Finally got myself some gold. I have a little gold and i always love getting it. This time i decided to buy a 2017 full sovereign. This is the first normal sovereign i have ever brought, i own a 2011 half which was gifted to me and i have the 2017 struck on the day which i bought from britcoin on here. This time round, i was placing a silver order and did not really see any extra's i wanted so thought, get a sovereign. It arrive in a small baggie so i have ordered a few caps from eBay.
The gold Sovereign is the Royal Mints flagship coin with over billion said to have been minted. The 2017 has an additional privy mark as an acknowledgement of the 200th anniversary. Each coin is struck with 22 carrot gold to the weight of 7.988g which has a purity of 916.7 gold otaling to just under a 1/4 oz. These coins are fantastic value for money, they are always closest to spot and by far the most easy to flip when the time comes. The coins diameter is 22.05mm and are shipped in capsules from the mint. If you buy from another source, it is unlikely to arrive in a capsule.
This is one of those special coins that everybody in the UK knows. Most people will have no idea what a panda, lunar, kooks ect are, some will know what a britannia is, but everyone in the UK know's a gold sovereign is worth something. I have messed up my silver stack by buying eveything and anything i wanted, now i have a big headache when it comes time to sell and get max premium. With gold, i will try to only stack sovereigns. They cheapest to buy, easy to flip and the thought of having 25 sovereign's so i can own a full tube gives me a semi :)
Ladonna is a beast and half the value :)
