Agree with you there about the field design @morezone as it's a vast improvement.

i used to think the screw capsules from the Royal Mint were the business but i find they come apart too easily and so i have changed my mind.

3 2oz BU S1 Lunar off ebay

[Oldun]

Right at the low end of the ngc graded coins but a decent price so.....

 

[Alymac]

Still 1817 Sov  

getting one this week 

[MickB]

The 1817 sovereign is a must for serious collectors just for the enjoyment of holding history in your hands at least.

2016 Peter Rabbit just hopped in.

More frivolity

 

Is this antique finish done by the Royal Mint or does a third party take the coin and alter it?

It'll be a third party. You can buy the chemicals to do this yourself. I must ask my dad if he's got this in his shed as he makes Tiffany lamps and uses this on the solder to alter the colour. Just rub off the excess. One way of selling on milk spotted coins by treating them with this I suppose.

Been to a antique fair today and bought a 1921 US Morgan Dollar, always wanted one to add to the collection so bought it, he wanted £25 but got him down to £18 so I'm happy with that. I might try and get a peace Dollar next

If you want to add more you can pick them up at sgb for 18 quid but vat after that just over 400 left

The same reason why all my "attached" photos are sideways... The forum has a glitch when uploading from a phone...

1896 full sov 

proof like field or cleaned !? 

Saw this on eBay looked to me like it has a proof like field! (Had to get it) 

check it .. it is genuine

never seen one like it 

please let me know what you think ? 

 

I'm no expert but I have a few sovereigns and this one doesn't look quite right, you sure the size and weight are correct, just good to be sure, wouldn't want someone to get ripped off by an eBay scammer.

Hi @morezone, stunning photos! The coin looks really nice. Is it true that the mintage is only 7,030 pieces?

That's what The Royal Mint have said so that will be the max mintage.

Bought a 10oz maple. Got to say, very very nice in person.

 

[Aaron]

These three beauties were in the mail today. In real, they really do look great! 

[MickB]

Today my 1997 silver maple arrived, well thumbed by the looks of it. Not the tidiest example I've got of this date

My wife surprised me in town today as we passed a stall and bought me this Cayman Island sterling silver $25 coin that weighs just a little over 51 grams.

The seller said he got them cheap as he did have three of them. A nice unexpected addition for my collection

[Chewy636]

I received some good news from NGC today. NGC did give me a detached wing attribution on my 2015 1/2oz gold Proof Libertad.

[Chewy636]

I wonder if this will increase the coins value?
