I had another case in January. WAG (an auction house where I am bidding quite a lot) had this lot of sovereigns, including 1918 and 1919 without mintmarks:

I notified the auction house, and the lot was withdrawn very fast.
Now, three months and three auctions later, the 1919 piece (or a very similar one; with the same *really* big second 9) was auctioned off as part of another lot, and sold:

Here is some more information on the RMS Douro and its cargo of gold coins.

It's got your name written all over it, literally says "James" on the thing. Bet that makes you want one. 

It's just the same with women.
😎

It's not just search engines.
Look at national newpapers, full of typos, spelling errors, grammatical errors, syntax errors, factual errors, fake news, propaganda...
I shouldn't be too critical of them, their infinite number of chimpanzees do get a lot right, especially considering they are paid peanuts.
😎

My advice is do not do it.
Keep the coin in the capsule and place the capsule in the flip.
That's my method when sending coins for grading.

I thought this was refering to a special SOTD Valentine sovereign!  Oh no, I've just given the RM an idea!

Mine does, but then I buy it cheap from alibaba

The gold shouldn’t milk spot at least 😂 

Gothic 9am but try a little earlier.....if today was bad tomorrow will be a blood bath 🤣

I didn't join the queue until about 14:45ish just to see what was left. I got in about 15:00ish and all that was there were the silver 2coin set, so satisfied I left thinking to myself I managed to not spend money 👍😁👍. I got an email from the royal mint a few mins later which I naturally open like a dumbass just to find there were some sovereign's back in stock so I took it as a sign from the gods that I should buy one and live off of beans and toast for the rest of the year 🤦.

Shucks, I was too busy getting this instead!

 

an absolute waste of 30 + minutes, congrats to those who have bagged one and to those that think that they have bagged one. 
 
To those that did not get one, £675 still in your hands for the time being.
 
I am off to work, enjoy your Sundays folks. 

I got mine 🤩
I was on two queues (phone and computer). Computer said queue number 270, phone number 2017. Computer counted down really fast, and I got in

I'm in 🥳🥳
Edit...sorry false alarm, I clicked on the wrong website ( note to self , close all tabs belonging to Saturday night 🥴)

This time tomorrow chaps.............

2:30 is always a good time for a dental appointment...........And it does feel like some days the RM are pulling our teeth out.  

Anne Jessopp has heard you mocking the crown and banned you're ip address 🤣

I resemble that remark mate! 😄

Coronation chicken was actually invented for the foreign guests to be served after the Coronation , COTD (curry on the day I suppose) 😂

It's also a lot more expensive, but in a cheaper looking box. Don't forget that!  

The RM site says 'Available February 6'. To me it sounds like Sunday. In the past we saw that the launch was not on the SotD day but maybe this time...? There should be some notification from the RM the day before, so watch all channels on Saturday. 

I can't get this image out of my head when ever i go to buy something from the mint 🤣

Yes totally agree with this. For 2022 because of the special design the quarters could be worth getting. 👍🏼
