Sovereign Grading?

[KevjustKev]

I'm not one for grading, much more of a stacker, yet.

I have noticed the a very small number or Gillick head sov's are above MS 65. Of course it's unlikely I have one. There are quite a few that are MS 64 and 65, still not many. It seems you can pick up a 1925 more easy than a 58-68, at MS65/66.

Is it worth grading a Gillick head as the population is low, if so how much more could they sell for verses the cost of the grading?

Over to you.

Personally, I would not grade.

It may be worth it if you have an especially nice example but really would have to be in top condition.

Lots of Gillicks are in fantastic condition on one side but with marks on the other, which is a big deal if you are a grader.

Don't forget many 1925's were actually post war issue using the 25 dies.

If someone was setting out to make a collection (If I was starting again) I would go for all of the Gillicks in high grades.  

With some careful buying and swapping out, it should not be too tricky to obtain all of the bullion Gillicks in pretty decent MS grades.

Yep, see now reason why not. The only one I wish to have now is a 1962. Multi 58's 66'68's but not one 62.

If you are looking for a 62, you might have to go outside the forum. They rarely come up on here and are the toughest of the gillicks to find at a sensible price.

No idea why, there were 3,000,000 minted

We have all Gillick years available, all will grade well into MS. Not a problem coin for us.

Up for a swap?

I'm tempted to get my 95th sotd sov graded but doubtful it's worth it due to ngc only having 1 ms70 just not sure it's worth the punt as not sure what it's final value would be

A 58 and a fiver for a 62? Sorry, should have said 6 quid.

Mine got an MS70 but its gone back to NGC because they didn't label it as Struck on the day.
