These beauties...

2 oz Full frosted proof Coronation gold
WOW
Stunning!
 

Got mine to now - glad you got one to @BackyardBullion Looks super lovely in hand.  Hopefully a wise investment for years to come given the 100 mintage
My account manager described it as a "reverse proof" to me over the phone, i wouldn't really call it that myself.  As you say fully frosted or matt 
I wonder what NGC will class them as when graded 

Queen’s Coronation 60th Anniversary 1953-2013 £5 Silver Proof Set Of Four coins.
£195 plus postage of buyers choice
Beautiful Proof Set featuring the classic Obverse Portraits of Her Late Majesty by Mary Gillick, Arnold Machin, Raphael Maklouf & Ian Rank- Broadley.
Reverse featuring a distinguished representation of The Royal Arms engraved by James Butler.

The topic of Grading coins often arises on this forum in one guise or another.  
A couple of years ago, @SilverMike eloquently described the context of Grading at that time, and it continues to stand up-  although I don’t subscribe to all he says.
 

My personal opinion is like it or loathe it, grading is the future for british numismatic coins. We are trailing the US market which is years ahead of us, yes its a bigger market but it doesn't have the depth of history and rarity present in British coinage where some of our coins trace their history back to the global dominating british empire and earlier, everyone knows what a sovereign is globally.
Not that long ago you required experience to establish the grade of a coin and so it’s value vs another coin. Coins were kept loose in beautiful cabinets and handled by experts. This limited the market to a small very small, niche group, numismatists and it controlled the price, arguably holding it back.
Grading rewrites the script. Graded coins can now be and are bought by institutions, big investors, banks, pension funds, etc who have absolutely no idea about what they are buying other than it is a global market that is proven and they can now buy from a menu, where the ‘stock’ has fundamentals that can be analysed so a known and understood entry & exit point can be planned. This I believe is why you see the gulf between a 69 and a 70. It has nothing to do with a tiny mark or hairline on the coin, but investors who have no interest in that side want the best of the best as its the most secure end of the market to diversify their portfolio into. 70’s / the highest possible grade is a market in itself.
this trend for 70’s / highest grade available screaming ahead has rippled and we see it in all types of coins and ranges, not that I think these big investors are buying much outside of rare high grade and desirable sovereigns and very special coins (unas, 3graces and the older patterns) but that doesn't matter, the trend and protocol is set and I think its here to stay and high grade rare and / or desirable ‘safe investment’ coins are on an exponential rise with a long way to go. To get a feel for where I think we are heading just watch the next platinum night at heritage and the US (and world coins, its not only the US) easily making high 5 figure and 6 figure sums. Coins that arent anywhere near as rare or as historically important as a lot of  british coins. But what they all have in common is they are all graded and can be ranked.
as our market grows, confidence builds and the highest grades become extremely expensive I think the lower grades will catch up and there will be a difference between them rather than the current attitude being if its not a 70 or maybe 69 its a failure (or whatever is the highest grade known for a given coin vs its lower graded equivalent)
There are plenty of other markets like this which allows for diverse and secure investment portfolios outside of the traditional stock market.
time will tell, but I think british coin collecting will be a very different place in 10years and high end coins in beautiful old mahogany cabinets will be a thing of the past, sadly.

1887 Victoria Jubilee Specimen Set, Crown to Threepence
Nicely toned set featuring:  Crown, Double Florin, Halfcrown, Florin, Shilling, Sixpence & Threepence 
Seven lovely Victoria currency issued coins.
£265 posted Special Delivery.

Although a sovereign man at heart, this coin is incredible and I think I would call it my best for 2022. The silky satin toning, in very deep blues and purples at the rim of the coin grading across the fields to the soft greys, pinks and gold tinge of the cameo’s, particularly on the Victoria side are very satisfying
 
Happy New Year everyone.

Two Charles I (1625- 1649) coins.  Both with nice full flan. 
The first a lovely example, Scottish Silver Twelve Shillings. Third coinage (1637-42), type III Falconer's first issue, F above crown on reverse, 5.78g, (S.5560).
The second a nice York,  Provincial Civil War issue Shilling, (1643- 44). 5.93g; mm. Lion. Obv. Bust in scalloped lace collar; Rev. with crowned oval shield, ‘EBOR’ below.  S.2874, Brooker: 1094; North: 2319.



 

All looks good, including the obverse frosting....

Received the 2020 2oz and the fractionals today from @Chrisplymto go with my 2020 5oz. Anybody got a spare 1oz so I can complete the set and relax my ocd of not having them all? 

@GoldDiggerDave It's a shame they have started to do this with the orders at the Royal Mint but you have to remember that they are not dealing with just a few customers. We run only a small company who happen to sell these and our bill alone is over £125,000 this is a lot of money changing hands. This also stops people buying just for a quick flip if you think about it, as they are forced to pay and wait rather than selling on and making huge profits and leaving the poor collectors who were not able to buy at the release price  complaining at having to spend  2 x or 3 x the release price to indulge in their collecting habit. 
I think the Royal Mint are under a lot of pressure to be reigning down on flippers after the Platinum Jubilee Issues and the Great Engravers etc maybe this might be their solution. Who knows if it will work? Only time will tell.  I kinda feel they are dammed if they do, and dammed if they don't. (I know this feeling lol)  I don't think the price of gold really matters with these issues as they are already way over gold and the Royal Mint would have purchased the gold way in advance. I've only purchased directly from them a few times as we tend to go to the distributers. I know The Royal Mint get a lot wrong but it's hard to fault this design I love it! I really can't wait to see them!
We have taken most payments now,  and don't usually- but the timing of the release, the increased demand and volume and not knowing how soon they will be issued instigated us to take payments in preparation. 
I heard the Sets might be first, but don't hold me to it I have only emailed the distributer tonight so nothing confirmed. 
Right, back to work much to do...happy moaning guys!  😆
