Today I Received.....

[Nowhereman]

Today I received a beautiful jubilee sovereign from @Solachesis . At first i thought it was a proposal and for an instant I considered the short term pain against the long term gain of half his stack, but on opening the box there it was, my own bit of gold for a price I was happy to pay.

İt's a surprisingly good conditioned jubilee, compared to the rest I've had! 

You don't want to marry me, I only have aladeens and they are worthless

COTR graded auction wins and half sovs from @ilovesilverireallydo

Look familiar? 🤣

I won the 1/2 and 1/4.

I don't think I actually bid against you.  Most of my wins were uncontested.

Adding to my special reverse sovereign collection, a 2005 PR69DCAM Quintuple and Double.

Yeah I didn't bid on the bigger boys, but at least you know where the smaller one is if you want to complete the set 😆

Today received a few tubes of coins but one tube out the box the stamping at the neck area is marked .

Each coin has the same stamping but next coin this mark drops down slightly etc till it fades out to the base of the neck line.

Quality control at RM 🙄

And, to think, in 1817 the Royal Mint was famous for its legendary quality control.

Oh, wait . . .

I don't know who got the 1oz.  If I remember, bidding quickly jumped up beyond my budget for that one.

Interesting how certain sizes of the same coin have very different popularities.  Full sovereigns and 1ozs seem to be more desired than the others in those sets.  I don't mind, because I really like double sovereigns and half ounces - they are a really nice size.

Gooooooold, from @Spyder

[Nowhereman]

Just got 2 more sovereigns from @Sh97if, a 1958 and a 1963. Beautiful colour on these older sovereigns whereas the newer sovereigns look more like shiny 1 pence pieces to me. Probably why I prefer 999 gold coins but these older sovereigns have definitely turned my head.

They look like gold should look.
