Title: King George V Sovereign mint mark set
Post by: serial on January 27, 2016, 04:15:07 PM
I got this baby the other day, 7 ChUnc sovereigns from all mints in a frame from Perth mint. It is hard for me to do but I am going to break it up to send of to get graded.

Very nice.

Assuming that Perth Mint made this for a profit and they know what they are doing. Logic would suggest to keep it as it is?

1920p, 1912m, 1913s, 1918i, 1928sa, 1912 Britain, 1911 Canada.
Yes Perth mint did a great job of putting this together and when they sold it the charged the buyers 5 times the bullion value for the coins as they are choice coins but they would be worth more in a slab graded. Having said that this will stay on my wall for at least a year

I was think that as well kchan but it wouldn't be the same. I was thinking of slabbing them and then some how storing the slabs in the frame so the coins are still visible but not the slabs

I did not know that sovereigns were minted in three different places in Australia.
