Yesterday this high quality 2014 bullion sovereign arrived. A few marks but not bad for a few % over spot.
Bought for my niece for her 18th birthday. I might have it conserved and graded.

Thanks Chris @SVcollector for these ten George V sovereigns. 
 
A few interesting mint marks; one 1911 Sydney sovereign, two 1918 Perth sovereigns, three 1927 South African , one 1918 Sydney, one 1913 Sydney. Also two 1911 London sovereigns.

Got this back from Grading !!

Nowhere near as impressive as some of the stunning posts on here recently but this popped through the door to add to my humble stack courtesy of @Shep, great guy to deal with 👍🏻
I have the complete 2oz QB Ag collection but really have no intention of acquiring all the 1/4oz gold versions.....but this is the second QB 1/4oz in my humble stack.
My 1/4oz purchases happen for two simple reasons.....is it the right price point for what it is (in my opinion) and do I like it! That's about as technical as my thought process gets haha 😁
On a separate note I don't suppose someone has a good quality 1/4oz capsule I could buy? Need a home for my 1/4oz lion

Thanks to @SilverMike for providing the opportunity for me to acquire another iconic Sovereign Set, less than a week after my last. 😀 
This time the 1989.😍


 
This NGC graded four coin set compliments my existing three coin 1989 Proof Set and 1989 Brilliant Uncirculated 5 Pound Sovereign👍. 
 


 

Very nice coins but I’m curious why I keep being ‘tagged/mentioned’ in your posts.

Firstly, i've shed a fair bit of Gold weight lately to make way for a very special purchase and I would like to extend thanks to all the forum members who purchased coins from me to make it possible.  You know who you are, and it was very much appreciated 😀 
And secondly, and once again, thank you very much for all the effort, time and patience! That @SilverMike, @Roy & @Elements provided, in terms of helping to guide me into making this fantastic acquisition 👍😃
So, what exactly is in the box? 🤷‍♂️  

 
It needs no introductions...
 



 
And maybe, just maybe that 5 Pound is Ultra Cameo?  The Obverse certainly meets the criteria! 😉

One of my favourites in my collection is this 1988 proof half sovereign that I bought earlier this year at spot price.
With a low mintage of only 7,074.

I thought I’d share this 1853 London mint sovereign that I’ve recently received.
I have read that this date is well known for minting errors.
 

Most likely.
You’ll have seen many more fakes than I have but this is the first I’ve seen where the year isn’t even right.
Dating it 31 years before George V came to the throne is laughable.
I just hope they didn’t pay a lot for it.

I’ve seen a couple of fake sovereigns but I’m posting this as a warning to other forum members.
This is a fake sovereign, you’ve been warned. 😆
I’m glad I didn’t have to break the news to him.
