Latest ATB and a disappointingly beaten up 2018 1/4 oz Libertad.

I wonder if it might be exchanged?

I have bought 5x 1oz Gold Coin, The Griffin - Queens Beast for cash from @Gordon

Already purchased 1oz Gold Lion of England via eBay and have purchased the remainder of @Gordon 1 oz Queens Beasts coins no longer able to complete the collection. Just say thank you Gordon for all your help and pleasant sale.

Not going to divulge amount of money paid for them but sitting £20 notes exchanged for all five.

I need 5x of the following

1 oz gold QUEEN'S BEAST 2016 LION OF ENGLAND

1 oz gold QUEEN'S BEAST 2017 RED DRAGON

Anyone willing sell their 1oz Gold Lions/Red Dragons reasonable premium let me know. Thanks.

Gold Stacks Growing Nicely @Abyss

Been trying to figure out the best way to store my crown sized coins. Storing in tubes causes rim damage, stacking them in a box in capsules wasn’t attractive, and coin display suitcases are too bulky.

thanks to a few forum members I managed to get hold of Panda Coin Trays (still looking for more so let me know if you have any cheap!) 

Decided to try them and I must admit I love them. They stack, they are light and you can see the coins both sides. And fit well in safety deposit boxes.

I've been naughty and brought the last 2 sovereigns for my modern specials collection...

(as always, sorry for poor photos!)

1989 Full Proof Sovereign

2012 Full Proof Sovereign

 

Its been expensive but its now done and I can sit and enjoy them... no wait, I need to send them off to @Numistacker for conservation and grading so I wont see them for a while (thats why they are in flips) 

[Blockhead]

Apologies for the poor phorograph

Are those the silver 15 gram - 20 pound George and the dragon coins or is that a different one?

Old British currency - sterling silver crowns by the looks of it.  At 28 grams, bigger than the new 999 silver £20 coins.

Quite a few varieties.  Later ones were 0.500 silver - https://en.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?mode=avance&p=1&l=&r=&e=royaume-uni&d=&ca=3&no=&i=&v=1+crown&m=silver&a=&t=&dg=&w=&u=&f=&g=&tb=y&tc=y&tn=y&tp=y&tt=y&te=y&cat=y

@Goldhooked is right  

old British crowns 92.5% silver

These are the 50% ones:

Did a quick search on ebay, hard to find, and not sure what they should be worth..

[watchesandwhisky]

close to spot in worn condition, very high grades can be worth hundreds each and the best examples of rare years probably thousands.

On eBay even worn ones often go for way over spot.  There are so many people watching for them to be listed.

Just had a look at a few recent sold listings - some very worn 925 versions sold for £13+ where spot value is currently around £9.40.  Plenty of good examples going for £20+.  Even the 1935 "rocking horse" 0.500 crown often goes for £20+ where spot value is currently around £5.

The 50% rarely sell less than twice spot value. Always in high demand.
