Here is your chance to own a wonderful piece of rare and valuable British history! Once in common usage in Britain and across the British colonies, this solid 22 ct gold half sovereign weighs in at 3.99g. The wonderful thing about this coin, minted in 1885, is its design... Commonly known to collectors as a 'Young Head' (the Queens portrait), it is the reverse of this coin that gets collectors really excited as its a "Shield Back". These were minted in limited numbers compared with the traditional 'George and the Dragon' design and only during certain years. T hese two features, plus the good condition for such an old circulated coin creates what is known as a 'numismatic premium'... This is a collectors value attributed to a special coin above and beyond its 'bullion value'. I use my knowledge of coins, as a collector for over 40 years, in combination with my expertise in investing in coins minted from precious metals, to hand pick coins I believe will deliver significant future growth potential, thanks to their numismatic features. This coin is therefore, I believe, perfect for investment purposes! My advice would be to treat it like a fine wine and 'lay it down' for 10+ years to see the greatest returns. For a 2GBP investment, whatever you do with this stunning coin will see you a WINNER! To create as many winners as possible and encourage others to share in my passion for collecting and investing in the safe haven that is precious metals, I will add a further 20 runners up prizes of a 1g Bar of Solid .999 Silver Bullion Bars each. In the unlikely event that the total of this raffle is not realised, the winner of the 75% of the total value made (please see Raffall T&C's for more details) will also win one of these 1g Bars, absolutely free as a thank you for taking part.
