What does that refer to ,first legend , I’ve only just started delving in sovereigns . Should it be cleaned?

You can do what you want and to be honest with a bullion coin in that condition I don’t think it matters. If it was better I would maybe consider sending for restoration via PCGS or NGC (I prefer the former as I think the latter has terrible standards for the older coins) and that would tidy it up a bit! It’s a lovely, lovely coin though and I think most people on here know I am obsessed with the Jubilee period, so just enjoy a beautiful coin!!!!

The gap between the G: and the crown is greater and the top of the crown also touches the beading edge 

They sell for over £500 👍

I thought all the 87’s were the first legend? Isn’t it the 88’s that are the rare / scarce ones?

They really are lovely coins. I bought the Au 1/10th Kooks last year from a dealer in Europe, but it's never quite plain sailing I find. There seems to be some confusion with a few couriers re VAT. I see that you are in Romania, did you experience any issues? Pt looks great, I love the kind of matte reverse finish on it.👍

The only issues was the long waiting time, bought them in january from a PM dealers in Poland.  Regarding VAT there was no issues, Romania is part of the single EU market and goods move freely.

Crackers! On the lookout for a single Gold 10th Kook but appear to be a rare find. Beautiful coins 👍🏼

[AgD]

Ask and you shall receive, thought I brought this coin for my daughters box but must have just looked at it (What a bad dad not buying silver for my kids) 2019 year of the pig and a couple more oz's for the stack

Last HP coins (only in cupro as I’m a Potter fan) along with some cracking @StBeesSilver goods, 1/10’s from @Mrbigah an 1877s shield from @Sh97if and a tasty little 1820 half Sov for what I think was a bit of a bargain 👍🏼

The gold privy mark depicts a 1929-31 Perth Mint sovereign.  Something to do with a coin fair, but I really have no idea why that year.

Thanks for the shoutout  Glad you like the coin!
