My Pobjoy 1977 full/half were picked up on a FB auction with quite a few people bidding on them. Based on 2 private messages I’ve had previously, both would sell at a tidy profit

Yes, unfortunately, they did go down hill a little from those heady days of the 70s😮😮

A lot of their Bullion coins go for decent money such as the Angel,Britannia,Noble and Pegasus.

i think the IOM angel and noble are nice designs.  the collectables from antartica, pacific islands or similar places with a population of 371, not so much.

 

Shame for the folk losing their jobs.

[SidS]

The noble coins are actually quite nice.

[stefffana]

This sterling silver coin is doing great in my opinion.😊

I am in the fortunate position of owning two of these beauties as my Wife and I are in the top 100 collectors for 2023 the final year of the Pobjoy Mint.

I wonder if I should undercut this character on eBay?

I haven't watched it.

It says corporate dvd on it so I assume they had a load of dvd's knocking about the warehouse so they sent it out to their high rollers rather than put them in a skip.

I believe this to be Pobjoy Mint?

Yes, Pobjoy Mint, Sheffield, 1979.

This is my tribute to the Pobjoy mint Sovereign.

For me it’s one of the more legitimate ‘Other’ sovereigns to be produced - a quality coin on behalf of the I.of M. 
Note that one is made of ‘yellow’ gold compared with the R.M.s ‘red’ gold, but both sporting Arnold Machins obverse portrait. I believe the 1973 is the only sovereign minted that year. Perhaps they will appreciate in value what with the shut down next month.
 

As for ‘other’ Mints & Marketing companies, I will leave that rant for another day - you know the ones I mean, who target the General Public with very expensive alternatives……!
