The 2015 Piedfort Silver Last Royal Arms £1

The current popular Royal Arms design used on the Royal Mint's bullion coinage was first seen in 2015 along with the 5th Portrait of HM.

As a Piedfort, "The Chunky Arms", a somewhat unsavoury spit 'n' sawdust hostelry in Windsor,  had a mintage of 2,000 as compared to 3,500 for its skinnier brother.

I bought my very first piece of gold from ATS and a lot more after the first one, always had a good experience especially if you go there is person and you are lucky enough to be served by the young blonde lady, It was very hard for me to maintain eye contact with her as I was distracted by her incredibly large breasts 😅

600+ QEII Gold Sovereigns

Just after we started putting some into bags.

When we received these, they were almost all junked together in one bag, so almost all have slight scratches and bagmarks. Sad really!

I did order 2001 silver Buffalo NGC 69 from MA Shops. This is what i got. I guess it is close enough, or even bit over.

Does that mean they will be offered up at a reduced price?

Ok so they're only bullion but why bang them all together like that😵😵😵😭😭😭

Yes, they are already on sale as "secondary market bullion -our choice" which we sell at a lower premium than "minty".

I didn't speak to the seller, but it is possible he received most of them like that, or he might have unpacked them to save space in a safe; we see all sorts of stuff like that.

Some years ago, we bought back a large quantity of sovereigns which we had previously supplied. Originally we had advised the investor to stick to secondary market our choice, which is our lowest priced category, and he did buy a lot of those, but also paid extra for one or two recent dates, in quantity, some in sheets. When we got the coins back, all were loose and scuffed. He had let the kids play with them!

clarification

[Tattoedamat]

I am sure it would be amazing if coins could tell their story during their lifetime especially the older sovereigns

Interestingly, when we were checking them, one of our staff noticed some differences in the milled edges, and drew may attention to them, so I asked for photos:

Unfortunately, I forgot to ask Doug to also photograph at least one each of the individual dates. Normally he is so switched on, he would probably have done that automatically, but...

...he is coming back in tomorrow to do just that.

More to follow...

The bottom coin, the third from bottom, and the second from the top, look to be thicker than the rest!  Are they all the same year?  If so, which year??
