Well done Numi,stunning coin. In my opinion most beautiful and my favourite portrait of all time
Numi - that's a lovely coin. Yesterday, in Perth Australia, I picked up my GB 1853 Sov PCGS PR DCAM 64 from Eric E. This is a truly beautiful coin as well. It compliments my GB 1825 Sov PSGS PR DCAM 63 I bought earlier last year. Dr Gary
the shieldbacks on those larger 1826 sovereigns are so fine and intricate. Very neat design. love the history behind these diff. strikes. thx for the video.
Works of engraving art
Wow man, that is an awesome set of beautiful coins. I love the British coins of all kinds. Thanks for showing them
Gorgeous acquisition! Well done. I agree that this was a very special video. You are quite the professional and you already know what to do. I would hope with your relationship with NGC and NCS that they would take good care of you especially with all of the free advertising you give them in every video you produce.
Yes I hope and I have asked them to help out
Thank you
I really enjoyed your video, thank you. Despite being nearly 48, I'm very new to the hobby, and as yet, know very little, so your explanation of what exactly 'Proof Coins' are was very helpful. My first love is photography, so originally I just purchased some very cheap coins to take some pictures of, but my interest was sparked and now I want to carry on collecting. I don't have a lot to spend on my hobby, but that doesn't matter to me. I just like collecting coins at the moment! Kind regards.
Be careful Ashley it’s contagious
@@Numistacker To late! I've found that out already! Ha Ha!
Congrats Numi! I can sense your excitement.
just love your enthusiasm, but especially your thoughtfulness when it comes to purchases
Thanks Thornton
very nice coins Numi thank you kind sir
Very nice coins, I've only got an 1888 bullion sovereign from those sort of times, excellent collection.
Congrats on your new coin! Very good choice indeed
Beautiful piece and choice mate, Gratz !
Lovely coin well done numi 👍
Congrats on the win! I was lucky enough to win one also!
Excellent which one did you manage to bag?
What a wonderful video Numi absolutely awesome
Thanks very much Gabriel
Great job Numi. It's a beautiful coin.
Splendid Coins!
Spectacular coins. Great video.
That's one amazing coin to ad to your collection, well done!!
Love those older coin's, got myself a 1827 1 cent from the Netherlands in MS65RB last week.
Excellent and hope your collection is progressing well
@@Numistacker it's my second coin this year, first one was a 1877 1/2 cent MS64RB. So it's going well so far☺
That George IV gold set(bare head),is exquisite....
Fantastic pick up! Hope you get a good deal to conserve the coin
Great buy!
Wow.
Just wow.
You're one lucky guy to get your mitts on that ! 👍👏👏😍
My kind of game... never really was into these new bullion coins you present so often.
More new coins around than these )) that’s why this is special
Congratulations on your acquisition, it's absolutely amazing.
Thanks very much it’s very special for sure and I’m very proud of it
Stunning coin and an amazing addition to your growing collection.
Thanks very much it’s coming along
Your selling and saving certainly paid off, that 1953 1/2 Sovereign is stunning. Oww! I've gone over all green. Thanks for sharing.
It’s a fun little game ))
Very nice coin great buy.
Surely the creme de la creme of sovereign proof coins? I found the content fascinating. Puts the likes of modern commemorative and novelty coins into perspective, at least where I'm concerned. Well done with your acquisition and what you had to say goodbye to, to get there.
I don’t regret selling lots of very nice coins as I am happier with just a few special ones
Does the Queen get a sample coin of every one that the Royal Mint puts out? And does she ever show her collection? That would make a great video for you.
Lovely, simply lovely!
Very beautiful
Stunning coin, just curious where you sold your other coins to afford this one?
Love those milled proof coins,from the nineteenth century!!
I love the shield back.
A second in silver dip would turn your coin into a fantastic PR65/6. What is really rare in older British proofs is a lack of hairlines due to cleaning. Yours is completely free of those, as the hairlines, as you stated, are die polishing lines.
Well done Numi, great coin fabulous grade. NCS can remove those copper spots and make it at least a PF65 or PF65+ 👍
I will see what they can do ))
@@Numistacker get them to throw in a special Numistacker Collection label as well. Lol
Very nice pickup! Was it the + that swayed you for this coin?
I would eventually NCS that coin, even if I would have to sell a couple of coins for it...
When I saw it in London at Coinex I knew it was special. It went for more than I thought but sometimes you just need to pay the price.
One day maybe ? If canadian specimens weren't so expensive too ... : (
Beautiful 1826 set! 😲😲😲
hello Silver Limey
Great video, and fascinating to see how your collection evolved into this high premium ultra special area of coins. These coins stay with the holder for life often I am sure. I would advise not to conserve it. It's stunning as is and it's history travels with it imo would not conserve anything prior to 1980s and effectively modern proofs. None of my business of course, thanks for sharing!
Please make a video on the coins you sold to buy the half sov
Looking back are you happy with this strategy of buying one or two very rare coins? They are beautiful and much nicer to look at than standard modern coins. Have they increased in value more than bullion? Hard to tell I suppose without knowing their value today.
well there was a lot of dream coins there amazing numi great video, make sure you have a look on the verification site at the pictures of this coin, was the degrigation there when slabbed or is this degraded once slabbed, thats the question but there are what looks like dirt around the edges that will clean off, somethink for you to ponder on...
I think it was there and it’s pretty minor no question this would conserve well
@@Numistacker it would be nice and well worth it if it got a 65, dont forget to let us all know when it does eventually come back from ngs...
Awesome coin
Thanks very much
Naw...I dont get it. Aside from the rarety and value and history and heritage and amazing eye appeal ,and appreciateable value. i can't see why anyone would want these. Lol. They are truely wonderfull. Congrats on your amazing pick up
I love modern too ))
You’re quiet on Britannia day Numi!! Hope you’re ok??
I bought a platinum one maybe I will make a little video tomorrow
Numistacker I got a platinum too! 😀 👍🏻
Have Amy French 1 D'ors From the 1600's the eyeglasses reverse?
👍
I would rather save up for 1953 sovereign
Not sure you will see one for sale but it’s also on my list
Conserve it Numi , it will pay you back
Well now I'm just curious how much was the coin?
Sufficient
You really going to make me look it up? fine.
One dislike, someone hates numi lol haters gonna hate
Yes if anyone hates this video you just know it’s vindictive ))
Why do you pay so much for coins without provenance?
All the coin dealers / expert I know that collect, don't buy any coins for themself without it having old provenance, before 1970.
It has provenance of sorts as it was part of an established collection the GKW Roberts collection and clearly if it could be traced it goes back a long way.
@@Numistacker GKW Roberts collection is not provenance, he is a modern collector. When looking for provenance the coin needs to be linked to a person that died long time ago and collection sold long after their deaths or the coin need to be illustrated in an auction catalogue, some people accept old sale tickets too.
I don't want to bash what you buy, but more people in the big game start ask for provenance on coins. Ancient coins with provenance goes many times over than a coin with no provenance. We see now in the big game, that coins from Virgil Brand, Ernst Otto Horn, Hohenkubin++ fetch premiums and it's increasing. I believe this will keep on going.
Maybe one don't need to set a pedigree before 1970, like I have done. But I can guarantee you that in the future, people will ask more and more, I think a amateur collector like you, should focus on provenance at least before year 2000. I also want to note that British museum don't display old coins without provenance before 1970.
'Big shout out' American slang from a middle class Brit does sound ridiculous.
