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. Reference: Spink, 2023 ‘Coins of England’ The smart collector among us bagged the 1953 dated Proof Gillick Portrait depicted on the South Africa Gold issues 😉

Lovely coins

Hi there, nice set you have inherited. Certainly worth a large premium over spot- if in excellent condition, a raw set I would say £4k on a bad day.

Any takers

Today I received - some distinguished Charles I (1625- 49) coins- - Five Shillings & Sixpence- References as per the coin tickets. And all my Charles I coins together:

2021 Silver Proof Alfred the Great PIEDFORT £5 Crown. A Marmite issue! That initially attracted only a cult following and then mass appeal, due to the beguilingly simple design, its uniqueness and I suspect, the extremely low mintage. The Gold £5 Crown when it comes to market irregularly, make well in excess of £4k. In Silver, the coins are extremely attractive and with mintages of only 910 for the Piedfort and just 2260 for the Crown, they’re an attractive proposition- if you like Marmite! The coins present with a stunning inscribed edge. Supplied as issued, with presentation cases, COA’s booklets and outer card boxes. Piedfort £5 Crown: £120 posted 1st Signed £5 Crown: £85 SOLD
