Here is a picture I took earlier this year on a 10p for scale. 😎

Astonishing the detail for the size of it.

Not my style mate I don’t even own a ring.

I like sovereigns but can't bring myself to wear a sovereign ring, don't want to look like Del Boy.  Might get an ex-mount sovereign for a key fob.

Don’t get it graded first that’ll be a bit bulky in the pocket 😁

Only way I would wear sovereigns is half's on cuff-links, that would be quite cool

@James32 uses them for the trolley at Waitrose so I hear

Sovereigns for blazer buttons would be nice. 8 halves and 2/3/8 fulls depending on your blazer. Although you'll need to attach a ring on either side and that destroys it completely as a coin. I could only imagine doing that with very poor ones, Chards' grade C perhaps.

Only proofs though.

Not halfs though, he uses his custom piedfort ones for that.

I've messaged him. Hopefully he can sort something out.

My Gold (and Silver) Sixpence vanity project continues with the 2022 Elizabeth II & 2023 Charles III 22ct Gold issues.  
Beautiful John Bergdahl designs- these to follow on from the 2021 (the inaugural Gold) issues in both 22 & 24ct Gold.  Thanks again to @SilverMike for parting with the 2021’s a while back and introducing me to these sweet little Gold coins.

I hadn't realised until seeing this that the 2021 was available in both 22k and 24k!

Yes- the 2022 issues were also available in both fineness too- but not the inaugural Charles III so I have stuck to the 22ct.

Was just reading through the posts and remembered you’re a Lady sorry for saying “mate” not that you’re not a friend I tend to use mate for a guy 😊

Had my coins back from NGC. I sent in 29 coins,  28 of which obtained the top grade. Spot the lonely PF69!

I'm extremely happy and relieved, I was expecting a few PF70 but not 28 of them 🤣

2015 Gold Proof Fifth Portrait £1 Shield

 

As with the silver proof pound coins, several gold £1 shields can often be extremely hard to track down as they were never issued as individual coins. This 2015 Fifth was only offered within the 8-coin gold proof Circulating Coinage set, mintage just 245.

 

I'd never seen this particular coin offered on its Tod before, so I was a tad delighted to pick it up from the

@CoinsOfTheRealmAuctions auction for spot+ postage.

 

Shame about the mortuary slab.

Nice pickup!!! I’m sorry I started you on this quest 😂 I’ve cost you a fortune pal 😂

Where you get them in trays? Last 3 years I only saw them in the sheets.

Originally from sheets and then move to the trays.   Easy for delivery

This is a fantastic achievement, you must be delighted.

Did you submit them yourself?

Got a lot to catch up on and post here but I’ll start with this lovely 2002 Sovereign from Andrew. @arphethean cheers 😁

 

Who posted it the Royal Mint ? 🤣🤣🤣

Sovereign coin came with the original 2002 carded pack. I don’t stress over it much. It’s just cardboard. The blister packs are nicer in my opinion as the coin isn’t exposed.
 

Yes considering the astronomical premiums you would expect more lavish packaging if one were to purchase directly from the Royal Mint website 🤣

Let’s see if they improve QC in 2024…
