Hootie looks like my Elvis. Not just the tuxedo, but the attitude (cattitude), too. I had to move him off my phone so I could type this. [ATTACH]
I’ve got images from NGC. No grade yet. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
PS- it does look better, and a little bit more natural, in the second set of photos. So just dipped, maybe- not harshly scrubbed, at least.
Yes, it does look cleaned, though I’ve seen worse. An awful lot of them did get cleaned. For many, this one would fall into “market acceptable”...
I think sovereigns are generally worth slabbing, even if they don’t have much premium over their bullion value. But as World coins, they’ll cost...

Hadrian's my favorite. Lucius Verus is always fun, too- I've only had one of him. The German is sharp!
PMD or not, that's an interesting piece.
This is a good additional point- modern bullion gold coins are probably best kept in their original government packaging (though you didn't...
Well, you won't get rich off it, but that's pretty nice for a circulation find!
Love the patina on that Nerva, and the Elagabalus is sharp. The Tacitus caught my eye, though I don't usually fall for stuff that late,...
Certification is always nice to have with gold coins, whether they be circulated or Mint State. PS- and all the more reason to submit them, if...
