A video from the Royal Mint just popped up on YouTube.

The chain of ownership of this coin can be traced back to the Victorian era through six, named collectors.

What a beauty !

I'm waiting for an ms70 to show up on fleabay

I think I just saw one.  Hard to tell, the photo was really blurry, although I think I could still make out the WRL stamped on it.  Claims it was a metal-detecting find. 😇

Do you have any sealed mint rolls of these for sale? 😉

Not with me right now. But I’ll stroll down to my local locker this weekend and see what I can find - I’m sure I remember chucking a couple rolls in there.

Or a carded one?

The only cards I have are Christmas cards from Henry VII. Would you be interested in those?

Maybe the madness in the coin market has topped out? 

It’s very possible. At the rate the world is going with the effects of climate change already wreaking havoc, warnings of worse pandemics to come, curbs on freedoms, movement of goods, etc., you wonder if the rich elites who purchase coins like these as investments are refraining from doing so as they don’t see these objects being worth as much in the future in the grand scheme of things.

Of course, in a romantic sense, collectors like us would say these things are invaluable, priceless. Realistically though their true worth lies in how much people are willing to pay.
