1844 Crown now just waiting on my 1937 crown to arrive and then the set of circulating crowns from 1800 is complete! (thank god the Gothic crown was a non-circulating coin!)
With a mintage of just 94,200 this is the scarcest date of the young head shield crowns (non-proof). The reverse shield design is remarkably similar to that used on the half crown but is slightly narrower.
The inescutcheon featured on coinage by William IV and George IV in the middle of the coat of arms was removed and instead the shield stood bare. This was because Victoria, by virtue of her being a woman, was unable to become Elector of Hanover so the inescutcheon had to dissapear from the coins
Despite being pretty worn and dented on the obverse, the reverse shield has a beautiful rainbow toning to it but as usual the camera struggles to do it justice.

Received these today, one is slightly bigger than the other one 😆
£5 sovereign sold to me by @InvestInCoins888 and the little Libertad by @Jamesd .
Thank you both  🙏 

I’ve been buying in 2 or 3kg a time range for the last few months and never waited more than a week.
Put in an order for 8 and it’s been 3 and a half weeks without dispatch... Boo!

The only issue I see with Platinum in particular though is how undervalued it is. It was already very undervalued before the recent dip, in my humble opinion. Now it just looks ridiculously cheap, a fantastic investment opportunity. Not often you get an opportunity to make big short term gains with PM, I believe this is one!
We just have to hope prices haven’t gone up significantly before mints begin to catch up with production. 

Beautiful condition!

That’s a counterfeit egg! 

It looks real to me but I'll do a specific gravity test.

Need grab rest of my queen's beasts first

So glad you love it too! Definitely one of the nicest sets I’ve ever been lucky enough to buy... Makes me feel warm and fuzzy that it’s gone to a collector who will give it the love & respect it deserves 😉

Shows the dramatic rise when you notice such a significant growth in price with a relatively small weight coin! When you think about the value £600 savings would have lost by simply sitting in the bank since November... Hindsight, wonderful thing. 

Was after one of these bad boys for a while. 2020 double sov BU first year of issue 
thank you @1stsovereign

Thank you @InvestInCoins888 for this wonderful Isle of Man Proof Sovereign set and also, for helping me out by not only the offer of a lower price, but also holding it until I got funds together to pay for it. 
The little free gift sent with the set was a nice surprise 😄
Also, thanks to the Forum members who bought and are currently looking after the items I sacrificed from my collection to secure the set.  Hope you all enjoy your purchases, for now, I’ll be pestering you all in due course, for them back 😉
I very much appreciated the advice taken from a Forum member I have much respect of prior to making the purchase: ‘Rich,  the Reverse is a little bit Marmite’. But who could deny that the Machin Obverse is an enduring classic.
What I like about this particular set is its completeness- Sovereigns untouched and sealed in the presentation case, COA, original invoice for £388.50! and even the little waxed envelope the Jeweler supplied it in!
Anyway, enough waffle, here’s the lovely 46 year old set.











 

Received today from @InvestInCoins888, 2013 Double Sovereign and a free gift (yay!). 

Today I received this beautiful set of 1973 Isle of Man sovereign, thank you @InvestInCoins888 ,  I always wanted to have a Isle of Man sovereign, now I have four of them all in different sizes 😍
My favourite is the Quintuple sovereign 💕💕
