The silver sov will be a money spinner for the RM I reckon. It could compete with the britannia favourably in view of recent price surges. Great video, your passion is infectious!
10:57 This is very exciting. That silver sovereign will be proof and about £60. I was going to buy another coin but I'm holding off now for one maybe two of these.
The reason why they are rose gold now is simply because they stopped inquarting the alloy with silver and started using copper instead. Cutting costs on their end but charging you more for it. Thats why old timers dont like modern sovereigns, it was a criminal move and totally defaced the originals. Il be glad to hear they are discontinuing minting them in rose gold, hopefully they go back to inquarting with silver but it wouldnt suprise me if they started inquarting them with aluminium or some other junk metal
I like the fact that the older sovereigns were golden. Will we find a new love for the rose gold ones once they are no longer being made? Maybe I should have bought more of the rose gold ones? 😂🍻
I think an ‘official’ silver sovereign from the RM is a great idea - hopefully they will produce a standard bullion version every year from here on and not screw people on price. If so, I will be buying…… Thanks for showing 👍 - don’t forget sovereigns don’t show a denomination……
What makes it a great idea?! That’s wishful thinking they won’t charge you hand over fist for mass produced tat! Go ahead and waste your money how you want but my initial question still stands!
Very intriguing, Sovereigns are out of my price range, I don't like the rose gold version myself. Not sure why they are bringing out a silver version. I think I'll stick to my Silver Britannia collection. (I've got them all since 1997).

@@jonodunn2592 Thank you. Maybe I missed that in the video, but I don't recall any mention of a commemorative half-sovereign, just a new or changed design.
@@DerekWalsh-l4i no problem I’m not sure if he mentioned commemorative but on the image it shows the coin from 1825 and the new one for 2025 is the same so pretty sure that’s what it is
i have the 2019 gibraltar silver sovereign, that was supposedly at the time the world's first but this is first from royal mint and with pestrucci' classic design
They are minting them from .925 sterling so should be original size and weight, but yes the premiums will be high because its silver so its subject to 20% tax.
@@UncalBertExcretes I was assuming there would be a bullion version released. But then why buy it if you can buy 1/4th silver brits for about £12 each instead?
@@daviniarobbins9298 there will he no bullion version, it looks like it will gr .999 proof finish and £79 to buy. About as scammy as the gimmick mints who started the whole silver sovereign thing.
Just the usual mickey mouse releases the RM is churning out by the bucket-load along with all their zillions of commemorative this and that. I'll just stick with collecting coins with real history and investment value thanks.
Wonderful .... thank you . Proof silver for me and my descendants .
Our pleasure!

I definitely think they need to be realistic with the price
Thanks 🙏👍
Why not just make a silver crown instead of a silver sovereign?
They already do silver crowns
Interesting 🤔 thanks for sharing! Would love to have the silver one to add to my collection 🙂
Thank you very much
Have you guys done a video on the denominations of all the coins of Great Britain??? Keep up the great work.

More and it’ll be a waste of money but go ahead 😅

Yes

No.
I think I will still prefer yellow

I definitely hope for a bullion version
many thanks
Thanks 👍
I have signed up for the announcement.
Me too

Very nice collection 😁
Strange that the proposed modern half-sovereign has the name of King George the Fourth on the reverse. Why?
As the original shield Was a George IV
@@BitsAndBobsCoins Yes, I already knew that, but I still ask: Why? Are the Royal Mint designers too lazy to think of something new?

That was a marketing humming from the london mint or jubilee mint or whatever 😅
Yes this is official
But very nice coin
If the silver sovereign is 7.32g and costs at least £40 I won't be interested. But knowing the Royal Mint it will be stupid prices.

Around £79 + delivery apparently 😅
Probably will be very expensive

Not a bad move
