Just because I want these sold and I am going to struggle with images….anyone want all eight coins for £1,375.00 posted? (c.220 per half and 120 per quarter and post) Otherwise I will probably be looking to consign to a third party for eBay sales on commission…..just zero time to mess about these days! Cheers!

I have the following for sale: Half sovereigns 2022 Jubilee - £240 2022 Memorial - £230 2023 Coronation - £230 2024 - £230 Quarter Sovereigns 2024 - £125 each (four available) Postage is additional. Any questions please let me know. Photographs are to be shared later tonight, but they are the Royal Mint produced carded (credit card sized) versions. Thanks, Andrew.

They would probably include the pigeon….

I am so far gone from the Mint that I didn’t even know about this coin. Serious question. How can we go from a vibrant and limited number of great new designs to this mess? I recently looked at the mintage details page on the Mint’s site and it really hits you when you look at the difference between 2009 (for example) and 2020. The vast number of different designs and tat that is now being sold compared to previous years is shocking. It’s gone from a decent industry and design house market place to a discount perfume shop on Oxford Street.

I had a PCGS coin that I was convinced was a better grade than the MS63 it had. It was bought in an old green holder and I had sent it to be regraded. It came back as an MS63. I cracked it out and sent to NGC who gave it a MS65. I then sent to PCGS and asked them to crossover and they accepted it. It was lucky, but also based on an understanding that it is possible. It is indeed scary when you first start to crack the slabs open. But once you have done it two or three times it’s fine. NGC are much easier to break open!!!

The following is my view based on years of experience of grading and cross grading coins. Others may well disagree with me! I can only speak about what I have experienced. If you have PCGS graded coins that you want in NGC slabs I would advise on breaking them out and sending them in raw. PCGS have higher standards and you may get a better NGC grade on a raw coin than simply asking for a crossover.

Good discussion around the mint error cedis here: @BackyardBullion can I please take one, please? Can I add it to the 1oz TSF bar if not already sent? Just curious and a nice addition to the world collection!

Even if i wanted to, I can see that someone else is interested! Good stuff Adrian! Another good quick sale!

Awesome - very exciting. Thank you! I sent a PM. Happy to take a second one if there are any spares, but only once everyone else who wants one, gets one.

Is it a wooden box ala Royal Mint that will hold all ten nicely.....and have loads of unecessary booklets about history......but be 1,000.00 GBP to buy? I am in again, please!

Don’t forget the cocker spaniels for the deaf. The RM really do like to ignore what they are being told by their customers (as well as what they are sending out to their customers). More dog noise heard in Llantrisant that Battersea these days.
