I’ll take 1x 18’’ necklace and 1x bracelet please

What a wonderful Sixpence? @jultorsk Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on this one, lovely full flan and plenty of detail on the Obverse- her collar and robes look new! And on both sides, very clear Legends. Is this Spink 2562? Its a solid VF grade, all day long.

Agreed, but the odd holiday or treat in retirement on the back of saving from something that’s nice to hold in your hand in the meantime would be satisfying.

Good to see you back Steve

The 2020 edition of Spink will suffice in terms of information- the latest edition will provide a more up to date price guide- prices have jumped exponentially since 2020- and you can take with a pinch of salt price guides when it comes to the higher grade examples! Auction sites such as Noonans, London Coins, Spink, Hosker Haynes, Baldwins etc. etc are also great resources as well as specialist online dealers.

I would say spend time visiting well established coin fairs, handle the coins, and ask the dealers questions- importantly, find an era/ period/ monarch you’re interested in and do some research. Also join some Facebook groups where you’ll pick up some good information. There’s some fabulous books available that’ll give you lots of reading/ overview, I would recommend this Spink book- it won’t break the bank either, there is also a Decimal volume. Spink, Coins of England Pre- Decimal Issues, is in my opinion, a must have- this will provide you a good overview of each period from Celtic Coinage up until Elizabeth II Pre- Decimal. The 2024 Edition will be released soon. Once you find a period you’re interested in- then get geeky!

It looks like: Elizabeth I (1558-1603) Threepence 1578- 82, mm Rose, Fifth Issue. Spink 2573.

Last two- anyone interested at £70 posted? 1952 George VI SA 2 Shillings NGC PF66 1952 George VI SA Sixpence NGC PF67

Wanted- a 9ct Gold Curb Chain but other design considered. Ideally between 15g and 25g in weight and 18’’ and 21’’ in length. Please drop me a PM to discuss further. Cash or Gold Bar/part cash trade.

Yes- the 2022 issues were also available in both fineness too- but not the inaugural Charles III so I have stuck to the 22ct.

My Gold (and Silver) Sixpence vanity project continues with the 2022 Elizabeth II & 2023 Charles III 22ct Gold issues. Beautiful John Bergdahl designs- these to follow on from the 2021 (the inaugural Gold) issues in both 22 & 24ct Gold. Thanks again to @SilverMike for parting with the 2021’s a while back and introducing me to these sweet little Gold coins.

Black Friday spoils. Cheers @Gordy

I really don’t know why you would write this drivel- I’m speechless

Thanks James, but I already have this 2020 Set- but a great price for someone 👍

@Roy take your capital back and reinvest the £12k by hoovering up as many Memorial and Coronation Proof Sovereign issues as you can find at the current depressed prices and tuck them away for a few years 😎 Nice profit by the way 👍

I remember when someone here on the forum- I can’t remember who-sussed out on 6th March 2019, that Hatton Garden Metals were offering 1oz Gold Queen’s Beasts Lions for £1036 each- members here on TSF hammered the ‘deal’. At the time, Gold Price was £978- so a 6% premium, which was unheard of for a QB. I bought, and paid for mine, but they didn’t honour the price for anyone- they contacted me by telephone to explain it was a mistake- following my protest to the salesperson she offered to make amends and bought me off, with a discount on the premium of 1x Victoria YH Shield.

My spoils from the recent Bullion By Post Black Friday promotion. A collective saving of £296 off the Royal Mint issue price for the Sovereign & Half Sovereign- and the offer sweetened further with 2 free 1oz Silver Britannia- one for me, and one for the Goldfish in their ‘refer a friend’ promotion. Essentially the Half Sovereign weighing in at only £45 after factoring in the savings and the freebie Silver- well, it justifies my unplanned purchase.

Lovely Sovereigns, great work! Good luck collecting the remainder 👍
