Looks like something Smeagol would drop.

Really, it's stunning

Its a shame you live all the way in the states I was given a load of those coins of mixed dates/monarchs and some are superb condition.

Are Maundy coins of that era rare? And are different demoniations have different rarity? I think there is a 2 and a 4 penny.

1887 Mauny penny and !/2 Penny. I will get the half penny graded. Maybe an AU 58.

A 2013 Proof Britannia which after the 2014 is my personal favourite. I really like the clear fields and unfussy look. Still on the hunt for the elusive 2014....

She looks preggers 

But I like the design too

To get the set or just the coin? 

I am getting them separate. The 2 coin set is very expensive. So the proof of each is cheaper. The proof RFK comes in a box

I ordered

That RFK came in a 2 coin set with Kennedy Half. I'm looking to get that next.

If the 1841 wasn't rare enough, how about an 1863 - 827 on truncation?  ? ?

 

 

 

Could you explain what this means and what I am looking for in the picture? Thanks

 Edit: oh I see...I was looking at the date numbers for overstamping

Well finally arrived today.  It took a couple weeks longer then they expected to ship.  I think there were some casting difficulties.  Heads or Tales 30+ oz silver Britannia statue.  This thing is fantastic!  I love their products.

 

 

 

 

I love this.

That one is beautiful condition, looks like

Thanks to @Numistacker for his contest. => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jL879JVbBY

I was lucky to get chosen, then skillful in that I guessed 2 out of 3 coin grades

The Mermaid i didn't like that much when it first came out and I saw it in videos and pictures of. But in real life it is really pretty. The Korean coin has a great design also.

I will keep them in the shrink wrap with Numi's name sticking out.

I am not collecting lately, that's why I haven't been around. I sold all my collection except my US coins.

1887 sovereigns   I reckon they would maybe get AU 58.  Other opinions on the potential grades? The indiividual photos are of the £5  ... where there are some surface marks / hairlines ? on the Vic side   

   

They look in Mint shape to me.

I had a 1/2 sovereign graded with worse scratches than that and it came MS 61

Got to say the royal mint upped the packaging for this one. Came in a box with all the little foam cushions. Looks great  

 

Snug as a bear in a rug.... ?

Not the greatest condition but OK for me. I want the 1940, 41, 44 now.

This may well be the nicest coin I own, had to get it to match my BU version.

These will be so sort after imho with a mintage of only 750, had to grab this PF70. This is only available in the 5 coin "long set", which were 3300 RRP and have sold for 5300 on ebay already, only a few for sale atm at 6-8k.

 

 

 

 

 

 

That is the awesomest set ever...I am jelly
