It'll be worth it in the end mate. There's no rush!

And now I have my 5 coin proof set.  The 5-sov is absolutely gorgeous.  Which do I prefer, BU or Proof?  How do I choose?

Off to the graders they go.

 

There's only one winner bud. The proof shows the detail off so well!

Thanks to @LiquidMetalsUK for the ripple kitkat bar and Davy jones, @StBeesSilver for the rum token, 1ozers and 1.5oz no prey no pay round (love it) and finally, @Mrbigah for the 05 half Sovs and a very minty 1918i (if you get more of these just drop me a note, I’ll take them). Thanks very much everyone 👍🏼

Awesome 👹

They are both really stunning, the matt version is my favourite, but they are both super 👹

Think yourself truly lucky, 1200 mintage and those who bought have multiple sets so there's only likely  to be 500-600 people on this planet who will actually own the first KCIII proof £5 sovereign.  

These are truly magnificent in hand.

A cracking coin. Yes, just a tad jealous. Ordered the little brother double today.

Golden Eagle - great coin, in my opinion it's not just proof-like, but also high relief. 

Plus some gold. Kook 1/10 Oz looks much better on photo together with bigger coins, than standalone. Small indeed. I think I have to find a matching intercept capsule.

Got this today from my visit to the NGC, really nice of them……. I will be grading Pokémon cards very soon! 

[GoldDiggerDave]

NGC SUBMISSIONS NEWS! 
 

Anyone wanting the KCIII Memorial sovereigns graded first release now need to submit it with the complete box and COA this will be the case for all the 3 coin sets that still have not been dispatched.

[HillWalkerDundee]

@ak74 the Golden Eagle looks fantastic, who mints them?

[iacabu]

Picked up this 1911 Sov yesterday and my 3 coin memorial set should be arriving today.

Both going to be sold soon.

Agreed, but the sheen of the BU really screams GOLD!

Going to be hard to part with either.

I couldn't find any info, every dealer's page just says that it's the 1st coin in the series, no data on publisher and mint  

Minting quality is super and packaging in good capsule covered with plactic suggests it is the same mint which made Trade dollars restrikes series. Although in that case the exact mint was not disclosed either. It could be Shanghai mint.

Very happy to finally complete my Kenyan set. Never thought it would happen! The biggest coin is 38grams of 22ct. The only large coin that has ever been an official issue.

Sorry, I am not so sure, EuropeanMint basically is just a dealer, despite the name, they do have some "exclusive" coins minted somewhere by their order, but Golden Eagle is not mentioned as such:

It's an LPM "exclusive" coin, no clue who's minting them.

You propably right with the Shanghai Mint. Don't know, if the Trade Dollar restrikes are coming from them too. I don't know why the distributors are always so secretive and don't give any information about the mint of their "exclusive" coins.
