    Happy Birthday!

    Thank you!

    I can tell that is the regular bullion version of the 2023 sovereign, apparently they come in tubes, did yours arrive pristine?
    I ask because I’m wanting one, but I want to send to PCGS and have a chance at 70.

    I’m reluctant to buy one just yet.

    I don’t have a picture, but @1630Boston sent me the 40% 3 coin set a while back from my birth year 1976. I still have the coins, but apparently don’t have the picture….

    My latest pick up, I guess this could be considered a birthday present to myself :D

    I have been on a British and Canadian gold coin kick lately.

    Mine arrived in decent shape in a mylar flip from Apmex. But it isn't a 70. Perhaps if you got a tube directly from the Royal Mint and sent in the best of the group you could get a 70. But it would never compare to your matte finish example!

    Thank you, yes, indeed, the matte version is spectacular, I’m very happy with it!
    I have the proof also in PF69 DCAM

    So now I’m badly wanting the regular strike in a 70

    Ha! 1976 here. 🤓
    My birth year had an Ike dollar,
    the mint even heard about my birth, and changed the reverse of the coin! 😦

    :D:p

    I’m 47 today.

    I'm 1975. Bastards we're pissed I was born and refused to make an Ike with my date on it! :disappointed:

    I think they made the 76 one both years?

    Yeah but they purposely didn't put my birth year on the coin just to get my goat! LOL

    @asheland, Happy Birthday! We’re you born in San Francisco in 1939?

    He is not that old.

    That was a joke, Dude! Was going along on the 1939 theme.

    Happy Birthday Ashland! Many more!!

    Not a coin but it has gold and shines. I know you like your trinkets too.

    It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.
