1980 £1, 1985 £1, 1994 £1, 1999 £1, 1985 £5, 1991 £100 Britannia, 2005 £50, 2005 £25, 2005 £10. This is the sum total of my modern UK proof gold, all bought as bullion when gold was quite a bit lower. That limits me to the pretty ordinary coins. Most of my British gold are vintage sovereigns, which go as far back as 1833. And, as they were real coins, that is where my preference lies. The five sovereigns I have between 1957 and 1966 are in a category all their own and are only distinguished by being in exceptionally high MS condition. It is a real privilege getting to see so many beautiful and rare modern UK gold, thanks very much, Numi.
Britannia is my favored coin after the sovereign. There are a few designs and designers that really stand out Philip Nathan of course who did the first batch, Suzie zamit whose 2 designs were both used some decade apart the second is really great in high relief on 5oz coins as the design is so detailed, and of course the iconic Jody Clark 2014 design, which was a high in modern seminumismatic design for me. The changing of artists and interpretation of the changing face of Britain was also great with some choice and changing designs from 2007 up... thanks again for the videos
John Allen: That sounds like a good deal. I got some sovereigns from ebay a couple of weeks ago and they were £333 each at that time but prices have gone up again since then. I wouldn't pay more than about £340 though, even on ebay, although "proof" versions will always cost more.
Ohhhhh, that London Coin Company! Yes, I’ve also been to that antiquaited site. Thought it was associated with the other company. Thanks for the clarification. Love that 2009 chariot Britainnia! Probably Britannias rank higher in popularity than the £2 sovereign which I think is the sleeper in British gold.
Hi Numi. The silver foil is more likely there to give the contents a little more protection from any water or other liquids that may spill on the box in its travels. I work for a major airline as a cargo screener and if that package arrived at my cargo station and I couldn't see the contents inside during x-ray, then I would have to open the box and all other packages inside to verify that the contents matched the airway bill and nothing was inside the box which could harm the aircraft. Great coins and fantastic video. Thank you.
great collection of coins, for me its always the £5 comemrative coins followed by 50p, but as always it always gives me the greatest buzz if i can pick up say somethink like a victoria sovereign and it gets a really good grade from ngc, but now getting a lot harder to do that i just think so many more people are collecting gold coins these days...great video numi...
I prefer larger size than smaller. £5 quintuple sovereigns and commemorative crowns have the wow factor. Some more than others depending on design. £2 / double sovereigns and 50 pences follow. Full size Britannias would be up there too, but I don't have any yet. Unlike a lot of collectors I'm not a particular fan of modern £1 sovereigns. They look resplendent on screen and in brochures, but I have to remind myself that they're only about the same size as a decimal penny. I'd rather save up and buy something larger, albeit less frequently. That said, I do appreciate historical sovereigns. I would add that your channel input is responsible for that. Keep up the good work.
The 2017 set really sends the point home how the British coin design beats all others. Yes, I know that's quite a claim but all one has to do is look and admire.
I agree with you on the "pecking order" of the coins -- the sovereign being on top, then £5, then perhaps £2, etc. And yes, for some reason the proof Britannias aren't very popular. Not sure why, but I also feel that way about them, which is why I haven't bought one yet! Of course the bullion Britannia is the opposite, very popular. Could it be because people see the Britannia as a bullion coin rather than a luxury item?
Got to agree that Sovereigns @1 Most overlooked the £2 even the Double Sovereign for that matter. Looking for a real bargain ? @ under spot? Channel Islands commemoratives. Eg.. Last month I bought a 2017 Guernsey £5 Proof 'hundred years of the Windsors' mintage only 💯 there is no market for them. Paid Spot minus £400 £1,039 for 39.9g of 22ct. Gold. Problem is it's so nice like those in this video lovely wooden box and all, I just can't bring myself to send it to the melting pot. Lol
Oh crap, left bids on lots of these coins, I bet Regal bought the lot. He is a flippin "David Cameron" Lol Prefer the £5 coin as it shows of the commemorative design better.
Last set had some nice coins. I especially like the King Canute and Isaac Newton designs.
Very beautiful coins. For me the preference is always sovereigns.

Many of mine were also bought when gold was a fair amount lower as well but high quality older Sovereigns is timeless
This was big longer video but I still love to watch specially the last set was pretty amazing thanks for sharing
The coin Lover yes a bit longer than my usual all in glorious 4k

Superb gold coins, I love the Guinea.

Yes you may be right about that. It’s the first time I have seen anyone use foil.

Yes I have noticed it is MUCH harder to find great condition bargain Sovereigns
Wow Numi that was awesome oh and I also had a question about the last video.what was the last instrumental song that was on that video called

They are over a half Oz of gold so go back a long way
Lovely coins you opened up for us. Really super! Will you be grading these?
Yes all will be graded and shown in one of the next results videos
The 2017 set really sends the point home how the British coin design beats all others. Yes, I know that's quite a claim but all one has to do is look and admire.
Out designs do hit more often than miss
I love the 5 pound coins, the king Canute one is great!!
Don't want to know what the invoice was for these two boxes🙈🙈
A bit ))

Me and my son are cooking out tomorrow, can I use that foil?😉
How much does the 2007 Britannia proof silver set go for?
Annual sets coming first then thru the year RM issue coins separately.
Thanks for that as they have not really been on my Radar before
@@Numistacker I always buy annual sets when they came out so no need waiting for hours when RM launch individual coin release 😂
Love the gold 50 pence !!
Got to agree that Sovereigns @1
Most overlooked the £2 even the Double Sovereign for that matter.
Looking for a real bargain ?
@ under spot? Channel Islands commemoratives. Eg.. Last month I bought a 2017 Guernsey £5 Proof 'hundred years of the Windsors' mintage only 💯 there is no market for them.
Paid Spot minus £400
£1,039 for 39.9g of 22ct. Gold.
Problem is it's so nice like those in this video lovely wooden box and all, I just can't bring myself to send it to the melting pot. Lol
Yes agree on Channel Islands but that is not normal to get such a great discount
@@Numistacker no I forgot to say it was off eBay.
Oh crap, left bids on lots of these coins, I bet Regal bought the lot. He is a flippin "David Cameron" Lol
Prefer the £5 coin as it shows of the commemorative design better.
In my humble opinion, the sovereigns will always be the best. The gold 50p’s are second and everything else is everything else...LOL ✌️
Not 5£ before 50p?
Numistacker Nah... I’m strange😂
Good bless prince 👑 send me one free dream ok
