stevo1962 Pillar of the Community Australia 908 Posts	Posted 08/22/2013 11:14 pm Would you accept aUNC?Maybe good EF with the marks on the obverse but its certainly worth more than spot although I do believe the grades are more lenient with sovereigns because they mark more easily than copper or silver Edited by stevo1962 08/22/2013 11:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Eric Eigner sent me this one for spot + 15% and I am really happy with it. To my untrained eye I would call it at gEF-AU55. I don't know for sure ,That's why I am asking for opinions Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 08/22/2013 11:34 pm Good EF for this one. Nice coin! Decades ago, I had a complete gold type set of sovereigns and halves that included an Adelaide Pound. I sold the lot with a few interesting ancient gold coins, to raise money for a house deposit.

This is only my 4th sovereign so far and I am aiming for a type set , Then try and fill the gaps in the dates after that. I doubt very much that I will be able to afford an Adelaide Pound tho Report this Post to the Staff
