Wow, that is a monster. Gold always good, but not too excited about the Pope side. BTW, which is the obverse? I assume the coat of arms side....
LOL. It is a beauty in hand. I could not nowadays afford such a coin, even with Corona virus. I actually got this along with an 1863 proof...
Yes indeed.
It definitely is a proof, slabbed as such and gotten from Spink during it's "Grande Olde Dayes".
I really like this one that is a bit toned, but lovely colour. It is also quite rare in proof format for this date.I really love these earlier...
Yes, I like this coin as well. The interesting thing is that it must be the other eight specimens that make the rounds because for many years they...
Are you sure he didn’t mean AU55, the grade I’d give it with cleaning - def. a sell at 55 Euros

Double strike/flipover strike. Graded Proof66 by PCGS.
Should be 22k or .916. The reverse looks good if blurry, the obverse has either a fingerprint or a whipe across cheek and mouth of Lizzy. If...

Here is one of those big ole bad boys....GTG at PCGS...[ATTACH][ATTACH]
Former mint "slave" buyer, now mostly reformed....A definite pass on an uninspired coin that they are trying to salvage with comic "trickeration".
Wow, I really like the 1888, the eagle and surrounding fields are lovely. Admittedly not my series, but very, very nice. Unfortunate stereotype...
Actually these were bullion coins that saw heavy circulation and very few survived. So initial mintage probably does not reflect especially the...
This is a coin that has little respect, nor does its larger sovereign brother although both are rare in higher grades. Gold from the London mint...
Yes indeed, perfectly legal and something to behold. They were ahead of their time and much of the engraving on both these and many others was...
Thanks for posting, there are really so very many. I have to think of what my favorite actually is. Perhaps I will post tomorrow to add.
Which, the 1983 Spanish language or the 1983 8 coin? I have looked, to no avail, for the 1984 8 coin set. The 1985 only came in 8 coin format,...
Separate names with a comma.
