Great video. Just started buying sovereigns and I'm really enjoying it over standard gold eagle bullion. More interesting and part of history. Plan to buy one per month. Thanks and aloha from Kauai
As you touched on, taxes are the main motivation for which Au bullion to stack. e.g. in UK the sovereigns are tax-advantaged, but in Australia the Au bullion must be .9995 to prevent GST, so any non-24k bullion (Sovereigns, Kruggerand, AGEs) does not make sense. In the US, it may depend which state you are in.
Very new to your channel as of today As an American I agree with everything you about about Gold Sovs. Love them and still learning about them. I just have 5 so far. My Grandmother is from London maybe that’s another reason I like them with the eagles.... Thanks for your channel!
Hey Numi! Another solid video thank you so much! I see in your vid that you have many loose coins (not slabbed). I really do prefer loose over slabbed but I just got my grading results back from PCGS and three of the eleven coins I submitted were cleaned or damaged. I guess its just the price of collecting loose coins. Take care and thank you so much for all of the awesome content!
I’m still watching your older Sovereign videos about buying them and selling lower value bullion to finance them. It’s become a bit of an addiction. An addiction that I love!! Thanks Numi✌️
You require no excuse or forgiveness when buying sovereigns but may I humbly suggest oh great one please buy a good pair of scissors. Amazon have a really good selection and they don’t cost a sovereign. Lol.
Thank you for your comment Sherab. I too am concerned especially given the recent rumors about continued debasement of scissors alloys coming out of China right now. I wonder if the author of the video has heard anything about this. But please for the love of the Queen would you get yourself a decent pair of cupronickel scissori before you give us fellow stackers a ❤️-attack.
My dear, I own many of these pieces, and they are from 1926 from the first printing and I want to sell them, and how much is the price per one of them.
As a new buyer to golf sovereigns. Traditionally I’m a silver stacker and expanding my purchased. Is there a ‘good’ type of sovereign to buy first? And maybe start a semi collection if you will. I’ve seen king George, Edward young queen Elizabeth etc. seems like there’s 10 in the .24 oz class. I’m just a simple buyer.
Being a collector, gold is gold. My purchases are most definitely effected by my budget. Sometimes depending on bills, I end up with a little 1/4 Sovereign, or perhaps even a 1/2 Sovereign. Its been a while since I’ve purchased a full Sovereign because they’ve gone up quite a bit.
I've got a 1914 sovereign that I got in the last days of 100 Dollar sovereigns. I overpaid for a $10 of 1901 in 2003 or so. I also got a 20 Francs of 1866 in what looks like AU. The French coin is about the same size as a sovereign.
Hullo everybody. Sovereigns today, 17 Jan 2023, are selling for around £420+ for bullion. 4 years has seen some great returns and prices are close to an all time high. Well done everyone, tambs ap 👍
I got bit by the Sovereign bug 3 months ago and I'm upto about 2 a week. Is there such thing as an addiction? Nice Sovs by the way, do you want to sell some.......
Very good video I am after a 1915 half sovereign George v sydney coin what would be the price for one iam just starting to collect sovereign so any information would be appreciated
Perhaps bullion collectors don't care about the quality of the coin. If you buy at big companies they have little to choose from because of the random years. Don't you think buyers should have the opportunity to choose their coins? Always enjoy your video, it's informative & very well presentation. Thanks Numi. By the way believe you need a new pair of scissors.
Hi do you trade coins for other people I’ve got a lot of coins my grandfather left me what need grading they some key dates sovereign I collect but I have a gothic crown and 1813 military guinea the rest are sovereigns I would like send you some photos if possible would be nice get a second opinion thanks

I have a silver Roman coin - hand struck from ~ 250 AD. Any chance you could identify it for me if I sent photos of both faces? No idea what it’s worth. I’ve another 4 smaller bronze ones also a bit older.
My dear, I own many of these pieces, and they are from 1926 from the first printing and I want to sell them, and how much is the price per one of them.
Hey I been recently looking into starting my first previous metal stack I been looking at atkinson bullion and bullion by post I'm a total noobie is there any better sites or auctions you know of were I can buy as close to spot price as possible thanks also are there any better online sites to buy from then the ones I mentioned thanks I don't mind starting out at a good site as auctions will be rely new to me
I would suggest starting with your local coin shops or gold dealers. The online dealers have been hit or miss for inventory in the last year or two but sometimes have them. In Canada you pay HST but since they are not .999 gold I believe that they are capital gains exempt. They should cost less than 1/4 ounce gold Maple Leafs as they have slightly less gold and lower premiums for standard pieces.
Numi can u help me I just purchased full sov 1871 London mint Goerge horse back not Sheild thing is , when face faces me and i flip it the Goerge on horse is upside down is that normal
Mike Dennington they are proof so almost all the coin produced still in collector hands. For a circulation strike, the number of choice ms can be extremely low, even whit a high mintage coin.
That’s very true but there may be other factors like how many whole sets and how many were messed with or went into circulation in an emergency. The 1839 coins have same mintage but are 5 x the price so there is lots of potential for the 1887 too.
My dear, I own many of these pieces, and they are from 1926 from the first printing and I want to sell them, and how much is the price per one of them.
Thanks for the vid, Numi. Lynette Zang suggested buying collectable sovereign silver and gold because history shows the government can confiscate all pm in a financial disaster but not collectables. Wondering what your thoughts are.
Agreed. However there is not exactly a shortage of pre 1933 US gold coins, despite legal threats of massive fines and/or jail time for failing to turn them in at the time. They cannot take that which they cannot see. Boating accidents, midnight gardening etc.
There is one particular large seller of graded Sovereigns on eBay that is so overpriced I am shocked they can sell and survive. There are some good deals on eBay as you mention, but unfortunately often the photos are just so poor it’s hard to really tell the condition of the coin... And unfortunately that goes for all coins not just Sovereigns. Some of these sellers would do themselves big favors by investing in better cameras or trying harder, because it looks to many of us like they’re just trying to conceal details by putting up such blurry photos. I have noticed that many of these larger reputable Sovereign eBay sellers have their own websites with lower prices than the eBay prices because they pass the eBay seller fees on to the consumer. Lose the eBay buyer protection, but if it is a reputable seller I’m not as concerned, and some even allow for credit card purchases so use a good credit card and you can dispute in the very unlikely event you don’t get a delivery. Unrelated, it have you received an invoice for your BSJ purchase yesterday? I have not yet. Do they just take a little longer than Heritage?
Not yet it takes a couple of days. as for eBay, I always make an assumption that if somebody has blurry photographs they are trying to hide something. Particularly ones that are taken from some distance when every single mobile phone can take good photos of coins these days.
Crown Collector I agree. The only photos I trust are the ones taken by well established auction houses. I’ve bought some US coins at local shops, though I’ve enjoyed buying from stores in other states that also have their inventory online and lower prices. I haven’t taken a risk with a questionable eBay coin, though they do have buyer protection and some sellers have 30 day no question return policies, so the risk is there but isn’t as great as it seems. Nothing near wiring money to.a stranger. I wouldn’t do it regardless if the seller were out of the states, as the cost to ship back and the exchange rate fees and losses would be another consideration.
Crown Collector no I read it. I agree in part. It is 2018, and lots of good sellers that have actual brick and mortar stores have an online presence or are on a selling network like Collectors Corner here in the states. I’d assume that many are selling a lot more online than they do in their physical stores nowadays. I also haven’t been screwed buying from a distance yet. Of course I much prefer auctions to anything else. I like researching the lots for weeks prior and picking out favorites and enjoy the excitement of bidding.
Started on Britannia’s , stopped at 2 went onto sovereigns , 1 per month as my personal pension…. Wish me luck
In 30 yrs 🤷♂️
♥️ I love Sovereigns ♥️
Being bad never felt so good!! Gorgeous gold sir and just another example of how taxes influence human behavior!! Thanks for sharing!

Great video mate. As usual. Hope you and family are all well. I think the Sovereign are a good way to go.🎉Best wishes
Got my first ever one today, brand new from the Royal Mint. Looking at which and where for my next! Nice video 🙂
How much did you pay for one back then?

I’m still watching your older Sovereign videos about buying them and selling lower value bullion to finance them. It’s become a bit of an addiction. An addiction that I love!! Thanks Numi✌️
Beautifull gold especially the canadian one ! : )
the mintage for 1918 is 106,516 not 196,570 and 256,946 for 1911 in the Charlton and Haxby- Willey.
Unless I copies them wrong the figures came from marsh
Great video Numi I was thinking of starting to stack soverings instead of fractional bars as there is a lot more choice
Great info and footage , where’s best place to buy bullion full sovereigns please
Lots of places but try hatton garden metals
You require no excuse or forgiveness when buying sovereigns but may I humbly suggest oh great one please buy a good pair of scissors. Amazon have a really good selection and they don’t cost a sovereign. Lol.
Yes the ones at home don’t work but the ones in the office do

Love those beautiful sovereigns
where do I buy just 1/2 and full sovereigns for emergency if the bank collapses? i want to put them away just in case
What you really need to buy is a set of new scissors ✂️
Half Sovereign, quarter Britannia. 100 of each would be very nice. My coin goal has started.
How are You doing after 4 years since You made a comment?

I didn't see anything next to the date.

I'm reading your comment some six years later in 2024. I bet your sovereigns have outperformed any other investment you have.😂
Sovereigns are wonderful coins.
If you were going to buy a Sovereign monthly for savings purposes, which would you buy?
Cognitive Dissonance: The "current-year" ones are usually the cheapest (for uncirculated quality).
Very nice coin!

Will the Goerge on horse slaying dragon ever be upside down to the face side
Hi, random one. What's on your wrist in this video?
How do you know the country of issue?
Via the Mint mark
Just above the date, there is a small "c" ( on canadian one, I don't know if this is the same thing for the others countries )
I live in Australia and my sovereigns were minted here, does that mean they're capital gains tax free aswell?
If that’s what the Australian government says...
Check the ATO site to be sure. In general I would say. Sold within the year I'd guess at income tax level. After a year at capital gains tax level.

Love the sovereigns. Anyone know how I can get some from Canada?

Do I buy or wait?? ( current climate🤔🤔🤔)
Good question!!
You never wait. Just check the prices in 2024 in comparison. You buy whenever You have the disposable income.
First numi thanks for sharing this video
Surprised the 1887 proofs are not more expensive due to the low mintage.
Mike Dennington they are proof so almost all the coin produced still in collector hands. For a circulation strike, the number of choice ms can be extremely low, even whit a high mintage coin.
That’s very true but there may be other factors like how many whole sets and how many were messed with or went into circulation in an emergency. The 1839 coins have same mintage but are 5 x the price so there is lots of potential for the 1887 too.
