What I am saying is the coin the comes up when checking the PCGS registry (Lawtoad above in this post) is a specimen matte. Yours, sadly, I...
What I am saying is that the coin in the PCGS citation IS a specimen matte unc. coin - the special and rare issue. There may be some minor types...
Neither are the specimen matte type. The PCGS citation above shows one that I would accept. The specimen matte varieties are with and without "ON"...
I wish I remember where it came from, I think either Spink or Baldwin's for not a lot about 10 years ago. The firework on the turtle is really...
Only year for type is 1974. Really good detail for a copper nickel coin also.
The 1938s in unc. slabbed grades still seem to fetch rather a lot though....
Wow, you are not called "Lord" for no reason! It is a certified coin struck with two reverse dies...NGC MS66.

Very nice, I like that one as well. At the Patina sale the gold ones went for barely above bullion!

I just got this coin from Malta, an interesting story in itself. It is struck to matte format, and I have not seen another in 40 years here. To...
Yes indeed. I didn’t start off by other than introducing the coin. The copper nickel version exists in proof as part of the base metal 1984 set...
No, but that would be the same design in the 1983 sets as well - I'd hate to break one up just for the coin, but you could. I bought this coin off...
Some while I posted the 1983 1 Sovereign in proof. I have just located and taken delivery of the 1/2 sovereign of same date today. Also...

Well, it really is about supply and demand. The supply or rarity is very limited; if there is this one, we would have to assume that there might...
I will take a picture this evening as I am at work. Some more information: The Franklin Mint made money on striking proof sets for many...
Yes, well the number is really secondary - however it is PCGS 63PL.
