@MickB ...thanks. I just ordered a 30th Ann..

The Cand. Mint used to have a bad reputation for tarnishing.

@MickB how do your maples hold up?

Mine tarnished bad, even the 2012 Titanic privy that I was hoping to cash in on.

Just had a closer inspection of mine and the Queens side appears to have a yellowish tone. Didn't notice it at first and it doesn't clean off either.

Also my Perth Mint kangaroo 1oz silver bars appear to have the same that I bought a while back. Need to catch it in a certain light to see it. At least they're not proofs 

They have a nice idea to appeal to stackers and numismatists both. I hope they do Lunar III series this way. If they can improve the finish.

My Australian silver dragon coin bars arrived today. Nice artwork on the rear although my photo doesn't do it justice. Think I'll pick up a few more of these.

I have one...I'm not that impressed with the QA. Mine has a slight flaw on the rim Queen side, not a big deal but I heard other problems. The finish on the Queen side is lackluster too. The Dragon side much better. Hopefully they will improve production.

Arrived two days ago but I have had manflu, the wife said "blimey you must be ill, you haven't opened your gold"

1987 proof half sov from Atkinsons.

I love that. It would be more interesting to collect Sovereigns if they had new designs every year or every other year. I have one 1887. But I am collecting proof Britannias. Silver though. I might pick up some fractional gold if I have extra money. I think there are a few different designs in Sovereigns in some special yers.

@Sovsaver nice condition. A lot of detail

@Numistacker ...great. I'll tune in as usual. By the way, what do you think NGC will feel about grading and slabbing the 2018 Perth Mint Bar/Coin?

2018 Perth Mint...I'm getting a few more. Maybe they are testing this and the Lunar III will be in this format. Hope.

Those are beautiful @sg86

Where do you guys get the $$ to collect so many sovereigns?

Collecting 1888?

Why 1887 though?

First year of Sherlock Holmes, for me

It's a nice set to collect, my first half sov was the 1887, I then had to get the 1887 full sov, and then I thought to myself I have to get the rest now lol. They are nothing special or high grade just circulated ones really but I'm happy with them. Please do! I will be looking forward to it  

I found pictures of the larger coins before grading. The Anacs will be put in a NGC holder. The 1/2 Sov is still with Numi but he sent a pic. I show before and after. I am thrilled with MS 61

@Micky9776I have an 1887 collection too. The larger denominations are with @Numistacker for grading. Only have a 1/2 sov not full though. Got a MS 61. I will post a video of my entire 1887's next month when i get those back.

Your photography is 10/10

Still looks MS grade

Are Pandas prone to tarnish? I had a 2012 in a slab that tarnished over a year.I hope that's the exception.

Thank you mate

I didn't know you had a channel...subbed

 I didn't want to make a new post so I'll ask here. When are the next Queen's Beast coming? And will it be The Black Bull of Clarence?

@Numistacker "Tonight I picked up"

It didn't happen without a video
