This is a video I'm going to say for years! It serves as an outstanding primer for British gold coins. The time it took to do the research is greatly appreciated, and I appreciate the history lesson as well. Thanks for your time and effort.
I agree with your distinction between £5 commemorate and 5 sovereign pieces. It probably extends to the £2 coin and double sovereign, although I know some sovereign year sets come with a £2 commemorative coin so the lines are blurred. The special design year 5 sovereign pieces will always hold their value but I'm not so sure about the £5's especially modern ones at £2000+ Impressive coins but I don't think of them as investment potential over and above the metal content.
AG Smith i think that you have safety on your side which is not bad. Things are a little bit crazy at the moment. A while back I remember using some nectar points to buy a generic sovereign for around 160 pounds now generic Sovs are 292 pounds. I do find it very difficult to think of the 292 pound Sovereign as offering value for money but I may be wrong
Nice size to these 5 pound coins and crowns and a real treat to see the hyper rare Reddite crown of Charles II. Thanks for the background info - always learning.
Lovely exhibition of £5 coins, I enjoyed it :) It truly is eye candy... I also really love the royal coin designs, as you do. Unfortunately not in my affordability range at the moment, but I hope to acquire one or a few later on. I think in the UK we are fortunate to have the monarchy and the 1,000-year old Royal Mint, producing very uniquely royal designs. It has an official, authentic feel to it.
Hi Numi, Very much enjoyed watching these. Would love the George birth one and the most recent George offering but they were only in the big gold sets. Way out of my league. Keep up the good work
It's now 2024, I have a nice collection of £2 Sovereigns of different designs and a few silver crowns, half crowns and florins. Quite big enough for me. However my different 1oz design Britannias more than compensate for not paying OTT for scarce £5 Sovereigns.
Everyone talks about the coin itself, but not what these coins were used for buying or more likely as an easier means to transfer to banks, or other nations to pay for supplies or whatever. What the conversion rates were for other nations and how gold was used by the different classes and what that purchased. Might be an interesting topic to cover if viewers are interested.
Enjoy’ed the video I bought seven gold coins made in 22c gold of all the UK coins 1 p all the way to the £1 coin but all gold hope I didn’t make a mistake what do you think I’m just a novice stacker
Numistacker no they are all different dates but I did have to search high and low to obtain the penny but got it in the end so no they are no the same date wish they were the same date .But what I can say is I have a full set being every coin in use today from 1Pence upwards
Nice one. The Five Pound Coin polarises the best and worst of coin collecting and Royal commemoration. I agree with you, good if you can pick up at handy price second hand. But great brand new from the mint if you can pick a winner!
Personally, I do buy the bullion five Pound Gold coins, as well as some of the collectable ones. I love them! A good amount of Gold for not too much over spot price for the bullion ones.
Great video! I’ve been trying to collect sovereign sized world vintage gold coins, such as the different sovereigns, 20 francs (Belgium, France, Switzerland, etc...), and even Japanese 10 yen and Cuban 5 pesos. All these coins have a diameter of around 22 mm. Are there other coins that I can add to this list? Thanks numi
Great video. I love the £5 coins they are impressive to hold. Talking about value, I see the 1oz Bullion Queens Beast Lion is selling for £1,892.00 at Royal Mint...pricey. Cheers.
Actually Italy began making large silver coins with a 9 gram Lira in 1474,then Archduke Sigismund minted the 1st true crown sized silver coins,the Guldengroschen in 1486,the Joachimsthaler would come a little later,in 1518
Having 3 large quintuple £5 collectables gold coins in your collection might be worthwhile if post Brexit the Government in a Sterling currency crisis combined with hyperinflation reverts back to pre 1970s gold coin ownership laws in the UK and decides bullion to be illegal to own and only 3 gold collectable coins are allowed during the wealth confiscation that is now about to start.
Also, I don't get why you don't like Silver coins. I like both Gold and Silver, as they are both Precious Metals with intrinsic value. In fact, Silver is more useful in industry, whereas Gold is mostly hoarded. I still like both metals. I will always buy Silver, even if just a small Sixpence.
@@Numistacker, that's the impression I got from this video. So what are your thoughts on things such as proof Silver Eagle, proof Silver Britannias, the Silver proof sets from the US Mint or the Royal Mint, etc.? Also, what do you think of modern Silver bullion coins, even premium coins such as Kooks, Pandas, etc.?
A little off topic but do you have any input into why the 1 ounce gold Britannia coin is so boring! The 2002 panda coin you have descending at the beginning of your videos puts it to shame in terms of artistic effort. I would expect a little more creativity from the Royal Mint.
I agree. I have a 2005 Britannia though and its stunning. The newer Britannia is boring. The Canadian Maple puts them all to shame which is a pity as I am quite patriotic.
@@Numistacker I want them all. Thanks for the show Numi, they are wonderful to look at. Sadly, I have only one five sovereign coin, a proof 1985. The other five pound size coin, being a 1971 Bahamas $100 gold coin. I did buy a 1992 New Zealand $5 gold proof, which was offered as a 4 pound size coin and I suggested it was probably a 5 pound size coin. Much later I discovered it was nearly 6 pounds in weight. Win some....

@@Numistacker I suppose its like the million £ watch. No matter how bad the economy, there will still be people buying them

I could listen to you say “disaster” all day long. Awesome!!!
Hi Numi,
Very much enjoyed watching these.

Keep up the good work

Hi I have a 1999 £5 gold coin brilliant uncirculated. How much is it worth?
For me, the most beautiful of these six large gold coins represented is the five sovereign of 1989.
Great video, great coins. A lot of golden light))
Enjoy’ed the video I bought seven gold coins made in 22c gold of all the UK coins 1 p all the way to the £1 coin but all gold hope I didn’t make a mistake what do you think I’m just a novice stacker
Probably no mistake is this the 2008 set?
Numistacker no they are all different dates but I did have to search high and low to obtain the penny but got it in the end so no they are no the same date wish they were the same date .But what I can say is I have a full set being every coin in use today from 1Pence upwards
Excellent presentation, you are a gentleman and scholar
Thanks very much for watching

Numi you must be a multi millionaire to be looking at and buying all these gold coins!
Collector Guy no just joe average
Personally, I do buy the bullion five Pound Gold coins, as well as some of the collectable ones. I love them! A good amount of Gold for not too much over spot price for the bullion ones.
great video Numi .. i’m really getting into collecting the 5 sovereign over the crown
can be expensive hobby!

Wow Numi those were awesome
brilliant video numi i just love the quintuple coins some of them are really nice..
Thanks very much
Great video. I love the £5 coins they are impressive to hold. Talking about value, I see the 1oz Bullion Queens Beast Lion is selling for £1,892.00 at Royal Mint...pricey. Cheers.
What about 5 shilling coins? Are they the same as the crown?
Did you have these graded Numi or bought them already graded?
Graded already
Actually Italy began making large silver coins with a 9 gram Lira in 1474,then Archduke Sigismund minted the 1st true crown sized silver coins,the Guldengroschen in 1486,the Joachimsthaler would come a little later,in 1518
Thanks as there were conflicting accounts on the web
5 pound: gold content? sizes? weight?

Lovely Coins, but outta my budget. I have a few One Ounce gold coins. Ill keep buying my Sovereigns. Thanks for Showing Them
A sovereign has a value of £1 back in the day so 5 sovs was worth £5 hence £5 or 5sov either one will do
Platinum Skies those 5 Guineas were marvellous!
Don Knizi I also saw some other really amazing coins I’ll post a vid one day of then

Why do you think I don’t like silver? I love Numismatic silver but not a big fan of modern proof silver.

Since when has this copper looking gold become the norm? Or is this just a photo anomaly? Not that I would turn them away!

@@bearlop The Royal mint did a good job with the Cayman Island coin and the Czech coin. They're both really nice.
the 1989 £5 ok the rest will never go up in value no one want them
That’s not true everyone I know wants them
@@Numistacker really key date ones yes
@@Numistacker I want them all. Thanks for the show Numi, they are wonderful to look at. Sadly, I have only one five sovereign coin, a proof 1985.

I gave the thumbs down. Too many adverts. Adverts every 3 minutes is not fun and just greedy.
It’s necessary unfortunately sorry you did not like the way I need to place advertisements.
