I just got off the phone with Anne Jessopp. She confirmed that she has been crying with laughter for the past six years since she took the position as CEO. It’s been so easy and brilliant. The SOTD and cancellation of series of coins has made this a licence to mint money. And they already have one of those!! Literally rolling in fiat cash. Mint mint mint mint……. Anyway, she told me that the Mint has just received the go ahead confirming they now have enough of her ‘**** me they’re idiots’ tears to support a release of sovereigns for ten years in 9999 gold where the 0001 consists of her aforementioned and specially extracted tears. This does of course mean that the sovereigns will have a slightly off colour gold/grey colour. Sad times. But hey, she is still laughing.

I was all in on this and wanted two. They only have one so I will pass. Need one for both houses.

Yep. Reeled in too. Was just sitting here shaking my head…..not even April 1st!!!

Bump and a 10% sale on everything listed. To continue for a few days. Just PM if interested! Cheers

Thanks for the tag, James. I can’t comment as this is not something I know about! Sorry to not be able to help.

Not quite as their boxes usually come in around the £800 mark. So perhaps worth a punt if you like expensive boxes.

Just out of interest, is anyone offering these to pre-order? I know that a few companies have done so in the past. Thanks. @BackyardBullion excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Great information.

Any questions let me know. 6x 1/40oz carded gold coins (Charles 75 birthday, RNLI, National Gallery) - £90.00 each. 4x 1/40oz carded gold Charles III coronation gold coins - £100.00 each. 1x 100g Silver Bar with original case - £110.00. 1x Ghana African leopard 100 cedis mint error (wrong denomination) £42.00.

The following are on sale elsewhere at a well known auction site at heightened prices due to fees and because of the general eco-system there. The prices below may seem high, but the coins are mostly all high grade. No offers unless you wish to buy multiple items. *Please only comment if you wish to buy* Prices are inclusive of UK postage (Special Delivery) on individual items, so discount may be available if you are buying multiple items. Postage outside the UK will be additional, but only over/above the price of posting within the UK. Any questions please let me know by PM.

Good!

More than people wanted to pay at the last coin cabinet premium auction!! PM me if interested!

Sorry to wade in, but here we have the perfect example of why photography and lighting is so important. A coin can go up in grade depending on the luster!! The image with the light reflecting so beautifully makes the coin feel like it is prooflike and the other image is just a good MS!

This is why you have to bite the bullet and have the coins accurately described on the form. Yes it means you pay more for the grading (especially where there is a 1% additional fee on certain submissions) but you are then properly protected if there are issues. I now overvalue mine on the form. Not massively - just enough to cover replacing, where possible. I had to pay a bit of a bill a while back (argh!!) but it Is all part of the insurance safeguard.

I had a similar experience last year. The box was scanned out of PCGS and then disappeared. They had made an error and used a duplicate label. They were going to pay me the costs of grading and postage to and from and we were about to start discussing the value of the coin when FedEx mailed me to say the coin was in Florida and was being sent to Stansted via Memphis the next day. The coin arrived about two weeks later. I have contact details for the seniors at FedEx and I also spoke with the PCGS President about this because of the value of one of the coins. It was so bizarre that it went missing for three months and then just turned up. The box had not been interfered with at all. It was all good, great even. Such a relief to receive. The only issue for me was that it then took about three further months for them to move this from their stolen database back to the registry. But it was just in time for the awards deadline (as one of the coins was a completer that took me to a registry award!) If you want any details for FedEx or PCGS shout me with a PM as they were all really helpful.
