3 Grace's from the EIC

[CollectorNo1]

Hi

Just seen this and wanted to put it out there...what's your views compared to the RM version?

1817 of the EIC released world wide..

Has this been released already or upcoming?

[CollectorNo1]

It's on the Westminster coins website today....

We didn't need one copy diluting the market for these let alone how many there have been. I guess its to be expected that other mints will try to hop on the band wagon of something that has been successful but I'd personally be happy to see this stop already. Its unnecessary.

It depends which coin it is. I bought the pattern silver 3 graces.  I liked what they did with it by trying to make it as close as possible to the original pattern pice.

it’s un milled and has the denomination of a crown and has the same silver content.  Will it be massive popular? I’d say no, but I bought it because I like it,  not keen on the EIC tattoo on many of their coins.   
 

the EIC are worth keeping an eye on, some of their coins don’t hit the mark some are total gems 2021 double sovereign for one IMO is a cracker of a coin and closer to the original sovereign  reverse than the 1989 sov. 

cheers 

BTW what’s it selling for?

I agree I'm not keen on the EIC mark..I've only bought one coin from them...the Queen's 95th birthday sovereign because it was a low mintage of I think 775 and had the original Mary Gillick design on the obverse... although was a bit expensive..🙄

[GoldDiggerDave]

@CollectorNo1 The Gillick Sovereign would have been perfect if the reverse was more traditional.  Like the 2021 double sov the reverse is stunning, the obverse not so good.  I think sooner or later they will nail mega coin.  Possibly a shield back using JBM original shield paired with the Gillick portrait perhaps. I like that they try different things.

Agree the 2021 double sovereign is stunning, but a bit pricey.  By the way, may i know when it was launched?
