2022 Proof Sov or 2019 Alderney Una 3 coin Sovereign set (full, half & quarter)

[TheShinyStuff]

As per the title. I was out today and saw the Alderney set tucked at the back of a jewellers window display at a price that means I could (roughy) sell my proof sov, pocket 50 quid and have the 3 coin Alderney Una set (full, half, quarter) Much as I love my sovereign, the set is gorgeous and I'm a wee bit tempted.

Any and all opinions welcome...

Not a great shot, but this is the set.

@TheShinyStuff The three coin set sold in The Coin Cabinet Auction 37 last April or May for £1050. And the list price for the two coin set from Hatton’s was £1299. I have the full sovereign coin and it’s a nice coin, portrait excepted (and it’s a yellow proof sovereign).

I had a quick look earlier and they appear to have gone for anywhere between £700 and £1200  - that's a fair old spread! I agree that as with all Alderney coins the portrait is a huge problem, its really poor, but as you said, they are 24k, lovely reverse. Unfortunately I'm not in a position just now to buy unless I sell, so I'll have a long old think about it.
