Jordan Lott (our resident coin expert) was live at the auction making bids on Mark’s behalf. The coin has been purchased to add to the Regal Coin Fund which is currently being launched as an addition to the Regal Group and specifically under the banner of Regal Rare Coins Ltd. Jordan Lott (CEO Regal Rare Coins Ltd) says The Regal Coin Fund will be a unique investment opportunity and having this sovereign as part of that fund is an unprecedented coup.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>Yet, oddly</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/mystery-over-closure-flintshire-firm-9701533" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/mystery-over-closure-flintshire-firm-9701533" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/mystery-over-closure-flintshire-firm-9701533</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And at Britain&#039;s Companies House, where the official records of British business are kept.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08450436/filing-history" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08450436/filing-history" rel="nofollow">https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08450436/filing-history</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Regal Rare coins, Director Mark Manning, has been dissolved.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no record I can find easily of a new Regal Rare Coins</p><p><br /></p><p>Regal Pawn Ltd.
