Trying to collect and stack the Sovereigns here in the USA, best bang for the dollar and such great history, speaking of history, I like the old fashion sovereign scale tester
I buy 99% from big online dealers, I don't think it would be a good investment for me, but it is good to know we have ways to test it. Keeping my fingers crossed that all my stuff is real. I do some of the simple test, like Wt and Magnets, size, but nothing fancy.
Yeah I think all but the most sophisticated fakes can be picked out with a bit of experience. For the price of between 2 and 3 sovs it's not super cheap but I think it would make any future sales easier too
Yeah I have done fine without by buying from reputable sources and always checking coins with a dealer from any 2nd hand transactions. I have seen coins listed that didn't look right or I just wasn't sure about the seller and passed on what would have been good deals. Just not worth the risk there's plenty of opportunities to buy
There's plenty of dodgy looking listings there. Steer clear of the 'found in the attic' or 'tin of old coins' where there is a huge chunk of gold sticking out of the photo that isn't included 🤣 Some dealers do operate there though I would imagine considering all the fees they can sell cheaper on their own sites unless you've got some sort of eBay bonus offer
Very well explained . Peace of mind when picking up the odd coin that are good prices from different sources . Knowledge is your best friend as well.
Yeah exactly 👍🏼

It's a nice little something to have with the collection. It does still seem to work too 👍🏼
Excellent video. Thanks!
You are welcome!
I can tell by just looking at it that 1oz QB was a Welsh Dragon and not a Lion😊

@@SovereignSaurus Hi SS, I'm currently checking out PM metal testers, even seeing what and if my contacts have.

Thanks mate
I don't own a Sigma, but I'd like to.
They're just a bit pricey 🧐
However, I always buy from reputable dealers 🙏
