Merry Christmas all!
In this video I unbox some Gold Coins that I bought. Gold price was at a point that I wanted to buy and so I looked for the cheapest physical gold investment I could make. I bought some gold from Hatton Garden Metals and they were Sovereigns. The best gold coin to buy in my opinion. Today I will unbox them and we can see what we get!

That 2011 is a proof. A coin can’t become an “ex proof.” Just a proof in poorer condition. Proof entails a special type of strike.
Awesome coins! Thanks for sharing!
By far, the sovereigns are the cheapest here in Portugal, usually. I was lucky i found a jeweler that sells me for really low price, he usually even sells me at spot price if it's a full sovereign, since i usually buy halfs. Extremely popular gold coin here
Myself, I don't like buying lucky dip sovereigns. I prefer to see what I am buying.
Over this week and today I was gifted 3 ASEs (plus a 2022 Britannia)
Nice 28 more and you got a kilo.
About 6 weeks ago I bought 10 best value sovereigns from ATS , I got 10 , 2012s still in royal mint stamped blister pack
I've stacked 20 Francs for a while but just bought my first Sov this month. The low premium was just too good to pass up. Love it! I think I'm hooked.
Love them, the premiums are stunning
Those 20f coins are in the sweet spot between sovs and half sovs.I like the the Nap iii and the swiss vreneli....All gold coins are good.
Any yours realy tough cut on the one side edge @BackyardBullion
Those jubilee ones are my favorite. Nice video
I bought 100 Gold sovereigns in 2010 for £20.000, they are now worth £50.000. So don't let anybody tell you gold is not a good investment.
Nice little batch of soverigns the Jubilees are sweet. Thanks for sharing Merry Christmas
I love Sovs. I started buying them on a whim as they were the only coins that I could afford at that moment. It turns out, I love the selection and the design. I also think that because of the somewhat odd weight, some vendors sometimes price them a few dollars lower than they should be for their weight, much the same way that some dealers misprice old European gold coins a few pennies off, as well.
Fantastic little haul !👌 😀
Thank you 😁
Love me some sovereigns. Thanks for sharing sir
Merry Christmas. 🎄🕯️🌟🎁
I have 4 Sovereigns. The stacker in me always says no when I am thinking about buying Sovereigns. They come with a high premium here in Austria. I wish you and yours a happy and healthy New Year. 🍀
Thanks Merry Christmas!
2011 definitely looks like a proof, aFDC though
Pretty neat to see the 1890s coins. Old stuff is cool!
Lovely coins, we always use Hatton Garden metals, great prices and excellent presentation.
They are great!
Fun video. 🤗
Love the channel got my first half a sovereign yesterday for £205 in a pawn shop. Was thinking if I get 7 a year that’s an ounce
You will need 8.5 worth to get to an oz troy
Sound' 🧡 both your presentation style & enthusiasm concerning your Christmas🎄sovereign's Mr Backyard Bullion.... I've only just discovered your channel & this is the first of hopefully many more videos I'll be checking out'
So Merry Christmas ⛄ to your good-self & all the other viewers enjoying the channel....😃
2011 is a proof , very nice selection from a really good bullion dealer... the 2011 may clean up quite well .. maybe worth a conservation fee ..
I think so too, it looks great. I'm not sure it will conserve, there are some dings and dents on it.
@@BackyardBullion Oh . that's a shame .. couldn't see the marks , but I've started using H.G.M and had a couple of proof Britannia's .. even with marks they are still higher quality than standard bullion.. good coins you got there..
Yes it's a proof, and the 2011 has quite a low graded population. It might be useful to get it graded even if it gets a 67 or so.
Swell done Mr BYB,
I bought 2 x 2012 sovs some while ago, at the time I couldn't get to like them, and sold them on. I ended up recovering them when I changed strategy in favour of sovs.
My second most amazing find was 2002 golden shield anniversary sovs from a pornbrokers, my best being a double proof 2002 sovs from Bullion by Post.
Amazing, thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!
Porn? brokers ….🤣
You sure it's a pornbroker not a pawnbroker? 🤣
I believe I have been sent a 1923 SA full sovereign, mint mark is faint, but you can just make out the SA.
The 2011 definitely looks like a proof. 🎉 Suggest you keep that one in its flip.
When paying on credit card is it classed as a cash advance?
I have been buying Mexican 10 pesos for melt. But I live. In Texas. A little bigger but not much
Where do you find a buyer who will pay a bit more for the good ones?
Nice pickups. Love the variety!
Any US stackers of sovereigns here? How is resale of these in the States? Will dealers lowball you when it comes time to sell?
I'm going to check my local coin shop to see if they have any Have a blessed and wonderful Christmas everyone
Lovely coins.
I bought a monarch sovereign from 1615 before advent of the Bank of England. pretty sweet , if only that coin could speak about the lives it touched
How much was that? Wow
@@callum1855
The pound / dollar exchange was pretty good about 1300 for 9.79 gm of gold. You can google the discovery of the UK Ellerby gold hoard 260 PCs found in 2019. Auctioned in October by spink. I bought it for the history , ironically because some of the coins were less than govt legal limit for national treasure. Finders were keepers to do what they wish.
Today for best value they give you the shities coins and you pay way too much
Deffinately a proof in there...
How do you not know what a proof coin looks like? 🤔
I own lots of them 😉
@@BackyardBullion I know you do 😆
@@BackyardBullion so if a proof coin is dented like the one you have it drops onto the bullion category?
Boxing day in Australia while watching this. Gorgeous Sovereigns. Just love the Queen Victoria ones. I am so envious. ☹️
You need more light to brighten them up.
It's winter and it was raining, natural light is best and that's what I work with only I'm afraid
Sovereigns have mintmarks. Some of them
Are they half or full Sovereigns ?
I’m new to this stacking lark and love your videos (I nearly always watch to the end) but I’m a little confused. So many videos say fractional gold is not a good investment but aren’t sovs fractional? Is there a difference in buying 9 sovs and 9 quarter ounce Britannias?
Sovereigns tend to be lower premium than quarter oz things. They are the best low premium fractionals
Thanks. I do like the sov and I agree with you about the colour of the new sovs and older sovs.
2011 is a proof or BU I would keep it separate personally
The 1910 has a P above the date which means it was minted in Perth Western Australia
They are very nice but how much gold is in one of them.
About 0.2354 ozt per sovereign
@@BackyardBullion Thank you so much but, how many grams is that because i really want some.
@@stevelauda5435 .2354 oz equals 7.32 gramms. Sovereign made of 91.7% gold (7.32 gr) and 8.33% other metals.
Another great video fam! Merry Christmas
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Wow
Good aren't they? Merry Christmas!
Is it worthwhile to have some of them graded? At least the 2011 one looks good to me.
No, it would be a waste of money. The 2011 has some nasty marks on and as such would not grade well and it would just be a waste of money
They are bullion without expectation that the coins would be graded.
I bought a 2022 Sovereign last week. I wanted one with the coa for the Queens Jubilee. I don't think it will add any value but It will make it a little more interesting. My excuse for being here today is my wife
is doing a 12 hour shift and my dogs asleep! Ps in my opinion, which isn't worth much, that is a proof!
When your wife comes home make sure she feeds the dog as you will be busy sleeping :)
@@sublimesounds147 lol that would go down well!
Very nice coins! Merry Christmas! 🎄🙂
Thanks and the same to you!
The 2011 is a proof coin. NGC and PCGS offer Conservation / Restoration services that can make it good as new…or pretty damn close, well worth the extra service fee.
Congrats. Always good to buy what you like. Thanks for sharing and have a great day. Be safe.
Thanks, you too! Merry Christmas
I'm dreaming of a gold Christmas.
Bling Crosby.
Amazing how the price has gone up on sovs 12yrs ago u cud buy em for 160 sterling each now they are 400 plus. In 2010 you cud even get young head sheildbacks at 170sterling. Wish i kept all mine but i bought me dads house instead.
2011 is/was a proof coin. It's funny when people say how you should or shouldn't handle gold bullion coin.... They should try holding some! I love raw bullion coins agaisnt my skin!!!!!!
Good haul there. 2011 looks like it was a proof. 2012s are nice in best value too 🍻
Nice Christmas present to self. I haven't yet graduated to the 21st century sovereigns.
Not bought any bullion sovereigns in 2022 .Best value in 2023 is my plan maybe a pf70 2005 if I'm lucky
I've got a quarter once Krugerrand that I'm wanting to sell, 1985, what is the least I should sell it for?
It's currently worth £385 (bullion value). Easiest is to sell it to a bullion dealer but you'll prolly get a bit less.
Hello I started investing in gold and silver recently. Please let me. Know when I can buy 1oz silver brittanias from you! I have missed your sale so is there any chance you can sell me some please.
Hi, is Hatton best place to buy from?
What book are you using re values?
Cheers
They are very good, I don't use a book.
@@BackyardBullion do you know if a book or website that gives values? Cheers
Remember the dad's army episode when Fraser was hoarding sovereigns?
Subd-nice coins and hello from New Zealand
Sovereigns... what's not to love.
They are amazing
It's proof, I think ngc and ncs will make it look new though wasn't sure if it had scratches but ncs would certainly make it like new again to remove the finger marks.
Fair play. It was great to hear the excitement. Almost like it's Christmas. Still chuckling.
Merry Christmas
Thanks, you too!
Just starting to collect, what's the best way to record the info on a spreadsheet? Maybe a video would be nice
Just make a spreadsheet with price paid, date where from. Not hard!
@@BackyardBullion Thank you for the quick reply. Love your vids.
No worries buddy, good luck!
Yeah it's simple though I bet many still don't and it's handy to see it done , writing them on the pieces and or accounting book and or digital storage as well.
Merry Christmas! Congrats on a good purchase. What is the make up of the old, less pink looking sovereigns? Do they have less copper and more gold than the modern ones?
The old ones have some silver in them where as the new ones are all copper
All soverigns contain the same amount of gold
Yes, but 8.3333% of them are made of other metals. The ones with a full 8.3333% copper are more pink and the ones with some silver in them are more golden.
@@BackyardBullion Thanks for the reply. Strange why they changed to adding a harder metal (copper) to the alloy rather than silver As the sovereign is now primarily a bullion coin rather than a monetary coin in circulation it doesn’t need to be any more robust than the old ones with silver in them. Maybe they were trying to copy the krugerrand.
No, they changed it to save money, plain and simple.
Nice haul.. hope you and yours have a great Christmas, best wishes buddy
That 2011 looks very much like a proof to me. Great result that.
Always great to go with sovs, it’s a must have gold coin! Happy new year!
Nice coins, gold is always best with low premiums
2012 version is really nice!
Excellent video nice collection of sovereigns there. Merry xmas.
Are they best value sov...chosen by them?
Nice 👌
That 2011 looks like a proof 🤔
Just found you. 👏👏👏 Nice to know I had bought well. Enjoying your vids immensely.
Welcome aboard!
9:40 an opened proof lol and it's in your hand lol
Absolutely lovely variety of sovereigns
They are amazing aren't they!
Fabulous Sovs. I only have two 1/2 Sovs.
Touching your sovs is not as bad as people testing the gold content with their teeth...it used to be a tried and tested way of seeing if something is gold.
These are Bullion sovs, nothing wrong with touching them. They were literally used as currency....that's what they are made for.....
Very nice!
Merry Christmas!
Beautiful coins.
Beautiful 😍
Beautiful set
Aroused. Cheers 🥃
🎄Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas.
That was fun. Thank you. 👍
I think the 2011 ist a Proof.
It may very well be a proof!
Can i ask , what's a proof ?
@@builderNorthamptonn A proof is a coin struck multiple times to give it a superior finish. They are usually produced in limited numbers making them more desirable.
Merry Christmas 🎅
I'm guessing you bought the last nine and left none for the rest of us 😛
What gold % are the pink hue coins compared to the pure looking coins?
Exactly the same
@@BackyardBullion oh, I guess one has copper compared to silver
Have seen Hatton Garden's change over the years, there are some very good dealers and valuers and Jewellery repairs and some are not so good. Hatton Metals are one of the good ones. Happy Christmas to Mr & Mrs BYB and Family.
Good for selling matal detecting finds to also.
Buy ETFs, much less of a headache, just my opinion
Great video on Christmas morning!
Thanks, merry Christmas
Nice vid. I’m stacking Sovs, 20 Francs, and Krugs. I’m also into the historical ones for sure. I try to only buy XF or better as I worry about content loss with the worn ones. I also stacked multiple historical us quarter, half, eagle and double eagle coins before I got wise on the Sovs and 20 Francs lower overhead for stacking. I like the idea of being able to sell off just a 1/5 or 1/4 oz coin vs trying to find a buyer for a full ounce coin.
