My Tudor beast's 2 coin set turned up, and the same as @Orpster marks on the queen's neck, plus 3 white spots on the coin. So far that's all 2 coins and set I've received with the Yale of Beaufort gone back.

That is a heirloom for sure. A very special coin. Congrats. The matte is in my opinion the best finish on these sovereign's. Gorgeous!

Another lovely Sixpence.

Anne ‘Pre Union’ Vigo 1703 Sixpence, first bust left with VIGO** below, rev. Plain angles with four strings in harp S.3590 there is a scratch through hair and some hay marking* but nevertheless, it looks a nice example for the collection- practically EF? 
 

* hay marking- entirely normal black streaky flecks in the metal, sometimes called "haymarks," caused by the alloyed silver containing tin, which came in part from Midlands and Welsh mines.

** VIGO- hallmarked to designate it was made from silver captured from the Spanish at Vigo Bay (with which it was mixed, with silver from homeland mines as stated above)

Had my piedfort delivered today. Beautiful coin. Originally I was going to skip this one but it got the better of me last week and I bought one directly from the mint. Turned out to be a great decision. Also had a half sovereign delivered from Atkinson's today that I was waiting for the price to drop on but with the death of the queen I felt the impulse to pick it up that day and keep for my granddaughter.

Many thanks to @Mox for these Mox100 bars. Are looking great on any silver .800 or .900 tray.🤗

You need some MOX250's to go with the 100g, I would say maybe start with half a dozen or so?

I will, for sure.🤗

I need only to:

1. Receive my (*) feedback from you.

2. Receive my next salary. I am broke after holiday and after my daughter's wedding.

To be fair mate, in my mind's eye, I hadn't pegged you as old enough to be a grandad🤷.

[GoldDiggerDave]

This is really bad….these turned up an I forgot I ordered them….a crying shame this is likely to be the last time we see QEII on a Tudor Beast coin. 
 

The microdot fields are sublime, I like these more than the proof coins, especially the reverse frosting effect of the obverse.

These '22 1/4 Brits came this week courtesy of @TavexBullion, to continue my date run (from 2020🤣)

Next is probably '22 1/10s to go with my '21s, and some more '22 Sovs in some guise. 

Plus the Yale small denomination Au and Ag.

That is a gorgeous coin. 😍

It just looks so regal - the last Sovereign of QEII - definitely an heirloom.

How much are these selling for now?

[Orpster]

Pick up today from the jewellers in town,

Sold to them by the family of a chap who had passed away, found in a box in his attic along with some other 1966 stuff, mostly world cup related.  Probably some of the best condition Gillicks I have ever picked up.

😞  Yes, similar issues on mine too... bugger - and the reverse proof looks like it's starting to milk spot as well around the edge... time to decide - replacement or refund? 🤔

Guess I'll give them a chance to send a good set, but if that is flawed, then I think I'll be giving up on Silver Proofs from the Royal Mint 🤷‍♂️

[AaaGee]

Been looking at buying this Sovereign for some time and planned to buy one by the end of the year. But after recent events i thought id pull my finger out and get it before (or incase) prices went up of became harder to get hold of.

Sorry about the c**p pix, my phone isn't the best.

They look great Dave. Where did you buy them from, direct from the Royal Mint?

[GoldDiggerDave]

@Chrisplym got them direct form the mint they are stunning for a bullion product. 

[Chrisplym]

Many thanks Dave 👍. Sorry run out of reactions.

[GoldDiggerDave]

A gem of a Gillick sovereign from @Colnago  these have been so under rated.  A beautiful example. 

[paulmerton]

I'm not normally a fan of quarter sovereigns issued by unusual places, but I couldn't say no to this PF70 graded one for less than the price of a bullion quarter sovereign!
