50k  looks positively cheap compared to the Great engraver series.

And according to the Daily Mail the pound coin came out in 1971!🤣🤣

I agree, this coin and its value tell you a great deal about the price of the recent engraver series…..controversial, but probably true.

Better condition than some of the Royal Mint coins they send out 😆

I’m told (by family) that I’m getting a metal detector for my birthday. 😬

I’d be happy with finding a post 1817 sovereign. Let alone a Henry VIII gold sovereign.

But knowing my luck I’ll end up with a load of bottle tops and ring pulls, but at least I’ll get a tan if it isn’t raining.

Every could.... ☁️
