Some extra photos as I have the coin in hand now.  It is a 1863, first year of die numbers but this has none as the numbers were added to coins in late 63.
This coin is keeper for sure as I have not seen any other sovereign like this.  

Lovely detail, very hard to find one this good.
Love hammered coins, something so personal holding a coin that's been hand made by someone hundreds of years ago! Coins that have been spat out of a machine just doesn't have the same charm, no matter how perfect they may be.

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. 

I think @richatthecroft may be onto something... hammered. Wow.

The stickers on the outer baggies I received revealed the product codes (and manufacturing dates).

etc.
Clear as mud.  
E.g., the Henna I got was bagged in October 2021 and Little Treasure in November 2020.

If using GoogleSheets you can use the following function to live track the spot price for gold:
For silver, change the first '2' to a 3. For platinum change that 2 for a 4.
These prices will be in GBP. For USD, change the last '2' to a 3, for Euro swap that 2 for a 4.
It should work in newer versions of Excel too (older ones didn't support live stock prices), but I can't guarantee it.

Mines got stopped at customs in Portugal.... Waiting for them to release.. They work so slow what a joke

It’s the season of goodwill. If you need them for presents I can lend you mine and replace them when you receive them from RM.

Oh my gosh! The dawning of gold addiction in an innocent newbie!
You might look like this now ...

 
But give it a year ....

 

Welcome to the slippery slope

With the recent gold dip, i got a "best value" full sovereign, I just wanted to get one if possible before xmas as i still figure out a plan for what im actually chasing next year.

I would take pics but i dont feel its required, but its a 2022 QEII the design i quite like actually even though im not fussed overall, looks like its new, not a single mark on the thing or wear of any sort, i was expecting something used so i could put my grubby mitts on it and play heads or tails.
The weirdest thing though, I actually feel something that i have one now, It just feels good to own heh.
