    It’s now an expensive ‘club’ to join, as with any 1oz gold. ATS where I normally go, are selling these at about £1960!
    Like many TSF members, certainly couldn’t afford one today. Mine, bought many years ago cost £510, but if you hang on to them long enough there’s a profit to be made. But this design is one to keep I feel. It has lovely sharp edges, matte finish, and just what gold should look and feel like……

    Strong grade with great details remaining across both faces
    Two points to note - scratches to field on obverse, and what looks like a mark having been clamped by a metal tool, afflicting the G of Gratia and the I of Fid. Otherwise a very pleasing coin.

    Once again. A little frightening asking the question whilst we are at golds ATH. However, still looking for my missing dates and mints. I'm down to 33 sovereigns required excluding the Rare + sovereigns (List 2, 30
    sovereigns) according to the rarity rating in the 2021 The Gold Sovereign Series book as revised by Steve Hill. 
    They are as follows:-                                                                                                                                                                              List 2

    George IV,   Bare Head 1827, 1830   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Laureate 1823-R3, 1825-R3, Bare Head 1828-R4
    William IV,   1831, 1833, 1835, 1836, 1837,  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1830-R4,

    Elizabeth II, 1987, 1991, 1992, 1993  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  1953-R-2
    All listed dates and mints are common to rare, (except list 2 which are rare+) in The Sovereign series book (Michael A. Marsh, Revised by Steve Hill). Quite a good book by the way for those collecting Sovereigns.
    I'm happy to consider any of the above. I have a limited budget so please don't feel offended if after I have bought a few I tell you I may need to pass go a few time before I can start spending again. I may not be able to check back immediately to any replies but will answer any posts or messages as soon as I can. Kind regards.
    List 2 Is really unobtainable, with the best I could hope for is up to R3. The list being classed as follows :-
    R2 - Very Rare
    R3 - Extremely Rare
    R4 - 11 to 20 examples estimated to have survived
    R5 - 5 to 10 examples estimated to have survived
    R6 - 3 to 4 examples Known to exist
    R7 - 1 or 2 examples Known to exist
     Last picture of the sovereign collection. A few more have been added.

    Zhorro reacted to Chrispy33 in Advice on coin quality   
    Hi everyone to my 1st post
    I’m fairly new to bullion coins/rounds and recently I got some coins from an online dealer, not unknown to this forum. Though now I am pretty happy they are silver, having done all the measuring and tests i can (including a homemade pinger made  from lab tongs) I did initially wonder about some possible quality issues. 
    I’d like to ask you all if any of you have experience with theses samples. 
    1st up. Somali 23 wildlife elephant 100 shilling. I find them rather dull white, apart from highly reflective areas.  2. Tchad 23 goddess europa 5000fr. i find the relief of the bull to be rubbed or possibly malformed. No other visible scratches in the flats. Kind of disappointed with the definition. Are they all like this? is it that they may have been pre owned or is that just the minting quality? 3 Tchad 23 Bull Bear 5000fr. Same comments as 2 really. Muscle tone and fur only really show if i shine the light across it. otherwise its pretty white and flat. On the shield side i have only just noticed the arrows on the Ram and Lion.  4 Noah’s Ark 23. I really did seriously wonder about these until I got a sample from a totally trusted supplier. Then I couldn’t find a single difference down to the 0.01 gr So in conclusion:
    am i expecting too much definition? Even if they are mint new? i don’t have a physical dealer near me to ask and everyone takes photos with very hard light and black reflections so its hard to tell. Even MY pics i did with black reflections look good, but I do wonder.  Any advice you guys n gals may have would be much appreciated. ps sorry about the phone reflections in the photos Thanks, Chrispy

    Hi everyone,
    I am in the process of building a 6 month emergency fund for the family at the moment, so to help do that I need to part ways with this lovely 1997 1 oz Australian Platinum Koala coin in its original square cap holder.
    The coin itself is in magnificent condition, the holder may have a minor scratch or two but excellent given its age. The mintage of this coin is quite low at just 41,153.
    Starting price of around £SOLD - price will include registered airmail postage with tracking.
    Pics are here below -
        
    More close up pics - 
       
    As always, I will ensure every single coin is securely and discreetly wrapped and labelled not to attract any unwanted attention from customs (my record is 100% on this point on all precious metals as I take painstaking care to specially wrap each coin). All goods will be shipped from my home in Tokyo to you and generally take 8-12 days to get to the UK via registered airmail with a tracking number. Please feel free to check all my detailed feedback here if we haven’t dealt with each other before.
    Payment by bank transfer to my GBP account and any questions or to make an offer feel free to ask me via PM.
    Thank you for looking,
