World Colonial Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Most of the coins are distinctive though a few quite overpriced as far as I am concerned, except compared to the closest comparable US coinage. The one coin which is most overpriced is the 2019 5S. The price is absurd and I presume due to the COA #1. I'd rate it as one of the most overpriced and worst numismatic values in the world, literally. brg5658 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a mintage of only 4 pieces, I’m quite sure there is nothing all that special about a COA#1. I think you are confusing this with the smaller issued gold pieces. It’s not a bargain at the price noted, but it is nowhere near the most absurd or overpriced numismatic item I’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not look it up, only that I saw it was a 2019 and a 5 Sovereign. Most overpriced coin ever (not even close) is the South Africa 2008 Mandela 90th BD 5R NGC MS-69 purportedly sold by the South African Coin Company for the equivalent of $338,000.

Moxie15 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 The little I have dealt with foreign collectors and dealers. and sadly this was around ten years ago, NGC was the far and away the best accepted US grading firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a 5 sovereign. It is a 2 kilogram hunk of gold with nominal value of £2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still is. PCGS has become particularly inconsistent and wild with some of their grading of non-USA coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not read the commentary completely. I don't consider it a real coin either, similar to several China NCLT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you may know, I collect French 20-franc gold roosters and it stands to reason I will trust those who grade them frequently than their counterparts in CA and FL who come across them only occasionally.
