I'm in the States, and new to Sovereigns, so this was very helpful to me, I want to get some older ones. I just got the Coronation Sovereign, and the 1/4 oz Gold Coronation coin, both of them are fantastic !!!
Oh, I also got the 1/4oz Coat of Arms, Wow!
Awesome. A lot of people like the modern designs. I like Young Victoria's and George V the best but sovereigns in general are great
I like the scale with the little pan. I too find some of the coins have a slight difference in weight. But other checks usually clear the coin as genuine. Thanks for the Vid. Take care.
Yes I think combining a few checks together is where the power lies. Many counterfeit coins can be detected by a well trained eye
@@SovereignSaurus true
Sound at my end is great 🙆♂️
Thank you for letting me know. 👍🏼
Recently bought a 1910 Edward VII weighing 7.89g from Atkinsons which I am sure was genuine but concerned about the weight they were happy to exchange it for me and sent me a 1907 Edward VII weighing 7.98g😊 good service...
That's good to know thanks for sharing 👍🏼 Did it look badly worn too?
Nice to see the Sovereigns 🙆♂️, btw it always amazes me that they add the ability to weigh coins with such accuracy back in the day!! J
Yes such a simple device but brilliant the old scales
Great video mate 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed
Some old coins here even have clippings because the tax was paid by clipping off a piece of the coin. A numismatic nightmare. 😆
True. I've not come across a clipped sovereign in the flesh I imagine that there are some around though I guess most get scrapped
Where did you get the scales from,? such a good one to have...thanks..
There's a link to the ones I got in the description (I have 2 types, this is the more precise set 50g max in 3 decimal places, the other set is for larger quantities but less precise)
Very many thanks for the reply 😁
Nice videos mate, what camera do you use? :)
It's a Redmi Note camera phone. I'm not too clued up on tech, the camera does the heavy lifting
It would be pretty cool if they would make a Sovereign with Goerge on a T-Rex slaying a dragon 🐉
After all, once you buy up all the Sovereigns they may come to Sovereign Saurus for design suggestions.
Haha yes that's definitely a bit of me
7.937g any less is under weight and loses its legal tender status. There’s also a reason why some dealer keep the worn sovereigns dirty and un-conserved as the dirt is keeping the coins above weight.
Great information Dave 👍🏽
Half a gram of dirt to the rescue 🤣
That must be pay dirt🧐
Is there anyway you can improve on the sound? It comes across very soft even though I have turned the volume up to the max and still struggling to hear you clearly, tks.
Hi thanks for the feedback, I can definitely look into it although it sounds fine on the different devices I test on before releasing. What are you listening from please? Is it just this video?
@@SovereignSaurus It is all the video you put out, the sound is just so soft. I am watching your video from my desk top PC with wired earbuds. Tks for looking into it.
Question - Back in Victorian times, was a Sovereign the same as a Pound?
It has a £1 face value which has been the case since 1817. 👌🏽
+/- 1% on all gov minted coins is the standard tolerance
Not heard that stat before thanks
1st viewer ❤😊
Hopefully not the last 😁

Thank you
Your sound is too low...
Thanks for the feedback is it just this video or is it some of the previous too?
Kicked down the road a bit? I know you Brits like soccer but I hope you’re not kicking gold coins. 😝
🤣 Some recent proof coins I've seen people share pictures of you'd ask the question
Hey, I'm just wondering, what year is the oldest sovereign? And do you own one? Cheers :)
The oldest 'modern' sovereign as we know it is 1817 which is on my shopping list but also in 1489 there was a different coin called a sovereign though it was a different size and weight to the current ones. I'm researching for a couple of video ideas about the history of the original sovs 😁
Cheers. And ya that would make for a good video!@@SovereignSaurus
