Which is next in the series
Luton? Jaywiick? Or Skegness??

How come they can say coming soon for the 1kg silvers when they don’t have the blanks to fulfil the 1kg silver gothic orders from December? 

As the data is contained on the webpage, but not actually displayed, I have just made a bookmarklet to fix that.
One click of a button on any product page and hey presto!

585 is 14k Gold, maybe mixed with 925 Silver? just a guess

Was the chap who you purchased the 1911 from called Del, by any chance?

Got this tiny little 4 Reales Guatemala coin a few days ago. Its so small its actually a bit ridiculous!

Getting a decent image of it close up has proved near impossible with my smartphone, so apologies for the poor image quality.
The final image has a full sov placed next to it.
 

My pickup coins from NGC UK today

Could always get it refinished and keep/wear as a memento?? 

Another 5 proof full and 5  proof 1/2 2022 sovereigns for the stack, thanks to my new  Perth Mint account manger😀

This latest addition to my Platinum Jubilee collection is very nice 👍

Fresh back

Got my coins back from NGC  

“When one chooses to walk the Way of the Mandalore, you are both hunter and prey.”

Shame these are odd sizes, as no 1oz bar capsule will fit these. 

I think easily the most parcels with treasure in I have received in a single day

Finally i got a Gothic pair from the Royal Mint. Both looking to be in very good condition. I'm really happy to hold them. For weeks i was a bit struggling not to buy on secondary market, ass the price came down a bit. Sometimes is good, to be patient. Ordered them together with the James I coins, until now only the 1 OZ arrived. So much better in hand, like it almost more, than Henry.

Received today, slightly off track and indulgent  purchase but the provenance drew me in! Not really sure what to do with it now, other than put it in the beautiful antique oak cabinet that im selling 😉… 

I was able to pick up another SOTD Sovereign at Philoro.de for 850€. I think there are some left.

Hi All. I previously posted photos of a SOTD 2021 Sovereign which graded NGC MS70 Matte although there were areas of missing ‘frost’ which can look like black spots under the light. This missing frost caused many members anguish with their 2022 SOTD Sovereigns in February, leading to some members either selling their coins on the forum or returning them to the mint.
I’ve just received two 2022 SOTD’s back from NGC. Both have graded MS70 Matte although there are spots visible to the naked eye.
Moral of the story? NGC do not regard these as flaws and will give them the top grade. So unless the marks really annoy you, maybe best to keep the coins? They are present in all ‘my’ matte SOTD’s in one shape or form.

For example:

Shows the double thickness and plain edge.

As of 7/4/2022 UK date. (7th April 2022).
There has only been 19 sold on eBay. I appreciate this is just one selling and buying platform but I think it says something for the SOTD 6th Feb 2022 sovereign.
Hold.

A quick snap to remind me until I next see them. 😍🗄️🔒
Edit... Colour difference due to my lighting set up (or lack of) 

Big thanks to @arshimo2012 
 

Stunning rare 1820 1/2 Sov with a mintage of 35,000 in a nice grade

Hoping to add the 1818 and 1817 to complete the run
