    • @philippayne4951
      @philippayne4951 4 года назад +1

      The 1959 sovereign is the rarest date of the first head of Elizabeth 11 by Mary gillick. If its a MS 64 its a nice grade. If you just want to stack gold sovereigns, then just buy sovereigns at the cheapest rate, just make sure they are genuine. But stacking does not concern genuine collectors ie numismatists.

  • @37oH55V
    @37oH55V 6 лет назад

    Numi my local coin shop has an 1899 and 1900 sovereign. I think they are both London mint. I'm not very knowledgeable in sovereigns and typically do not collect them but I can get a good deal. Bestow your knowledge upon me...

  • @philippayne4951
    @philippayne4951 4 года назад

    The other point that I would say, it does not matter what sovereign you have or condition, they all have a basic bullion price, irrespective of how rare it is. The only reason that top grades and rare sovereigns go for dizzy prices is because collectors want to own them,which pushes the prices up. But to the average person who just want to own a gold sovereign, it makes no difference.

      Interesting advice also thanks - do you buy them already MS graded or do you search for suitable looking coins and get those graded yourself?? Are the uplifts of plain Bullion to MS coins signicant do you think ?
      Cheers !!

    • @meteoman7958
      @meteoman7958 6 лет назад

      Hi Sora. I never get coins graded. MS, of course, just means uncirculated and I buy uncirculated and proof coins whenever they are available at prices just a small amount over spot.

    • @philippayne4951
      @philippayne4951 4 года назад

      MS sovereigns are not bullion coins, but are collected by coin collectors, because they are high grades. Bullion pieces are for people who just wish to stack gold sovereigns. They are of little interest to collectors, unless nice condition or rare, and can be bought above the daily price of gold at a small premium.

    Nice coins, but beware. The first was a Jubilee head London, horse with long tail. According to Marsh it is extremely rare (R3) but in reality there are plenty of these coins. Don't think you will get rich with these coins. But the second jubilee head is a beauty, with a nice premium..

    • @philippayne4951
      @philippayne4951 4 года назад

      It not a point in getting rich, numismatics is about types and varieties, condition and if the coin is rare or not. Marsh although list a piece as rare, it means its rarer then the average sovereign. price depends on demand from collectors, and prevailing market conditions.

    Hey Numi, do you think a proof 2018 Sovereign from the Perth Mint would be a better wedding gift over the 1/4oz kangaroo? They cost essentially the same but I think the Sovereign would make a better gift. Thoughts?

  • @philippayne4951
    @philippayne4951 4 года назад +1

    During the 60s and 70s, Sovereigns from bullion dealers all went for the same price, but Victorian ones always sold for a little more. However all shield back sovereigns always sold for more. During the 60s and early 70s female sovereigns always sold for less in Muslim countries then male sovereigns, due to a woman's status then. Today however this has all changed in Muslim countries. During the 60s and early 70s you could find BU sovereigns at bullion dealers, and get them for the same price as well worn pieces, because all sovereigns are classed as bullion gold coins, and its still the same today. However because so many collect sovereigns today, and want top condition, this has all changed, and bullion and coin dealers go through them with a fine tooth comb and prices now go through the roof, for the best pieces. When you consider you will have to pay £600 to £700 for a BU common old head Victorian sovereign against £300 for a VF very fine piece, its not for the average collector anymore. Its well worth looking at the lower grades, because its still worth collecting, just make sure they have not been mounted or cleaned.

    • @Numistacker
      @Numistacker  4 года назад

      Some great points thank you very much. I think that people at the moment are very very focused on quality and will pay a significant extra money for the very best sovereigns particular shield backs.

    • @philippayne4951
      @philippayne4951 4 года назад

      @@Numistacker At this moment of time I would have to agree with. The problem now is that as these to pieces dry up from the market, and as the price for top pieces continue to rise, you have to think about what you get for your money. For example at the moment, you would have to pay £700 to £800 for a choice BU old head sovereign, although this is a very nice gold sovereign, you could get two in VF condition for this money, and have more gold for your money. And although you have a very nice BU sovereign compared to two lower grades, what happens when the buyer wants to sell the sovereign, what will you get.? There will be a time in the future, when buyers will not pay these dizzy prices, because these prices will keep going up.

      Paul Powell, it's not a full Sov! John says it's a half, which would be around £120 in melt. As it's a desirable date (Queen Vic's Golden Jubilee) in mint state, he should easily get £200+, although I have seen same date in much higher grade go for less than £220.
