And mints?

As a discipline I may keep it to London Mint, as that's all I have so far anyway. Otherwise it turns into a bit of a rabbit hole. Mints, Die numbers, where does it end.

But you know if a lovely branch mint deal presents itself then who knows.

Im trying to keep my Half Sov collection to London Mint else im going to get caught up in that hole aswel, for me I am going for high graded coins but the Mrs has managed to get pregnant somehow so maybe I will have to slow down

[Roy]

Well, that was careless of her! (congrats )

And just as the gold price falls...

Poor postman 

You said it, my letter box is 120ft from the pavement. He always looks pained.

what is it with this sudden upsurge in half sovereign collectors?

not so long ago I was saying that not many people collect them, certainly compared to fulls.

Perhaps I'll sell all mine, I was thinking my eyes are getting too old to fully appreciate them

Thats all I collect Steve, have been doing for a while now since I got my 1902 Matte Half a year or so ago, I can buy graded Halves & still have a selection of coins whereas if it was full sovs graded I wouldn't have as much.

[JunkBond]

Same here, strictly halves to enable myself to have a decent size collection for sensible money.

Sticking to not spending more than a full on a half at present.

Have you seen what some people want for an early young head Roy.

[Roy]

I need to reassess my 'stack' 

When did full shields begin to command £350+?

I only follow this forum so am blinkered.

[JunkBond]

@Roy Some dealers want £600+ for AUNC halves and I don't mean rare ones!

[Roy]

I believe you.

But why? When? What happened?

A sudden national interest in gold?

Interesting ?

I have. I do need some new ones though I must admit. Perhaps when I get them, my halves will seem like fulls and the world will be good again!

[JunkBond]

I can barely see my halves @sovereignsteve, but I know they are there.

He is trying to say he only like big ones and he doesn’t mind “ the look “ 

 

[PEAL87]

Pretty excited about these... 3 X 5oz "Pucks" from Swiss of America. Properly chunky vintage pieces. You can see how big they are compared to a 1oz monarch!

There are no new moves, the old ones are the best
