There really is very little to rival the detail on a good quality proof Jubilee Head obverse.

Must have just been looking at the Aussie mints.

Hi just so we are all on the same page, I thought there were over 10 million of these minted and that they are extremely common?  Am I missing something?
Thanks

Yep
 

Any new people this is NOT a rare coin.

I think RM have worked that out and now have a new coin release almost daily, they need to slow the issues down a little.
I started in 2002 with 5 x shield sovereigns I bought for £70 each, if anyone still has them at that price I am happy to take 5 more 😀

My only recent dealing with Bairds was sending them a mixed bag of broken jewellery. The invoice they issued was short of my estimate as they had classified it all as 9ct even though I knew there was some 18ct in there.
I was told bluntly on the phone that as their guys check everything they receive by XRF they couldn't possibly be wrong but did agree to ask for it to be checked.
The next day I received an amended invoice that correctly valued the parcel.
Totally unacceptable for an alleged top class refiner.

12 Aug 1971: hello chaps, wouldn't mind making a 2.66K tonnes of gold withdrawal
15 Aug 1971: so sorry old boy, till is temporarily closed 😁

And the big one, the 5 pounds.

Or the originals?

 

Can I have the 4x 2017 please.

If this is 2oz silver, I will sell you my set at cost, I'm not sure I'm sufficiently enamored with it to want to keep it. It seems perfect.

I've currently got a some lovely 58's and 59's in the the NGC at the moment.  

In my experience the 59 is definitiely rarer than the 57.
Up until recently with the sudden rise in popularity of the 57 and the commensurate rise in price, they seemed pretty common and I regarded them in the same league as all the other years apart from the 59, which I diligently hoarded.

Stick them on with Ebay GSP enabled. Overseas buyers can't buy them without using the GSP and you just have to send them to the GSP depot in the midlands. Costs slightly more in Ebay fees though, but not much if you are on a 80% offer.
Someone on here kicking themselves then!

As a forum legend ( @James32) once posted, worry not about the potholes behind you but the ones in front  😉

I have always said it that the 59 is the one to have over the 57 if you only had one.  I tend to sell spares of any other Gillick apart from the 59.
What I do not get is why some common Gillicks being priced higher then other common Gillicks in similar condition.

Not sure I could restrict myself  to just Vickie & Lizzie though, when there are such handsome kings around!….😃
