Ideally looking for a 70... how much?

Hi. I'm looking for one of these, let me know if anyone has one available.

You're absolutely right (just checked the census report) will have to settle for a 69 then (no further comment!)

Is there any other type...

Evening all... I have a shopping list for PF70 and MS70 Gold Full Sovereigns, must be in NGC holders and looking for the following dates... Proofs - 1979, 1984, 1986, 1990, 1992, 1993 1994 & 2023 Piedfort. Bullion 2017, 2022 & 2023 Double If you can help get in touch ...

£650

Hi... I"m looking to buy a few of these if there are any available? Photo for illustration only! I don't have one to sell I'm looking to buy 😉

Hi. I can do £1,150 if any good, for both.

For me doubles are the best buy. The so called “perceived wisdom” is essentially do what everyone else is doing (buy singles). However the better value purchase is to buy doubles. My view is that doubles will appreciate better over time and I’m not one to buy the current trend, more look for the value proposition for the future. As said by others, you can appreciate the design much more on the doubles also and they generally are much rarer (lower mintage numbers).

I’m looking to source a 1902 Circulation or Matte Proof Double Sovereign. Needs to be graded with NGC as MS or PF 61/2. if you have one for sale please contact me.

I have one available.

Hi Darren. If you can do a reasonable discount on the 5 full Sovs as a package, I may be interested. If so you can email karl@1817.co.uk. Thanks.

Mike. Long time! https://www.1817.co.uk/store/p1998/2021GoldProofHalfSovereign.html#/

Hi. Can you do £200 posted? If so I’ll take two

Hi. I’m looking for a 2015 4th portrait full Sovereign in PF70 UCAM. Anyone looking to sell please get in touch karl@1817.co.uk

£425

I have one in PF70 UCAM but £350 isn’t enough…

These are indeed error coins! They are found in Half, Full, Double and Quintuple types for 2014. The reverses are struck with Proof dies and the obverse Brilliant Uncirculated dies. They are found in single Brilliant Uncirculated presentation boxes and Proof Sets! I addressed these specific error coins with Gordon Summers - Chief Engraver at the Royal Mint and he recalls the issues they had in 2014 with these coins. He was Chief Engraver during this time period.

Agree cleaning is a very difficult area…

Super set of portrait changes. The 1817 looks lovely. 😂

Many thanks. Fakes will be the most difficult to get to grips with I guess as with Sovereigns it comes down to experience and handling to build the knowledge.

Many thanks, I’m not an eBay fan either from a buyer or seller perspective, so likely keep away from the platform. I’m pretty ok with condition and grading so should be ok to spot realistically graded coins. Good offer from the dealer you bought from. I think I’ll get a copy of English Silver Coinage by Bull. I see there is a recent 7th Edition out early this year so likely use that as the reference text.

Yes will do, I’m assuming the same tell tale signs as with gold… I’m guessing harder to spot with silver from a fine lines perspective, as I assume silver doesn’t show cleaning hairlines as much as gold, due to being a harder metal alloy. Also assuming you would need to see nice even toning on silver.

Hi All. Ive been hoping to develop a crown collection for a while and know very little about silver crowns. I think i'm going to look at full crowns and would like to receive recommendations for books that would improve my very basic knowledge of the coins. Recommendations on must read and resource publications would be really appreciated. As would any other advice!
