field generated between the motor and the specially designed base below then causes it to float in the air:

You ever been to a football match in the 80's? Flying coins were commonplace.

How short though? Back up the truck short?

I don't think he's got plans to kick the bucket for a while yet. 15 years then he retires.

His coronation was during Mercury retrograde. His reign will be short.

Compared to QE2, every reign regardless who is on the throne will be short.

He'll be on the road to recovery soon enough as he's got the best medical team around him. I reckon he'll be away from public duties for a short while.

Only messing, get it bloody cosco-ed and sold on here for less. This is the way

Is Treetops typing for you?😄

Still not good then lol 🙃 

Better than bbp but I guess come Monday morning it will be adjusted higher.

Costco at Wembley are usually not that good with their bullion pricing but I noticed this sovereign today at this price.

Ahh! I see it's a coin minted for Gibraltar, I didn't spot that bit because they partially obscured the legend in the original graphic. But that's fantastic I do like some of the Gibraltar minted coins. The proofwork looks beautiful with that half-crown. Did it come in a nice box? 😆

I can't remember how it came to be honest. Ones like this usually come in a carded collection where you add the next coin in the series. I've ordered a few in the past of previous series but never followed up with them.

I have seen some vids from the US with People bartering with silver coins in certain states it looks very promising.

I haven't tried bartering with silver but I'm sure the same mechanic would be interested in doing a deal at some point.
