The topic of Grading coins often arises on this forum in one guise or another. A couple of years ago, @SilverMike eloquently described the context of Grading at that time, and it continues to stand up- although I don’t subscribe to all he says.

Yes, there was Elizabeth II Gold- First Coinage all Gold- Sovereigns- produced for ‘institutional collecting’. Realistically, these Sovereigns are never going to come to market.
