Btw, the ‘half sovereign’ theme reminds of the time I showed my sister my cherished Vicky half, she said “oh that’s how big a sovereign is!” With no juxtaposition , a newbie can be scammed easily 🥴 . Great vid, roll on 100 sovs.
My 5th half gold sovereign arrived today 🙂 ! I can't afford a full sovereign yet or I'm impatient to save up for that long of time. Gold fever. Love the different designs and history.
Love the size and utility of the old Sovereigns both full and half. Young Victoria Shields I prefer. I don’t have a full Victoria Shield as of late, only a half.
I think they're a great option, some argue they'll grow further in popularity too as the gold price rises they're more affordable. I don't think you'd go far wrong and I pick them up if there's a particular deal just prefer full sovs
@@SovereignSaurushave been looking into the history of the full and half sovereign, interestingly half sovereigns are generally rarer and have had more years of not being produced. Have been looking for something interesting to collect long term, that will hold or increase value, think I’ve found it. Some recent historically significant designs, gold, affordable price point for modern coins with the the option of also collecting old coins alongside new makes the half sovereign pretty appealing to me. Have already ordered the memorial half, coronation is next, think I’ll then start chasing down the interesting modern designs. Apart from your channel where can I find good info on half sovereigns?

yes the diameter for a half is actually quite big compared to a tenth Oz and not actually that small compared to a full

Gold fever.

Fantastic that's starting to look like a nice handful of gold you got there keep up the good stuff

I think they're a great size yes. I don't see shields come up that often at bargain prices but when they do I'm shopping
Nice video
Thanks 👍🏼
My first sovereign is half sovereign and my second one is a full sovereign on the way 😁
Fantastic the start of a great stack 👌🏽
I like the halves, suits my budget. I’m more of a collector than a stacker tho
They're a great fractional size. What's one of your favourites?
@@SovereignSaurus Just the humble King George V era, particularly like the Mackennal portrait of George & also the honey gold tone of the coinage
@@geovrex8771 Fine choice!
Is there a strong market for half sovereigns?

Am I sensing a name change? “Half sovereign saurus”!!!
Haha not intentionally just how it's happened. Might be QB Saurus on Friday 😉 Hint hint
Good afternoon Sir.
Afternoon 👍🏼 Thanks for dropping by
Sovereign envy each time
Half the envy today 😁 I should have something a bit special although non sovereigny this week
