  1. Thanks for your help Corina and SMS, This is all an interesting learning experience. Whilst I did say I bought it for mostly investment purposes, it is also bought them because I don't own any jewellery or gold and fancied having some for once in my life. Also they seem somewhat unusual being four sided. I did at time of purchase calculate the gold value and it was about £450. On the other hand I have seen "similar" 21st century three coin sets on the usual popular second hand markets and see prices within +/- 20% of what I have bought. Anyway I plan on keeping them for decades. Just a bit of fun to see their value significantly increase. Still not sure I should send it back. Maybe I would end up with another one with the same. I'll better have a word with Hattons..
  2. Hi, I've took some more pics but this is the best I can get with my cheap smartphone camera. Almost all the marks in these photos is the plastic protective case. It's just that tiny spec in the bottom right I'm concerned about. I don't know if these coins are supposed to be 100% perfect or 99.9% perfect??
  3. Hi, I've gone nuts and bought a UK gold sovereign set for mostly for long term investment reasons. Never bought gold or some coins before. They all seem very nice and everything (bit surprised how small they are), but the half sovereign has a small dot on it. There is a dot or pin prick on bottom right of it the size of a full stop. I don't know if this is normal for a proof coin. Never even heard of a proof coin a few days ago. Maybe it is to be expected from the minting process. Maybe a "bag mark" or something. This dot can be seen from 8 inches from most angles once you know that it is there. I could still send it or the whole three coin set back but just want to be armed with some information in case they try and fob me off. It is a 2019 half sovereign four sided coin bought from Hattons of London.
  4. Hello. I'm REALLY not a serious coin collector. Just own some old UK coins (1940 - 1990) and some personally interesting circulated 50p and £1 coins. I've also just bought some UK gold sovereigns (really don't want to make a habit of it at those prices!). Never owned any gold before. Bought them as an investment, emergency fund, and for aesthetic reasons . I aim to sell them some day. However I do fancy something cheaper like silver and uncirculated coins and will keep those. Also some paper money lying about.
