    Check out the asking price on eBay as the dealer of these Indian Sovs doesn't ship outside the UK...
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/2017-ROYAL-MINT-INDIA-FULL-GOLD-SOVEREIGN-WITH-I-MINT-MARK-IN-CERTIFICATE-CARD-/322635948949?hash=item4b1e99e395:g:-hoAAOSwNJ5ZhaqL
    Here's a money making opportunity if I've ever seen one.  Even if you knocked 250 -300 USD off that seller's asking price that'd still be a decent bit of coin in your pocket for virtually no effort.  Beautiful coin btw.  I have the 1918-I so the thought crossed my mind to collect all the Indian Sovs until I saw what some of these are going for since the 2013 release

    It's not even close to being cold enough for hot chocolate but I'll take this Swiss Miss any day

    Govmint.com did those Unicorns and labels. For those unaware, MCM and Govmint.com are both owned by the same parent.
    Silver ByTheOz put out a heads up YouTube video back on June 6 about them. I saw the video about two hours or so after he posted it and they were already gone.

    Here's a little classic Sov porn for you 
    Just arrived this afternoon.  Loving the 1918 GV Sovs.  Three more to go.

    @Lindeman, if it would help you bounce back, I've got a 2014 5 oz Proof Libertad in its original capsule I'd sell you.  Only 800 minted that year.  You said you had a thing for Libertads...you know you wanna.

    Not a huge fan of after-market antiquing but I must say it looks damn good on this coin!  The subject suits the antiquing.  Congrats on a great pick-up.

    That was quick!  Impressive delivery time for the RM.  Man, those Gold proofs look even better in your photos than on the RMs website.  How's the quality on both?  Have you put them under the loupe yet?  I must say, I'm hoping for the best from a quality perspective for my 1 oz Silver proof but I'm keeping my fingers crossed just in case

    LOL, you're going to have to change your screen name to just "steve"   You're still the go-to guy for all things Sovereign related.

    I'm following @Numistacker's lead...per @HyHy, confirmed that the raw coins were sold out at MCM so I picked this beauty up from NY Coin & Bullion for $149 w/ free shipping...Not overly concerned that it won't come with the OGP as the CoAs don't give a specific number for your coin (kinda like the 2017 BU Silver Krugs).

    My chunky Panda arrived today!  That really is a massive slab from NGC.  Send this off to be re-slabbed, a panda label and she'll be good as new.

    Beautiful coins!  And NGCs presentation really let's them shine.  The design on both the OBV and REV are so well done.  I think you're on to something with these Libertads.

    How is this little chunky, antiqued, high relief, 2 oz beauty flying under the radar at 1,000 mintage from Perth?  I'm working now so the latex gloves and fondling must wait until later (wow that sentence by itself could be taken WAY wrong).  I snagged this from Talisman Coins for around $155 all in.

    My 2017 Rwandan Lunar Rooster Proof.  One of the coins I'm sending along to Numi for the May NGC submission.  Apologies for the poor pics...taken with my phone.

    Welcome to the Forum from one Yank to another!  Just a heads up, this really isn't the proper thread for buying tips.  We have a Silver thread where it may be more appropriate.  Perhaps @morezone or one of our other friendly neighborhood moderators can move it there.  We also have a "Welcome New Members" thread where you can tell us more about yourself, your interests, collecting/stacking goals, etc.  Otherwise, someone may mistakenly get the impression that you're just trolling for a dealer.
    If you have any questions, please let us know.  This joint is chock-full of numismatic wisdom and unique personalities!

    Not anything shiny but an equally treasured gift extended to a Yank across the pond from Token Publishing.  A free copy (not even a shipping charge) of Coin News and Medal News.  These are beautiful publications and I'm seriously considering an overseas subscription.  Many thanks to the outstanding folks at Token!

    BTW...check out that very interesting Isle of Man coin pictured at the bottom right of the Coin News cover.

    @Goldfinga, if @muenzdachs has what you're looking for, I can't recommend them highly enough.  The client service and pricing (even with me being across the pond) is top notch.  I don't think you can go wrong picking either of the two you mentioned (the 1/4 oz or 1/10 oz BU).  Good luck with the search and let us know what you pick up!

    Stunning coin @Sovereign!  Congrats.  That's a completely different look than what I'm used to seeing when hunting the GV Sovs.  Thanks so much for sharing.
