🤣🤣 Well spotted! I should go back and put it right but it's in the open now. Oh, and your dog too 👈 😁

Fantastic photos, keep on posting them! I'm with James and NGMD, I wouldn't be surprised if the dies are finished by laser. Have a look at the scan I've attached from an 1986 Royal Mint Coin Club Bulletin. It describes how the frosting used to be applied to the dies, historically by Nitric acid etching and then by glass bead shot blasting. 1986-21 Die Polishing.pdf

Yes, it's the 1887 London mint I posted photos of yesterday 🖕
-
Good luck with the grade, I'm considering sending this one off too.
-
Some more 1st legend varieties for the photo collection. First one was a sleeper I found on eBay and is an 1887 London mint, DISH L1. The photo doesn't do the colour justice, it's a very yellow gold. And this one is an 1887 Sydney mint, DISH S1. It's a bit oversize on the diameter at 22.43mm.

I think the marks on the rim are where they poured the brass into the casting mould!
-
I honestly can't tell, just speculating.
-
I couldn't guess true or false based on the current photos, your need clearer detailed ones to judge. I can see some possible damage to the rim in the right one, on its edge adjacent too REX F D. Thought it might be the remains of a jewellers mount but who'd moun"t a coin sideways on?

Any chance of photos of the reverse, especially 1861 and 1862. Thanks

A booklet from Baldwins. I've been managing with the online version for a while but it's always better having a paper copy in hand. @Spyder 👍
-
It could be the angle of the lighting but the number 0 in the date doesn't look quite right. Your coin above, a Perth mint coin below:
-
So would I. I've been on the lookout for a while now, holding a book's a lot better than trying to read an online version. Sovereign Rarities used to have copies of the half sovereign and full sovereign pdf versions that you could download but they've take the link down.
-
Marsh has 2 types listed, one with 132 denticles at R2 and one with 134 denticles at R5.
-
They're are two variants on the obverse for this year, 1st and 2nd legend. You will have dropped lucky if yours is the rare 1st legend. Have a look here for identification and rarity ratings: https://issuu.com/jammdesign/docs/jubilee_brochure

Bargain!

Well done getting the error attribute on the label, it should be worth the effort when you come to sell.

Don't start that talking I could talk all night.... £1590

It could be explained by the strong link by Greece to the sovereign as millions of them were pumped into Greece after the Second World War to prevent economic collapse. There's a great video by the British Numismatic Society here (skip to 17:40 mins for the Greek interest but it's worth listening to the full story):
-
Do you have a link so we can have a look?
-
There are a few different O's or 0's, shapes and sizes. and I honestly don't know which ones match the Marsh entries. Steve Hill tries to explain the differences in the Bentley Collection Auction catalogue here, but I'm not sure which is which still. Got any O's? 😃

Happy new year to all of the silver forum, best wishes for the new year and I hope we break £1800 by the end of 2024! ❤️ Shamon! @HerefordBullyun 😀
