Gold 1869

[gazer]

I received a 1869 Young Head Sov today, I'm waiting on another 2 shortly, trying to get a  new stack together to go to the few I have left. What do you think it will not set the world record but it's a start. Because of the packaging not able to get the best photos.

What are you paying for shieldbacks from the Mint?

I'm sure you could find them a lot cheaper on here!

Very nice! A great foundation for any stack. 🤑Keep them coming.

Good morning this particular one was £420 includes delivery, you are probably right but sometimes its easier to sell on in the future this type is guarantee with a written by the Mint as very fine. I of course think that you are right, and sometimes I purchase from the forum. And I look around before purchasing. I also don't need to grade which saves me a few quid, so I try and weight up the options.

420 is excessive for this coin.

Hi I agree E/F it's a bit over I'm just trying to get a good collection at the moment. I hoping to keep for a good 5 years. And they will be a lot easier to sell then hopefully.

Cheers gazer.

Well, if you want any other shieldbacks, I've got 2 or 3 in comparable or better condition that I'd let go for a fair bit less.
