Two beautiful coins today...

a 1911 Proof sovereign, that I won at the tail end of a random auction, hazy and difficult to judge, has come back beautiful, in a very high grade, very special and one of my favourite portraits:

And below is a true rarity, a Henry VIII 1544-47 Half Sovereign in what I think is superb condition considering its age. Doesn’t currently demand the attention of its larger brother of the same era or certainly the Henry VII Sovereign, but this is the first ever half sovereign. My thanks to @richatthecroftfor being a sounding board and supporting me during the purchase of this coin. Ive gone from tears to jubilation, certainty to uncertainty and back again many times and no doubt driven him slightly crazy 😂

Stunning,Mike. What a couple of beauties. The 1911 looks to be immaculate. Well done

A resounding success on the 1911 Sovereign Mike, you’ve very nearly inspired me to send my rather hazy & murky looking 1911 into NGC to be entombed in a plastic coffin 😂

The Henry VIII Half Sovereign is also a resounding success Mike, it’s been such a pleasure helping out with this purchase, I’ve learned such a lot about  Hammered Coins and the Tudor period coinage along the way.  Thanks 👍

I can't stop crying and I do not know if it is because I am so upset by the post today or because it is so laughable that the Royal Mint can screw up this badly...................

A 20 week wait for this.....................

Was this pre graded?

Looking for 1981 and 1983-1984 GOLD Ghanaian coins
