Today I Received.....

I agree. Im not too bothered about the colour. Also RM QC jokes aside, a nice fresh, clean and untouched sovereign is a treat to own.

If I could only steer myself away from the Young Vic sovs.....

So I can safely fondle coins…….

She's out of your league.  Not to mention 200-odd years old.

Either you have a kinky side involving Bully, or you've enough to last a lifetime.

I like them too. It came across sarcy but that wasn't my intention. 

I have been selling something else to justify (in my mind) buying some more Sovereigns. 

My hit list (and you have recommended them before) is a 2002, 2005 and 2012 if I can find nice bullion ones. Also a nice 1974 Machin as I am selling some marvel comics from that era and want to make their sacrifice into a mini investment. 

 

I love the special reverse coins -  the modern colour is all part of their character 🌞

No, you can't reuse them, but we could..wait what?

I like the eye appeal on this 1670 Cob 1 Real Potosi Bolivia Dated King Charles II Assayer E Double Struck I recently purchased. At an elevation of more than 4,000 meters (13,000 feet) in the Bolivian Andes, Potosí is one of the highest cities in the world. Higher yet is the adjacent Cerro Rico (Spanish for “rich mountain”) rumored to be made of silver. Now one of the largest silver mines in Bolivia, and in the world, the Cerro Rico de Potosí mine to date has yielded an estimated 60,000 tons of silver, and deposits are thought to still contain estimated reserves of 1.76 billion ounces (50,000 tons) of silver.

Thank you. I have just secured one from a forum member actually which is good. I'm waiting for a mini dip or something before I go for the 2005, 

The 2002 are a premium tho. 

Then it's the 1974

All tips appreciated 

Dave

That grubby gruff arrived. You just wonder what people get up to with their modern proof coins. 😂

Only bought to go with its brother! 

Currently £20 under spot of what I paid now, so that's a bit of a bonus I suppose. I guess it's only really a scrap coin anyway. 😅

Is that the one from the jewellery place?

EST 1897, H&T, H&T Asset Finance, H&T Finance, H&T Jewellery, H&T Money, H&T Pawnbrokers, handt.co.uk, www.handtloans.co.uk and Harvey & Thompson Limited are trading names of Harvey & Thompson Limited.

The UK's Leading Pawnbroker
Established 1897
We have been serving communities since 1897 and we are the leading pawnbroker in the UK with over 270+ shops.

They were featured in a YouTube Video about 2 months ago with a clickbait image "HIGHWAY ROBBERY", and title or description "H and T Pawnbrokers tried to rip me off with my gold sovereign's (sic) and coins".

They offered him £240 each for bullion sovereigns which he told them he bought from Atkinsons in Blackpool. This represented just under 55% of intrinsic at the time.

This probably helps to explain how they (H&T) have grown to operate 270 shops.

The YouTuber posts as "Smoggy34 in Scotland".

His video has now had over 31,000 views.

Just received from @BackyardBullion 👍

[Aldebaran]

Thank you to @Adamcahn for these two - including another monkey from 2016 - The Chinese Zodiac 🐵🐵

The details are amazing 👏

[Petra]

Another small one for the collection 🤔 thanks to @Belmont 

[sterich]

Decided not to buy the great engravers Waterloo coin because the G&D I bought milked after the cut off date to send back. Decided to buy these from adamcahn instead.Cost more, but I feel like it’s money better spent Also a much better experience than buying from the RM
