closed Empty Royal Mint 2 x Sovereign Case

[gsimpson]

Hello 

Hopefully I'm allowed to post in this section, if not I apologise in advance. 

I'm looking to purchase an empty presentation case that'll hold 2 sovereigns, it'll be used for a wedding gift therefore condition is extremely important. The picture included is one I recently purchased from eBay and getting another identical to this would be fantastic. 

Thanks

I think @danmc82 had something similar?

[danmc82]

I do have a presentation case for 2 full Sovereigns but its not the same as the one your after. Its about half the size and made of Oak 🙂

[gsimpson]

Thanks for the reply @danmc82

Do you have a photo? Is that similar to the ones available from Bullionbypost? I've got one of them, and to be honest was looking for one with the royal mint logo/coat of arms! 

[danmc82]

Yes its pretty much the same as the BBP ones. The coins are located slightly differently though. Could you get a RM sticker for the top, or engrave one yourself 😀

[danmc82]

Theres a case on ebay for £520, you get two free Sovereigns with it though 😄

Getting someone to engrave onto one of these boxes would be a fantastic idea, but unfortunately I don't know of anyone that offers such a service! I suppose Google could assist me here if worst comes to the worst! 

Thanks though great idea

Theres loads for either 1 or 4 and above, but nothing for 2 🤔

Yeah I had a look before posting 😕 the link above is quite tempting but I'm just scared of purchasing gold from ebay if you know what I mean! I could just stack the two sovereigns... All good food for thought! I've plenty time on my side as I don't need it until September 2019

You have Paypal for protection. Buy the set and sell the coins to a dealer, you'll soon find out if they're fake. If they are then return to seller.

I think Chards are giving spot price for Soverigns at the moment.

Maybe @sovereignsteve or @Sovereign may be able to help you out, or know where to get a case from.

Maybe have a chat with @Alun?

Yeah I've seen his work before, very impressive stuff! I just thought it was more bulk work he done? 

[Roy]

Perhaps he'd be open to bespoke?

Won't be cheap, but it would be unique! 😊

edit: specifically the engraving

[danmc82]

Its worth an ask 👍

I do vaguely remember I have an odd 2 coin set somewhere. I'll have to dig the box out and have a look, can't remember if it's for 2 sovereigns or a sovereign and quarter Brit. if the latter it should fit 2 sovs.

The only box I do for sovereigns holds x48 . Would make a great wedding gift from someone very generous 😆😆

Thanks, but 2 is a push never mind 48!

LOL good question. I suppose as most of my sovereigns are in storage, they could have been nicked already and I wouldn't know yet.

@gsimpsonAnyway, according to my records, I have one of these:

I suppose I could live without it if we could come to an arrangement about the box. maybe I could send the coins for grading and flog them.
