I sold a few a week or so ago cheaply. It suited me at the time but I have nothing for now I'm afraid. Rarely can you pick up a decent shield for less than £450 unfortunately.

And they all spent an hour looking at each one 😆

I'd hate to worry you , but one of those sovereigns look suspect 🤔

Thanks for that. I wondered what the figure would be for a £500 sovereign

That makes me wonder even more 😆 amazing

Bonkers in my opinion, but if you have the money and that's your thing then why not ? I wonder how these grading coins works ? Does one guy arrive at work with a huge hangover and gives a lower mark whilst the other guy in another room is as fresh as a daisy gives better marks ? Are coins cross examined and second/third opinions sought ? Stick 10 TSF members in a room and I bet they couldn't agree on a grade , once you get to high MS levels.

1891 ?

Well that was fun. Now time to rebuild the stack.

All sold now ?

Nearer a half I'd say. I'd only buy from a reputable seller like Duncan. There are many fakes I've read . Not the thing you'd collect from eBay. They are magnificent coins.

Well worth a bump.

Is anyone going to sleep tonight?

Well I was going to mention it slipped it mind 🙃 . I wonder how many more numersmatic dealers haven't caught up yet. ?

I sold a bunch recently cheap but bought a few lovely graded stuff with the proceeds. You have to take what comes.

Some are listed incorrectly. That's off-putting

Cambridgeshire coins have finally raised their prices. There was some bargains recently.

The Queen has hair and all the lions have eyes. Wonderful

I'm waiting for a quote on a new floor. Depending on that , if I have a few bob left over I'll be buying some gold whatever. We need to start Gold stackers anonymous meeting.

Well just finished my coffee and they insist they don't sell gold .

I never knew Costa sold gold . Everyone is getting in on the act now. Sovereigns and coffee great combination.

Yes , but I'm buying higher grade coins as the gap between spot for bullion and premium you pay for higher grades is closing slightly.

I saw that but it's not that bad. Still a lovely coin.

How is that impaired?

At these prices my Half Sovereign collection is getting a boost. 😔 amazing to think now paying for a half what I used to pay for a full not all that long ago
