Will Spink own the copyright now @Shaun ? Is that how they operate?
Probably, like a virus! I honestly don't know I guess we'll get some info on their involvement from the book when we get it in hand

THis head used to be my least favourite but I think that's because prime examples are difficult to obtain. I can really appreciate a top class coin now😁
It's true, i'm trying to complete this run in top grades and because people were never bothered about it and likely just treated as bullion they don't seem to have been maintained well.
On that note if anyone has something that can improve my set PM me! https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/alltimeset/265765

Lovely Sovereign @Shaun.
Do you prefer your Sovereigns in slabs/ or raw? As such, will you be leaving it in its original slab? Or perhaps consider conservation/ reappraisal and into a new slab? Or even remove from the slab altogether?
I don't wish to start a debate on grading in this thread (I'm sure it will be debated in the future! 😂), but interested to know your preference. I can see merits in both slabbing coins and keeping them as is.
Hi @Rich, I'm pushing for all #1 sovereign runs at PCGS, anything I buy in NGC will get crossed (if it beats my current grades).
I doubt I would ever conserve a coin, I don't think PCGS even offer this. IMHO it's a NGC/NCS money making scheme pushed a lot by a certain authorized partner 🙂
I think also when you have a true Pedigree that it's nice to have it provable by the grading company too, if you break the slab that's potentially lost, especially with how poor NGC imaging is!

As @Mike said it was just to keep the forum numbers down until we are more active, with more members we can add more forums no problem 🙂
Of course you can always showcase your collection in the photo forums, and any specific discussions on doubles can go in here

I also pre-ordered but now I'm seeing it's revised by Spink I'm not sure 😄. I've tried to contact them so many times about mistakes in their book, incorrect varieties and such but they are not interested whatsoever

Try it again Steve, it may have disappeared for you too?
Edit: Ah, It's a one use feature. I expect I've now lost it again.
Edit 2: I can edit this post but no other. Maybe only 'recent posts'?

Thanks guys for the report, it's a time-based config that I've now extended.
Keep them coming, happy to adjust for whatever people want 🙂

NGC, PCGS and Conservation / Restoration

I've seen quite a few of these 1911's in such condition, and the restored example does from the images look like a great improvement. But for me there is just something about touching a coin that should never be touched, I dont know. At the price of a 1911 I would probably do it, but I would never restore an 1817 proof for example, I guess it depends on the state of the coin to begin with.
@Mike I don't have a huge opinion on the look of NGC slabs, it's the companies attitude to poor maintenance of pop reports, 100s of made up varieties, fake pedigrees, poor grading overall (imo), poor imaging, poor software, poor website. I mean, I cannot find any area they beat PCGS in, so why would i use them? The ONLY reason I think people use them in the UK is they feel it's easier, but I've graded 100s of coins with PCGS no issues.
