Got the new 2018 half sovereign but its going back unless idiots.
I can see specs going through the frosting onto the shiny part of the coin.

OCD and storage.

None of the others I have are in slabs.

Nice set but it'll cost a lot to have them all conserved. You may well have your reasons but is it worth it?

Good question.  I think so, at least for me.  A few reasons:

1.   NCS will most likely only choose to do anything with about half the coins (I'm guessing here, I could be wrong, but in my dealings with them they are honest and aren't looking to stick me with conservation fees for nothing). 

2.  I really like the history behind the coins (Abdication crisis, 1936 was the year of 3 kings ). A short BBC article on George VI here

3.  This is a really nice set.  I've seen others for sale that looked like they've been handled quite a bit.  This one looks like it just sat in a vault for 80 years.

4.  I want to be able to pick them up and enjoy them without worrying that I'm damaging them (so slabbing them makes sense).

5.  Eventually, when I go to sell them (or hand them down to my son), they will be every bit as nice as they are today.

Maybe not the best decision from a strictly financial standpoint, but its worth it to me.  I'll post pics when I get them back from NCS/NGC

Is there a reason why all coins happen to be No.14 on each respective invoice?

i knew someone will ask this question lol

same seller

[metallica73]

1830 Capped Bust Half Dollar - debating whether this is a candidate for Numistacker or not, a slab would add quite a bit of value to it but it might be one where an old cleaning has retoned.

2017 India Sovereign, which arrived with a suprisingly low serial number. I would say the quality is quite a bit better than the 2017 RM bullion.
