TheGoldSovereign got a reaction from Muncle in Sovereign Errors, Overdates and Varieties
This thread has been created for anyone with a Sovereign overdate, variation or error etc who would like to ask questions or have them checked out by other forum members.
If you are asking for advice on errors please refrain from posting blurry mobile phone pictures! Ideally attached pictures should be taken with a macro lens, or some kind of handheld microscope that will clearly show the part of coin in question as you can see it, this saves a lot of guess work.
Thanks and happy hunting!

What a lovely day to sort through a new batch of shields. These are in particularly nice grade so excited!

What a coin.... 🤗😍
1853 Proof, nothing much more to say but wow!
I suspect many don't even know this rarity even exists, very very few in existence now.
Pictures (especially from phone) don't do it any justice, so I will do a 4k video at some point so others can enjoy it

1839 Proof Shield - PR63 DCAM
This is a lovely coin, and I believe the rarer alignment from the una set.

25 shields, all 1840s. More worn than other years but at the price paid is to be expected. Few nicer ones though and some different variations.
Haveanother 30 on order so hopefully some rarer overstates etc to come!

@Quicksilver @mr-dead Yes are you checking your coins with a loupe? Both of my unicorns and my beast aren't good enough, they are all going back and i've just written a long winded complaint to say that if they aren't capable of producing true proof coins i'll have my 1.5k back and be done with the series.
Low quality images but still the issues are clear, the one on the Queens head is ridiculous, check your coins and make a stand!
note: the first images are scratches i have a great zeiss loupe!

TheGoldSovereign got a reaction from Arganto in Jubilee Sovereign Bust Types
So I got round to checking another 80 Jubilee sovs that i have and came across no other First bust types other than 1887.
Seems this 1890 one could be pretty rare then, anyone else with Jubilee sovs take a look!
note: i highlighted the different areas for people who who aren't aware

TheGoldSovereign got a reaction from Bigmarc in Jubilee Sovereign Bust Types
Yes of course! They do exist in quite significant amounts in lowers grades, it's the MS coins you want to find!
This series IMHO is underrated for its variety but at the same time I personally find these coins difficult to grade because of the detail, and graders have no idea what they are looking at either so pop reports are a total mess.
DISH has taken large steps in making future grades easier, and I feel PCGS are following it well, NGC as always are clueless as ever and put on their labels whatever the user requests, which is extremely lazy and helps nobody.

TheGoldSovereign got a reaction from Bigmarc in Jubilee Sovereign Bust Types
So Marsh discovered the two bust types, aptly named "First" and "Second" types.
He listed a few from 1887 of both types, with the branch mints being R (Rare). It was left with this quote:
Has anyone come across any later years of the first bust type, or is it assumed they were only in 1887? As i've just stumbled upon a 1890 First bust type, and have quite a lot more to go through today. It means re-arranging my whole run because i did not account for new entries that marsh didn't have!
I'll put up some pics later to confirm, will see if i find anymore first

Following up on above, I hope to get some of my clearer newly discovered varieties added to the reference officially in the coming months so people will easily be able to check their coin against it with high res images. Stay tuned!

TheGoldSovereign got a reaction from dicker in Sovereign Errors, Overdates and Varieties
I agree, it's easy to get bogged down with small irregularities and not call everything an error, I'm personally guilty of this but this is why I've not released any of my finds to my reference until I've found a better way to categorise them. Clear overstrikes and errors only for now.
