2012 Proof Half Sovereign

Ordered a 2016 Proof Half Sovereign PF70

We need a "Today I didn't receive" thread.
Was supposed to be getting my monster box delivered tomorrow by Fedex but after checking the tracking I now have:
"Shipment exception - Delay beyond our control" on Wednesday and Thursday.
Scheduled delivery date now just says "Pending" and "No scheduled delivery date available at this time"
bad [emoji20]

Do you want your coins sent back to NCG to have the labels put right?

Good conversation here....
and here

Indeed. Our very own numistacker has recently taken care of a set of these.....I have the 1/2 and double now and will be looking for a reasonably priced full and 5 sov as time goes by.....not a cheap bunch of coins to buy at all........once you get one, you feel like you have just bought a house - ooh, got on the ladder type feeling......beautiful design......distinctive, rare and forever desirable, and of course with a plain edge. Distinctive. Yes. That ‘s the right word for this coin. Any experts think sending this in for conservation is worth it.....as there are a couple of copper spots on the fella’s cheeks.....better pic....second one much higher resolution......thoughts ?
 

Got the new 2018 half sovereign but its going back unless idiots.
I can see specs going through the frosting onto the shiny part of the coin.

I can see the 6

sold for a fair price though £1270 

No I didn't bid on that one, so can't blame me

So i sold my 1911 proof (NGC PF65) making a small profit 
so i bought of ebay auctions 
1937 PCGS AU53
1902 PCGS PR62 Matte
