Queen Elizabeth II Sovereigns 1957-1968

The very first sovereigns struck of Queen Elizabeth’s reign were dated 1953 and only a very few were struck in proof form, no currency type coins exist and the proof itself is only held in national collections so it is not one which is expected to come to the market place. I mention this very special coin as its portrait design by Mary Gillick remained exactly the same for the first year of the currency type issue in 1957 but due to changes in the Commonwealth the words BRITT.OMN had been removed from the obverse. So by the time the public got their first look at the sovereign we were already on the 2nd bust. 

Mary Gillick’s second portrait design also known as the pre-decimal head sovereign was produced from 1957-1959 and 1962-1968, 1960-61 do not exist. The 1957 has a finer edge milling often referred to as graining and to simplify means that it has more milling then 1958 onwards.

Queen Elizabeth II decimal sovereigns were struck at the Tower Mint in London until 1975 when the mint moved its operations to Liantrisant in Wales, none were struck at overseas mints. The photos shown are examples only, the grade will be about uncirculated, these sovereigns were never intended for circulation, however most will show small bag marks from being bagged in bank vaults for large periods of their life.

Good finish, poor hardware.
Set screws are poor quality and are sometimes powdercoated on the exposed threads. Leads to striped hex sockets and inability to tighten properly. Durable finish as evidenced by no visible damage after throwing parts across the shop in frustration. Ended up running self tapping screws thru parts to complete assembly.

Cheaper than the supply house.
Size: 42'' x 28''
I used black pipe similar to this to build some shelves in my man cave. I went looking to build a studio desk and found that Lowe's wanted $8 per floor flange (~$96 just for flanges and not including the pipe, tees, or the other fittings). Even supply house dot com wanted $4 per flange (~$48, but was still missing the other parts AND they didn't offer them because of supply chain issues). For about $65, this was a great buy. Yes everything is greasy. This will be the case regardless of where you buy it. I used some gloves, shop towels, and acetone and it cleaned up easily. For a top, I used a pre-made countertop from Lowe's (~$100) and a 1x4 piece of poplar I had sitting around.

Pipes don't assemble square, nice stand though.
Size: 42'' x 28''
These arent standard SCH40 pipe for starters. Significantly lighter. Easier to move around and sturdy enough to support a table, but this isnt pipe. As such, when I threaded it together, it wasn't square. I was able to flatten it mostly, but I had to use a clamp to bend the assembled piping to sguare so it would attach to the table runners. It's fine, but it surprised me. It looks nice, and it provides plenty of support for the table. All good. Several folks complained that the pipes are oily. They are supposed to be to prevent rust. I wiped them down with a few cleaner wipes, and they are fine. Be aware that this doesn't come with instructions or the wood screws you may need for your table top.
