4 Gold Sovereigns I Need To Warn You About

[@jamiefrost2091]

You’ve excelled once again in bringing out the sovereigns👍 . Happy Days Jamie🙋🏻‍♂️.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Once I get the last George I'll do an update video on the full run😁

[@jamiefrost2091]

Definitely looking forward to that 👌. Thanks

[@andrewchant7862]

I just love goldsovereigns ! I just love the history tied up in each coin and the tells it could tell if it could speak ! I buy them as often as money allows 😊

[@mint_mark]

The rotations are called coin alignment and medal alignment. For the 1887s I also noticed that George has streamers behind his helment on one coin, but not on the other.

[@EveryCloud9999]

Nice that you have achieved the date runs and always love seeing all your Sovereigns. I’m stacking value Sovereigns at the moment, but who knows, I’m sure if after a few more years of stacking when I have many more and if I notice by chance I have a collection with a potential run, I’d probably go for it 👌

[@SovereignSaurus]

On the whole most of my sovs have come from best value or at least best value type prices. The date run isn't realistically going to add any value to my stack if I were to sell to a dealer it's unlikely to gain anything extra and in the private market it's unlikely someone would want to buy a whole date run... Best value is a great plan.

[@philippayne4951]

This accured, because in 1887 Queen victoria had her golden jubilee. The jubilee head was used in1887 in the UK, but their was not time to ship the new jubilee type to Australia, in time, so Sydney mint new South Wales at the beginning of 1887 had the young head, then the middle of 1887 they received the new jubilee head dies from the Royal mint then London. This was also the same for Melbourne mint. The same same accured in 1893 Australia had the jubilee head, then near the end of 1893 changed to old head design. All the dies were prepared at the Royal mint then London and shipped out to Australia.

For some reason KZbin deleted my reply. it's a good point thank you for bringing it up

[@philippayne4951]

@@SovereignSaurus I can give you lots more information concerning sovereigns and Half's, as I have all the information from all mints, if you are interested, just let me know. I have collected for over 50 years.

[@emperorwang0861]

Great video! I'm an American who enjoys sovereigns

[@SovereignSaurus]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@des_smith7658]

​@SovereignSaurus can you tell me a bit about die numbers

[@properjob2311]

I am stacking Britannias but recently bought my first Sovereign - like the idea of starting a collection eg. try to get all different heads.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yes that's a nice starting point to compliment the Brits

[@matthewvaughan1200]

I'm in britannias 1oz silver coins as well beautiful coin also want to build a collection of sovereigns but lately IV been distracted by the 1oz American eagles and a whole bunch of USA silver like the 1oz standing liberty and the 999.9 peace dollar and 999.9 Morgan and the draped bust and barber 999.9 s all beautiful coins and a massive distraction from gold but non - the less still a great investment 👍

[@danielt879]

Excellent video.. Loved seeing all those sovereigns.. 😀

[@357.SwampFox]

Hi friend, new sub here. Love the sovereigns and love your videos and interesting content related to coins and especially sovereigns. Thank you.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Awesome, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video too

[@tonysfossickingadventure.8124]

thank you for that information, i was wondering about my 1879 M sovereign.

[@harryzero1566]

BTW, I've seen a jubilee head shield back, but only in a half sovereign, I cannot find any definitive information stating that full sovereign equivalents were not produced

[@SovereignSaurus]

I've not seen one available, they're not listed in Marsh book or Spink. There is a great resource for the Jubilee heads and you might have heard them referred to as DISH numbered. David Iverson and Steve Hill's initials I assume.... Can't find it on Amazon but try this www.baldwin.co.uk/product/the-jubilee-head-gold-sovereign-1887-1893/#tab-description

[@ZeGamblah]

​@@SovereignSaurusHi mate loving all the videos you have. Saw this comment thread and my old man recently gave me two half sovereigns, 1891+1892 Shield backs, both are Jubilee heads too.

[@sergionotarpippo7660]

Love them coins got two to go for half old heads 1894 and five got one half jubilee 1887 primiums are so high at the moment keep searching top video once again 💯

[@SovereignSaurus]

My favourite half that I've owned is probably the 1887 Jubilee. The shield, the colour, just a great coin

[@WhooshFlyingHorse444]

Thanks, great and very helpful information.

[@SovereignSaurus]

👍🏼

[@HoldFast-r7g]

So what's the warning?

[@silverbullet2008bb]

Where do you buy them from?

[@matthewvaughan1200]

Iv recently purched some gold sovereigns from ebay and im new to sovereigns, iv had people tell not to buy sovereigns from ebay, should i be worryed iv purchased fake coins and how can i test if they are real or not i dont have access to a xrf , i took them to my local jeweller to have them tested but they wanted to scrach them on to a stone and do a acid test so i didn't have that test done cos these sovs are high grade and i paid a large premium to get them, i know how to teat silver the ping,the magnet the weight and measurement tests is there a similar way to test gold ?

[@SovereignSaurus]

Are you local to any bullion dealers specifically that have experience in coins? Definitely don't get them scratched or it will basically render them as scrap gold whether or not they're genuine.

[@sobhymahrous-v7r]

I need to know price of each

[@nightwalker5278]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@SovereignSaurus]

My pleasure!

[@luke.k1.]

Hello mate, thanks for the information 👍 regarding the best buy option on the sovereigns, and the new copper colour. At what ratio do you get the old-school gold colour ones vs the new copper colour in those best buy deals? I normaly buy from atkinsons, looking to get my first one in afew weeks, just trying learn as much as I can before hand. Cheers mate 🍻

[@SovereignSaurus]

It's hard to say as it depends what stock they have I guess. You could get anything

[@transientstacker4310]

That one coin flips the American way. It’s like a British car with the steering wheel on the left side.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yeah that's it. The Victoria's 1887 and prior are the American way

[@joshbamber]

Hi Saurus! Enjoy your videos. Do you sell or plan on selling any duplicates you have?

[@SovereignSaurus]

From time to time I do or sometimes swap but I'm still overall accumulating even though it means duplicates.

[@wayno-ms1gm]

We have a 1886 gold sovereign with a gold pin and fine chain, do you know if its worth something???

[@patrickroytoddstephen2017]

Just want to pick your brain… I have 5 sovereign coin with the old Victoria face on it …. I bought it 40 years ago … just wondering if it’s worth anything? Cheers

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yes, this video might help. If it's a 5 sovereign coin the condition will play an important part. Trying to get more than the simple bullion value from most dealers is difficult though many simply won't pay the true value with the collector premium because they need a margin to make a profit. There's a website called coin archives you could search for the specific date you have and see comparable prices for the same coin in similar condition. This video might help too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKbanWecf62oha8

[@365DaysofSilver]

Great video, really love seeing your sovereign collection ❤

[@SovereignSaurus]

Hoping to get the date run together for a video in the next month or two. I'm now 1 date away from stage one 🤣

[@acem7749]

Awesome. Real treasure

[@voracioust2499]

So all these sovereigns are real and not fake

[@SovereignSaurus]

Correct

[@garryallison4716]

What happened with the guy with the fake coins. Were they still gold but fake?

Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@harryzero1566]

I've got those two dates with the different heads, 'warning me' got me worried. Also I've got a young head shield and a George and Dragon of the same date Previous to this content I was quite chuffed that I acquired the anomalies. I never thought about date runs, Just checked gillick 1957 - 1968 (1960 and 1961 n/a ?). Were there any later gillicks after 1968? Edward 1902 - 1910, ok George 1911 - 1932+++++++ huge gaps, 1916, 1919 - 1924, 1929, 1930, 1933 - ........................ Then Queen Elizabeth starting 1957. Could anyone reading this hypothetically fill my gaps (1911 through to the mid 1930s)?

[@SovereignSaurus]

When I first realised to dates with different portraits I had a quick shot of adrenaline wondering if I'd got something dodgy until I realised 🤣 Similar with the first young heads that are in coin alignment rather than the more recent sovs 1887 onward in medal alignment

[@greekstacker]

A must for all that collect - stack sovereigns is Michael Marsh's book "The Gold Sovereign". I hate the Jubilee Head, I don't know why but it just looks funny to me :) :)

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yes I have a link to it in the video description. A great book even if you just like looking at pictures 😁

[@NGRevenant]

everyone hated the jubilee head when it was released which is why it only lasted five years lol

[@SovereignSaurus]

@@NGRevenant Ahh interesting, a thought I never considered

[@des_smith7658]

I like that small crown, it looks kind of funny

[@garryharpham7745]

There diffrent mints that’s all nothing wrong with them

[@SovereignSaurus]

Thanks for stopping by

[@philippayne4951]

You may also be interested to know, that female sovereigns in the old day's in Muslim countries were considered inferior to male sovereigns, and we're rated lower then male sovereigns, but today they are now both equal to each other.

[@SovereignSaurus]

That's interesting to know thanks I hadn't heard that before

[@jarhead0163]

Lol nice information

[@AynaShakeela]

I have one coin
