  1. I think it’s important to pronounce foreign names correctly so I’ll try to remember that he’s a CHEE and not a KEY. Piedfort (P-A-4) and pie fort spring to mind. Sorry to see the state of the coin you received by the way.
  2. I have a 1989 proof double sovereign graded by NGC as PF70 Ultra Cameo but that’s worth £1,800 in the current market. They were fetching around £2K on FB before the market dipped ahead of last winter. No particular rush to sell it but available at the correct price.
  3. @AdminSupport Are you able to tidy up this old thread from Jan 2023 please? It seems to have been accidentally hijacked today by a member going off topic on a separate agenda about his own coin. I initially thought Lawrence Chard was back again until I realised the dates of the earlier comments.
  4. Nice very detailed photos Dave. A picture paints a thousand words but your video does all the talking (even though it’s silent). Nice to see the coin broken out of the capsule. Well done.
  5. I haven’t got a George V so I’d like to buy your 1911 full sovereign please, providing you accept Bank Transfer. RM Special delivery to be added to your cost. Please PM me thanks.
  6. Just catching up with this thread and I sadly have to agree with the above comments. Think about it, why should the RM pay staff, temps or anyone for Quality Control when the customers do it for free?

    NGC Grading

    I don’t have any Piedfort coins to grade but I would imagine that a nice chunky Piedfort might look undistinguished in a slab. I think I’d appreciate its thickness better in a capsule rather than a slab. It would also irritate me when the NGC label states “Piefort” rather than the original “Piedfort” french translation for heavy foot, or heavy weight when it comes to coins. Nothing to do with pies whatsoever.
  8. So those charts use candles? 3 candles I could understand, maybe even 5. But they’re so open to misinterpretation when there’s 4.
  9. £ 2,425 when released by the RM @James32. That’s a bargain price for the raw coin. Daylight robbery for a PR70. Well done!
  10. Cheers @cliveb13. I’ve been watching the £5 1989 sov for ages on Karl’s website (Mr 1817). The reason being that I want to get a rough idea what my own is worth. My own 1989 long set was submitted for conservation and grading to NCS/NGC through Dave’s service last year and only the full £1 sov failed to achieve PF70 UC. That coin has recently been moved on (in response to Touvex’s wanted PF69 post) but the top grades £5, £2 and half are still with me on hold. A weird market as you say, but hopefully not the new normal for much longer. I agree - we’ll see. Enjoy your big Platinum Jubilee gold coin when it arrives.
  11. Congratulations Clive. A good purchase at a bargain price. My own is in the same FR label slab, albeit at the wrong side of £3K. You did well.
  12. Not too long ago some NGC PF70s £2 versions were being snapped up for £2K. Surely the gold price will push the price of key year editions back up in the not too distant future. I’m holding my own one for the time being.
  13. The only thing I could add to the above comments is that having done lots of “spot the difference” cartoons mostly in my childhood, I couldn’t resist the urge to compare the barcodes between the NGC/PCGS photos and the slab as well. Just don’t sneeze when you’ve almost finished.
  14. Orpster is right. If you can afford precious metals then you can afford the price for peace of mind.
