A recently acquired 1916 Perth Mint Sovereign. Generally problem free and in my opinion, a nice example.
The photos aren’t the best having been taken in fading daylight.
I’ve noticed that 1916 sovereigns are a date that are rarely discussed on the forum and seldom comes up for sale. The 1916 Perth Mint sovereign is rated as scarce by Marsh, despite a healthy mintage of over 4 million, many have no doubt met the melting pot.

FullSizeRender.MOV Notable events of 1916 were:
January 1st 1916 - The British Royal Army Medical Corps carries out the first successful blood transfusion, using blood that had been stored and cooled.
April 1916 - The toggle light switch is invented by William J. Newton and Morris Goldberg.
April 24th-30th 1916 – The Easter Rising occurs in Ireland. Members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood proclaim an Irish Republic, and the Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army occupy the General Post Office and other buildings in Dublin, before surrendering to the British Army.
July 1st- November 18th 1916 – WWI: Battle of the Somme, opening with explosion of the British Y Sap and Lochnagar mines and the Battle of Albert: More than one million soldiers die, with 57,470 British Empire casualties on the first day, 19,240 of them killed, the British Army's bloodiest day.
July 1st-12th 1916 – Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916: At least one shark attacks 5 swimmers along 80 miles (130 km) of New Jersey coastline, resulting in 4 deaths and the survival of one youth. This event is the inspiration for author Peter Benchley, over half a century later, to write Jaws.
August 27th 1916 – WWI: The Kingdom of Romania declares war on the Central Powers, entering the war on the side of the Allies.
August 28th 1916 - WWI:
Germany declares war on Romania.
Italy declares war on Germany.
September 11th 1916 – A mechanical failure causes the central span of the Quebec Bridge, a cantilever-type structure, to crash into the Saint Lawrence River for the second time, killing 13 workers.
September 13th 1916 – Mary, a circus elephant, is hanged in the town of Erwin, Tennessee, USA for killing her handler, Walter "Red" Eldridge.
November 21st 1916 - WWI: Hospital ship HMHS Britannic, designed as the third Olympic-classocean liner for White Star Line, sinks in the Kea Channel of the Aegean Sea after hitting a mine; 30 lives are lost. At 48,158 gross register tons, she is the largest ship lost during the war. The sister ship of Olympic and Titanic.
December 18th 1916 - WWI: The Battle of Verdunends in France with German troops defeated.
December 31st 1916 – The Hampton Terrace Hotelin North Augusta, South Carolina, one of the largest and most luxurious hotels in the United States at the time, burns to the ground.
(Above information of dates taken from Wikipedia, some details might not be 100% accurate)
However it gives an idea of what was going on at the time. Try it next time you buy a historical coin, you might be surprised what you learn.


 
Then sometime in all of the turmoil of 1916, this sovereign was minted.

Received the third coin in the series.

For those following me, I'll be getting these in. Not sure I'll do a post here though. Stay tuned. 
 

If anyone wants a king henry 2oz silver at £RRP let me know. 
Yes Barry RRP👀
Sold thanks

....I don’t believe in selling it for what I bought it for because then it’s not an investment...
That's because they aren't an investment - at best they are a speculation.
Historically RM silver proof coins are overpriced and drop in value from the moment they are purchased. Anyone who has spent five minutes looking on Ebay (other auction sites are available) can see that.
I would hazard that 80% of proof product from the RM eventually get re-sold at a loss. The few exceptions are low mintage popular coins that sell-out quickly - and even then, prices tend to stabilise after the initial frenzy.
All you can do is hope that the series takes off around issue 6 or 7 creating a demand. Selling at exactly the right time is the key.
 

Got my coins back from NGC  

That will do nicely...

Thank you to @Dazzlinhand @Mrbigah for the 1/10 and half
 

Today I received this absolutely gorgeous 1863 Shield Sovereign from @richatthecroft. Even nicer in person. Thanks!!

Today I received a nice pair of 20 Franc coins for my LMU collection. The 1830s and 40s in general are scarce years, so I was thrilled to be able to complete this year/mint pair.
1842-W (Lille) - mintage of 21,600
1842-A (Paris) - mintage of 70,666
Unbelievably low total mintage of 20 Franc coins for the year 1842 of under 100,000 pieces.
