This is why Gillick bullion Sovereigns prove to be difficult to find in higher grades.

I can do without "ROADMAN867" charging back his purchase because despite it showing as "signed for", he HONESTLY never received it. And eBay sides with him. No more.

Had similar but eBay made me whole tbf

Gillicks have become more popular since the sad passing of Her Majesty, though they have always been a sensible pick up for their condition and overall look. The fact there are 10 of them makes them a neat collection!

Grading them? Why not if you have a good 'un? There are folk who are very keen on graded coins and we all know how powerful 'auction fever' can be.

I have a MS66 1957 Sovereign and when I see things like this, I'm happy to hold it.

I picked 10 Gillicks up last September for a decent price..Had chance to buy more but wanted to save a bit of money as I knew that The Memorial Sovereigns were coming out in November and wanted to make sure I  had the funds to get what I wanted when they came out 

8 1968 and 2 1966 Gillicks

That 66 looks like it could make a very good grade. 

What is the cost to get this coin graded?

@GoldDiggerDavePlease excuse my ignorance here, I know know nothing about slabbed coins!
So if you got the mint to send straight to NGC, and the capsule didn’t open in transit 🙄, you would pretty much have to be guaranteed a MS70?

The way its going, RM will introduce that service soon. 

 

Snag is, they will charge you £300 for postage and a nice box 😨
