Is EF a considerably higher value than aEF?

In which case, I would agree with your former grade

Ha Ha good question. I honestly don't know. I haven't any recollection of many of these selling prices and I can't be bothered to look

Spink is no use at all for these types. Maybe at some point when/if I want to sell or grade.

Die number run started

Those are beautiful @sg86

Where do you guys get the $$ to collect so many sovereigns?

The really beautiful sovs will be in my trays, I'm only putting a single die number into the trays and the rest into these flips, obviously the best grade goes into the main run!

This coin is a stunner, I have this photo as my phone's lockscreen currently! 

 

 

As I'm sure with others, hiding the addiction from spouses and always being skint is key for me

Pegasus direct from Pobjoy Mint, and thankyou @Kamikaze for the swift postage of the Sovereign that has arrived safe and sound. Also some more caps to fill.

Brave man! I managed to last several years without adding extra die numbers - this control has now failed and I am trying to get as many high grade slabbed versions as possible, I am addicted. I have more than 600 sixpence die numbers left to upgrade, there are many more sovereign die numbers than sixpences!

As a first target you just have to beat the Bentley collection and go down in history

Great piece!

How do we/they know that this is one of the first 75 struck?

By the CoA number?

If so, how do we know that the coins are packaged and CoA'ed in the exact order of strikes?

[NRSovereign]

Bullion pick up 1915 Full a shield back to upload later when the wife brings it home too!

[NRSovereign]

Here is the shield back 1885s full

I'm confident with a lot of time and effort I'll get the die numbers, but the problem will definitely be grade these days. It's not the same as the 80s or 90s, neither is the price!

Last week I received:

Boxed, capsule and COA. HGM £245.75 

[JohnA]

2018 Perth Mint...I'm getting a few more. Maybe they are testing this and the Lunar III will be in this format. Hope.

 

 

[Guest]

This oriental border Britannia arrived and will very soon be given away on my YouTube channel.



Can’t believe how much nice detail there is now in Bullion Britannias.

[JohnA]

@Numistacker ...great. I'll tune in as usual. By the way, what do you think NGC will feel about grading and slabbing the 2018 Perth Mint Bar/Coin?

so you're going for an example of each die number regardless of year or a set of all die numbers for all years?????

The first boat sailed for me years ago I'm afraid but I've actually managed to get a grip with the second recently, not been buying anywhere near as many as before!
