sovereignsteve

Well, my first one of this set eventually turned up, and very nice it is too. Not one of the rarer ones at 674 mintage but still, I'm wondering whether I should have started this; it may get expensive.
 

A few reasons :-
 
I have a couple and would sell one tomorrow if i could grade and double or triple the price
The populations on pcgs and ngc are minute
I'm assuming this one is from madstacks and he had problems with milk spots (not on the mouse) So maybe time to let them go
 
Its about profit.. If i buy them for 90 euro and spend £25 grading and postage and can sell for £150 upwards for a PF69 or PF70 then i would
 
So if they grade poorly then i wouldn't bother but if they grade well then i'd probably grade and sell.. Checking my coins under a 30x loop they look ok ...but thats only my opinion

I Recently received The Marco Polo 2 oz Silver Coin from New Zealand Mint Journeys of Discovery collection 
 

         

Yes, first (small) head and second (large) head.
Easy to tell apart if you see them both together but not so easy otherwise.
Quite important to tell these apart with the '48 as difference in price at VF grade is £2k as opposed to £400 or £6k and £900 in EF grade.

What years did you get do you know?
 
I was really pleased to get a couple of 1840's, no idea if they're any more valuable than later years, but just seems cool the older they are   I did look at mintages at 48/49 were low years, again no idea if that makes too much difference. 

St Gaudens just got delivered -
 

 
Love it

Just bought 3 shield back sovereigns from HGM 
 
1845, 1848 or 9.. just got off the phone but can't remember lol and 1854 
 
They have 10+ up so great time to get a shield sovereign if you want one at £204+postage

I must be near  or past 1000 oz now. Need to do a stocktake sometime.

I wouldn't normally post in this thread, but got a pretty decent haul of shield sovereigns delivered today and thought why not!
 
1871 shield sovereign x 3
1871 Sydney shield sovereign x 2
1872 shield sovereign x 4
1879 Melbourne sovereign... yeah i know i couldn't help myself, but happy with this lot.
 
I also received an order from HGM
1873 Sydney shield sovereign
At first glance this looked like a great coin, but in natural light it was apparent that some bugger had decided to polish it!
2012 double sovereign commemorative 4 portrait coin.  This is a stunning coin, but with a slight scratch.  In two minds about what to do about this one.

Also picked these up today,
Can't be too careful....

And to complete the set, the last few elusive 2oz BU Kooks.
