Some Ottoman era coins. Shame about the holes but most found tend to have them. These are from the 1800s. 
20ct roughly. 

From a belly dancer?

1939 Proof Victoria Shield - PR62 (en medaille) - It is believed that the coins stuck in medal alignment match the Una and lion and therefore are from the coronation set.

This coin is undergraded in my opinion, I've got another PR62 that is nowhere near as nice as this, and seen other that are verging on "manky" and still got a PR62. It was obviously graded some time ago due to the old label

 

Thanks for sharing, that is really special!

I know they're all aftermarket modified coins, but I'd quite like to own something like this one day. Nice find!

Take your time- I’ll keep my eye out for your errant ones- ‘96 & 2006 anyone for James- maybe @ilovesilverireallydo has them tucked away?

When spot was much lower I used to mine eBay for at spot or below scrap gold 9ct stuff. I hold it to trade usually as one dealer I work with lets me straight swap gold for gold which works out well when he has nice coins in. 
 

Todays trades were for this lovey die no 7 shield sovereign, low mintage 1959 Sovereign and some nice Edward V11 sov and half sovs. All in all added decent premium for no extra cost.

Would these Sovereigns have gone to melt?

If they don’t sell in a day or two then yes. Refiners are brutal

are those marks on the obverse field? they don't like marks on the fields, seemingly regarding this aspect far more important than any scuffing/wear on the design.

You want to see marks? 🤣

This coin is also PR62, they cannot be the same grade regardless.

These proofs pretty much don't have any wear, if the grading isn't done on the level of marks on the fields then there is nothing to separate PR62 to PR66. From the fair few I've seen the grade is based on how clean the fields are, not clear cut that there is a mark its X grade and cannot be any higher.

Just have a look around PCGS population and their images, at least we know there is no consistency which makes any debate between collectors pointless

Will you try for better grade? Send it to NGC?

Not really fussed, I've still not sent a coin to grade ever! I wouldn't take it out of PCGS slab and put into NGC that's for sure though.

I know the coin is nice and that's why I bought it, that's all I need to know 😍

As you said, our debate is irrelevant. It's a fabulous coin and deserves a better holder, if only to achieve a deserved value when you eventually sell. I think I'd consider breaking it out and re-submitting to pcgs.

Finally managed to get my hands on a 1KG coin! Anyone know if there are other sizes for this coin in 2015? (I can only find the 1KG 10oz and 1oz)

Also can someone recommend in a presentation box for these?

I believe there is a 1/2oz and a coin bar. 1/2 oz is in different finishes. Also think there are several different privy version of 1oz. 
not seen a 2oz for the year which is odd.
