Let’s talk Elizabeth II Gold Sovereigns | 1984 Proof arrives

The British gold sovereign is becoming more and more connected and desired throughout the world. A beautiful 1984 Proof Sovereign arrived and what better excuse to take a look at the 80s 90s and 2000s in terms of Sovereigns and portraits could there be?

This portrait of Liz is the best imo.

[@MattyRox]

Gorgeous coins. All of them.

[@deanwest]

I really like the gold sovereign, it's just not in my budget to collect them, so I appreciate seeing them on your channel.

[@j.rastusrat4647]

When I watch your unboxing videos it is like window shopping. This post is more like a master class. Please do more of these when you have the time.

[@robertw9677]

Thanks really appreciate it

[@stevenknopf2353]

Beautiful sovereign, enjoy your purchase

[@FL70NJ]

Thank you for the brief history of the '74 to '06 Sovereigns!! I appreciate it and look forward to more of your insight on the Sovereign!!

Bullion Exchanges,LLC has random Elizabeth II proof Sovs for 340$.Thats not a bad price

[@GoldenSlumber474]

I recently picked up the same coin for US$304 ($400 Cdn) at my local bullion dealer of all places. Had my choice of a few Edward VII & George V bullion sovereigns and the 84 proof for the same price so I obviously grabbed the proof.

I hope to buy a sovereign some day, just beautiful.

[@SaintOsburg]

Great video. I enjoyed the little bit if history :)

Thanks numis any idea on 5 pound mintage in 1984?

[@Numistacker]

Hi Robert I will try to find some details of the 5 pound mintage

[@silvergoldking]

Very nice coin. I bought one off eBay a few months back. I took it to the Long Beach coin show a few weeks ago and gave it to NGC for grading. When it comes back I'll let you know what grad they gave it. I also asked them to grad my 2 struck on the day sovereign. They claimed they had no clue of what they were. And would only give me a 200 Anniversary label. Do you think that's ok or should it say stuck on the day? I have all the original boxes and receipts. I now have them posted on eBay.
Thanks Silver King

[@Numistacker]

They will give it a 200 anniversary Plain Edge designation and rated as MS DPL. It will not say strike on the day but it does not matter.

[@hecklarandkoch]

Will the Royal Canadian Mint ever mint Sovereigns again?

[@Numistacker]

Seems unlikely but never say never

[@heavyt5702]

Cheers, Numi. Enjoyed this video, very engaging and educational. As a rule, I prefer to keep Proof Sovereigns in their original box rather than getting them slabbed by NGC, unless they’re particularly rare. I’ve got a couple of proofs like this that aren’t in the best condition (e.g. fingerprints from previous owner!), do you think these could be sent to NCS for conservation and returned to me without having to go through the slabbing process with NGC?

[@meteoman7958]

A gentle application of dish detergent and good rinse under the tap will get rid of finger prints on gold. Pat dry with paper towel.

[@Numistacker]

I have found that hot water and good quality washing up liquid like fairy liquid works very well the problem is drying them without any marks on them but generally fingerprints are easily removed. Up to last year I kept my proof Sovereigns in their original boxes and 2/3 are still in their original boxes however. I can see, particularly for special date sovereigns it makes some sense to have them slabbed and graded.

[@dwingsworld2581]

Gorgeous design and really looks amazing in hand. Thanks for all the information and sharing buddy!!

[@donaldinnewmexico]

Hi Numi. Good luck with the grading. *:-)*

[@alexanderrdevoogt3235]

I like the sovereigns more and more 😁 thanks for the show👍

[@SemiNumiGuy]

Always enjoy watching your sovereign videos. Especially timely for me since I started watching The Crown on Netflix. I've also managed to pick up a few proof sovereigns on eBay for a little over $300, so patience can pay off.

[@CryoGenUK]

Very informative, thank you. I don't have any sovereigns and they'll most probably be forever out of my league. Nice to see yours though, thanks for sharing. :D

[@thebirdman5331]

very nice video on the early QE2 proof sovs! I to have the 84 with that new York certificate as well as the 83! stranger still the 86 has on the certificate not to be sold in the usa!! look forward to more vids on the sovereign

[@robertw9677]

I bought the 1984 5pound sov don’t know if it was a good pickup but price was good

[@meteoman7958]

Thanks for the mintage numbers Numi, they cleared up some confusion for me. I have 13,000 for the 1985 five sovereign proof. Does that agree with your records?

[@thebirdman5331]

maximum issue was 25,500 proof of which 12,500 reserved in the 4 coin set.marse and spinks has the single proof at 11,393

[@meteoman7958]

Thanks birdman, so that looks like 23,893 were issued if there were in fact 12,500 4 coin sets sold.
