    I don't have a setup sufficient to adequately reflect the loveliness of this coin, so gone down the detail route. It has a satin glisten to it and the difference between this and say a matte BU £5 is quite considerable to my eye, deeper and more gentle, but impossible to show unless in hand. As far as I know, there haven’t been any matte proofs since 1902 outside of couple of 1911, 1937 and 1953 patterns issued for photography purposes (?) super and @Paul, i HODL 😄

    Sorry, I missed your post while I was writing mine, in answer to your questions:
    1. Yes, Ship to USA
    2. Ha, thats up to you. If you go too low NGC will just adjust your invoice higher if they think you have been a bit too conservative. But do remember that what you decide as the value, is the amount your coin is insured for should the worst happen, even if NGC subsequently see you as been on the wrong side of the assessment and charge you more. I know a lot would just go on the back of what they have paid, but its a personal choice.
    3. No, the images on the census (the ones you find if you look up a coin, in most cases) NGC take anyway. Internet imaging is just another photo service, I've never used any of them but if you had a really nice coin and wanted a nice photo I know they do take a good one.
    4. You can put the description in the "mintmark" box, if you start typing you'll see the font in the box is to big, click out and click back in again and you get two lines in small text. But they do know British coins, its really if you want them to put something specific on like a W&R or a Spink number (but then make sure you tick Variety plus). 
     
    Skip the shipping form if you are picking up, you can talk to them when you call in just to double check if you would be happier.
    Personally yes, I just tick for NGC to sort shipping out.

    However, as a short summary:
    Some boxes are pre-populated for you
    Tick box 3 and box 4, sign under box 5 (I have found I can only part complete online, I do what I can then print it off and fill the rest in by pen)
    Fill in the "UK shipping form" if you want your coins posted back to you or skip it if you are picking them up
    On box 6, tick "ship to NGC USA", the other two I think are used if there are special shows / events in London or Germany, I've never used them anyway
    Box 9, tick either pick up or post back to you
    Box 10, tick where the coin is from, USA, anywhere else (WORLD) or ancient.
    Box 11, decide if you want conservation, if you do pick whichever banding your coins fall into (based on coin value, thats your call)
    Box 12, again decide on your service base don coin value, but there is some options here, the sheet at the end will help you decide (if you give m an example of a coin I'll let you know what I would pick)
    Box 13, if its just straight forward grading you want (no pedigree, first releases, mint error, references on the slab etc) just skip it unless you are sending a thicker coin then you should tick the relevant holder, although I think NGC would just decide for you if you miss it
     Box 14, 15 & 16, probably irrelevant for now, but I think they are fairly self explanatory
    Box 17, just fill. table in as you think, if you mess it up NGC will contact you but give it your best shot. the mintmark column is a bit unclear, in here I just put the Spink reference if I want it on the slab, and also anything else "200th anniversary sovereign" for example or just leave it blank. Indicate wether its Proof (PF) or Bullion (MS). Probably sp the next few columns, fill in the metal type, weight and the value you want to give it.
    Box 18, tot up what you think you owe them. 
    Then take the forms along to NGC and submit your coins. 
    Happy to help though 🙂

    THE BRITISH ROYAL MINT SELECTS STACK’S BOWERS GALLERIES TO SELL HISTORIC ROYAL SUCCESSION BRITANNIA AND SOVEREIGN COINS
    Auction will include the very last bullion coins struck featuring the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the very first coins produced featuring the portrait of King Charles III for each series.
    Costa Mesa, CA – Stack’s Bowers Galleries is honored to announce that they have been selected by The Royal Mint of Great Britain to auction a selection of special Britannia and Sovereign gold and silver bullion coins commemorating the royal transition from Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to His Majesty King Charles III. Entitled the Royal Succession coins series, these historic pieces represent the very last coins struck featuring the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II and the very first coins produced featuring the portrait of King Charles III for each series. Brian Kendrella, president of Stack’s Bowers Galleries commented: “The British Monarchy has always garnered an enthusiastic, worldwide following and it is an honor to assist The Royal Mint in bringing these important coins to a global audience. This remarkable collaboration provides an opportunity for collectors to acquire a tangible and captivating treasure linking pivotal chapters of British and world history.”
    The Sovereign coin series has served as a pillar of global commerce since it was first introduced in 1489 by Henry VII. It is struck using 22 carat gold and comes with a guarantee of accuracy to five decimal places. As a symbol of reliability and strength, it is The Royal Mint’s flagship coin and one of the most trusted bullion coins in the world.
    Nick Bowkett, Head of Bullion Sales at The Royal Mint, said: “The Royal Mint is excited to be working with Stack’s Bowers Galleries to auction this historic bullion series, representing the very last bullion coins struck under the reign of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the very first coins produced bearing His Majesty King Charles III’s portrait.
    “This auction is truly unique and features The Royal Mint’s Sovereign, one of the most trusted and recognizable bullion coins in the world, as well as the Britannia, the most visually secure bullion coin in the world. It holds real significance, capturing a moment in time, and allows astute investors the opportunity to possess a tangible piece of British history. We anticipate the auction will be popular with investors across the world.”
    The effigy of Britannia first appeared on British coins in 1672 during the reign of Charles II, though the eponymous modern bullion coin series was first issued in 1987. It boasts four unrivalled visual security features, which enable collectors and investors to effortlessly authenticate and verify their bullion coins. Due to these anti-counterfeiting features, the Britannia is recognized as the most visually secure bullion coin in the world.
    This unprecedented offering will represent a union of America’s most prestigious and accomplished numismatic auctioneer with the United Kingdom’s oldest continually operating company and the second oldest mint in the world. The Royal Mint was founded over 1,100 years ago, responsible for the coinage of England and, thereafter, the United Kingdom, and has since grown to become the world’s leading export mint, respected for the exceptional quality of their collectible and bullion coinage. Stack’s Bowers Galleries was founded in New York City in 1933 and has built a reputation as America’s leading auctioneer of rare coins over the past century, handling some of the greatest rarities and most valuable collections ever sold. Together, these historic firms are delighted to present these Royal Succession Sovereign and Britannia coins to collectors at auction this summer.
    The special Royal Succession coins will be offered exclusively by Stack’s Bowers Galleries as part of their August 2023 Global Showcase Auction on Monday, August 21, 2023. Featured will be the last 500 struck under Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and first 500 struck featuring His Majesty King Charles III of the 2022 Gold Sovereign, the 2023 Silver 1oz Britannia, and the 2023 Gold Britannia coins, including the 1oz, 1/2oz, 1/4oz, and 1/10oz Gold Britannia sizes.
    Select coins of particular significance will be presented individually in the auction, including the very first and last coins struck of each type. Others will be sold in multi-coin lots that offer a sampling from several of these special types. Each coin will be graded and encapsulated by leading grading service Numismatic Guaranty Company (“NGC”), and all will bear custom labels to recognize their historic significance. The coins of the highest significance will also feature labels with signatures from Queen Elizabeth II’s final Assay Master Graeme Smith, the King’s Assay Master Paul Morgan, and The Royal Mint CEO Anne Jessopp.  The Assay Master role is appointed to serve the reigning monarch and has existed for hundreds of years to ensure the integrity of British coinage.
    This historic joint-effort between Stack’s Bowers Galleries and The Royal Mint comes on the heels of a similarly unprecedented partnership between Stack’s Bowers Galleries and the United States Mint in 2022. On behalf of the United States Mint, Stack’s Bowers Galleries sold special transitional coins from the American Eagle bullion coin series that went on to realize over $4.6 million in total prices realized.
    Over their 90-year history, Stack’s Bowers Galleries has built a successful legacy of offering important collections for institutions and private collectors alike, making them the ideal choice for selling the Royal Succession Britannia and Sovereign coins on behalf of The Royal Mint. In addition to their work with the United State Mint, noteworthy institutional offerings include their famous sales of the Garrett Collection for the Johns Hopkins University, the Massachusetts Historical Society Collection (featuring the collection of President John Quincy Adams), an unprecedented collection of gold coins from the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Research Foundation, a historic offering of Washingtoniana from the Collections of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (featuring the collection of William Spohn Baker), and record-breaking treasures from the Cardinal Collection Educational Foundation. Among private collectors, they were selected to present the legendary holdings of D. Brent Pogue (the most valuable numismatic collection ever sold at over $150 million), John J. Ford, Jr., Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., and Sydney F. Martin.
    Stack’s Bowers Galleries is honored to have been selected by The Royal Mint to auction the Royal Succession Sovereign and Britannia bullion coins and is excited to present them to the collecting community in the August 2023 Global Showcase Auction. For more information about these historic Royal Succession coins or to register for bidding in the auction, please contact Stack’s Bowers Galleries today at Info@StacksBowers.com or 800-566-2580.
