One thing I’d like to ask Mr Hill is the metrics being used to account for the scarcity ratings of old are still being used today, or are online  population reports, auction sales having and impact on the scarcity ratings.

I know a few Canadian mint mark sovereigns got lowered between the last two issues.

Off the top of my head it was most of the George V Ottawa mint sovereigns, I’m out at the mo I can check later.   Edward VII Ottawa mint are still the much rarer ones as he only lived for 2 years after the mint got into production.

I’ve counted for a third time and defo 134.

Wouldn't know how much it would be worth because it’s the R5.

@GoldDiggerDave would that get designated on a slab?

Not trying to be funny or p***sing on anyone's bonfire, but I think AU55 for your medal allign 1872M is incredibly generous. What's the reverse look like?

The grade means very little to me on this one tbf, the attraction (for me) is in the die alignment and the die clash (which unfortunately NGC chose not to put on the label)

Indeed, it's clearly there.

However, the higher the number on the label the better it is from the market's viewpoint😉
