Nope. personally im not risking sending the down payment on a house half way around the world to get it in a plastic coffin for something I have had since new. 

Received this 1989 Bu 5 Pound Sovereign to join my 3 coin set to form a ‘poor man’s’ 4 coin 1989 set! 
I haven’t bought any Sovereigns for quite some time and re-aquatinting myself with 22 Carat Gold makes me wonder why I had  taken a break. 
I think grading these classic and special year design coins has its place- but these are staying in their presentation cases and going in that drawer in the dresser for safekeeping- you know the one, the one housing the best cutlery, the Irish Linen Napkins and the Elk Horn handled corkscrew. 







 

Tigers are like buses.
I generally don't have any time for privy mark coins, seeing them as just one more exploitative move to extort currency from collectors. As I already owned the Maple Wildlife set, I decided to make an exception;  the six matching privies will combine to make an attractive set of 12.
The pronghorn privy also sprang in this evening.
 
 

You lose one bullion sovereign you send in your invoice for your 1989 proof sovereign
 

My first foray into grading and it was not for coins ! The two older ones belong to my brother but I'm happy with them thanks @Numistacker

Absolutely thrilled...😍 beautiful and extremely rare (only 100 minted In gold). Ive also got the 1oz PF70 silver and MS70 bullion coming.
my sincerest thanks to the absolute gentleman @RegalStacker for parting with these. I fell in love having seen the review by@Numistacker some time ago and had hoped to own the silver one day never mind the gold!
I’ll share photos of the set when back together 

It came back a 69 👍
Very pleased given my expectations were low. Looks like the marks I was worried about were either in the capsule or just blown straight off when NGC slabbed it 😄

Back from grading.

i think the Royal Mint use that for packaging sometimes......they are confusing Quality Control with Quality Coinpusher.

If you have ever opened a box and a load of shredded paper has landed on your carpet, then you too have probably bought from the "shredder"  @Troy77 Sells some lovely stuff tho.
