Amazeballs here's five of the very best sovereigns ever!

Is a privilege to see this rare coins... Thank you so much Russell for this piece of history you show us...

Seems a couple of people don’t like the video )) as usual

Numistacker the 1863 with die stamp 827 on base of truncheon, were made to purchase corn in America, during the American war of Independence. This code was used, so that the Royal mint, knew they were to be used for the payment, by the British Government. The reason 827 code was used, was the number of sovereigns produced, because as you also said, both die numbers were used, and none die numbers produced in 1863. This 827 was stamped, so that would not get mixed up at the mint, with the others of 1863. They are indeed very rare, normal die number types and none dies are equal and common.

[@philippayne4951]

Sorry correction the American Civil war of 1861 to 1865.

[@Numistacker]

I had not heard that story and it is a great explanation. There are possibly undiscovered ones still that may creep out the woodwork

[@philippayne4951]

@@Numistacker It was a problem for the British Government then, because the corn was bought from the confederates with these sovereigns. Britain was more in favour with the yanks, then the confederates at that time, so it was a problem, by supporting the confederates. It was because of the slave trade, which as you know we abolished in 1807, which of course the confederates would not. But Britain had then a wheat famine, so we had to buy the corn. I think the yanks sank some of the confederate corn ships, but most got through to us, but it must of caused a stir with relations.

[@philippayne4951]

@@Numistacker Most of them were returned to the Royal mint for melting sometime after the civil war, in other payments to Britain for other sales. Very few remain now, and are highly sought after.

Love your in-depth videos about sovereigns Numi. You do them well & you do a great service for all us collectors.

[@Numistacker]

Gary thanks very much I’m just lucky that I get so video such nice stuff

[@jwt4810]

I love the coat of arms on the old sovereigns. Pistrucci's are great too but there's just something about Shield Back versions I really love. Great Coins!!!

[@Numistacker]

Me too particularly proof ones like the 1839

[@scotmacc]

A fine display. You can name these coins with confidence. The magnificent 5. Cheers.

[@frankad157]

Really AMAZING !!! Love gold Sovereigns ! YOU are very lucky to handle this kind of rarities in person ! Thank you for letting us enjoy them too !!!

[@667hodge]

The London Mint started to produce the Sovs with die numbers halfway through 1863 to help with production and quality control. I believe the only die numbers known to exist were from 1-24.1864,1865,1871,1874 had die number 35

[@markclarke8150]

Thanks Numi, I learned two things I hadn’t even thought about from your video. It’s great that you get to handle such valuable coins and grab the images. I’m glad to have met you and use you to submit my coins. Good work

[@Numistacker]

I love being able to show god content when I get the chance

[@martyt1166]

Lovely rare sovereigns , I have a 1863 gold Sovereign which has an off centre die axis which means once the sovereign is flipped over the head is at not exactly opposite as it should be , Marsh doesn't mention anything about these sovereigns but I have seen another 1863 gold sovereign off centred listed in the Bentley collection .

[@Numistacker]

Sounds like a rare find

[@artsed08]

Had no idea of the existence of the 1830 William IV sov... Buttery and bright, it looks like it's just come out of the Mint. Beauty!

[@stackstacksaveuk5350]

awesome video numi, sovs are my fav gold coin, i have a Victorian London mint and a Melbourne Victorian half,,, i now have to get the microscope out now and really have a good look at them. engravers, artists are always putting hidden messages in their art...makes it all more interesting indeed. the George the 3rd bull, and the William 4 sovereigns are superb. must get more sovereigns for my collection... i just sent my first batch of 3 ancients off to NGC for grading...so excited to see them come back in the post...

[@chrispyskiwiadventures3583]

Oh wow I’ve gotta stop drooling 🤣🤣🤣 Sovereigns are my all time favourite gold coins. Morgan Dollars are my favourite silver coins. Great presentation bro👍👍

[@meteoman7958]

You gave me a moment there, Numi. I had to pause the video and run down to see my 1863 sovereign, which turned out to have WW on the truncation, (my run of die numbered coins doesn't start until 1864). I added another two proof sovereigns to my collection yesterday. This time they were a 1979 and a 1981. On closer inspection, the '79 turned out to be weakly struck, with all the high spots on both the obverse and reverse being soft. I questioned wear, but no, the otherwise pristine coin just hadn't fully filled the dies. Coming at spot + 2%, I can't complain, but it makes a filler until a replacement comes along. #46.

[@Numistacker]

You must have a. 827 tucked away somewhere surely?

[@gArroyo1099]

Absolutely stunning sovereigns Numi I love them

[@officeguy3]

Thank you Numi for a look at those amazing coins. I will have to dig out my books on sovereigns to see if they say anything about die 35. Thanks again Numi for a fantastic video.

I love sovereigns and so loved this video. Also leaned a lot. Thanks.

The 1923 South Africa Sovereign was there first run of coins produced under the Union of South Africa. Gorgeous coin. I am on the look out for one.

[@Numistacker]

They exist but are very difficult to find and very expensive

[@SilverLimey79]

@@Numistacker I think there are only a few hundred pieces.

[@des9498]

Have a really good look it's most probably a mistake and just a impaired proof ?

[@SilverLimey79]

Great selection bud! You have some great stuff on display!

[@braden6992]

Truly amazing beauties! Do you happen to know what years were the shield back sovereigns?

[@gunnareinarsson6590]

About sovereigns, since I'm a beginner stacker who got into gold bullion only this last December, I have a question. Three of my Elizabeth II sovereigns (two "Decimals" (1978) and a "Wreath" (1966)) have special markings on top of the Pistrucci design. To the right is a stamp that seems to denote carat ("23 K", and as it seems, "20 K", respectively) while on the top left there is a sign that looks like a blob but actually reveals a crown. Does anybody know what these markings are, since they don't appear to be standard on sovereigns? Especially the supposed carat designations are perplexing, as all sovereigns are supposed to be 22 carat gold, or "crown gold", as it were. Comments invited!

[@realryal8317]

Outstanding video. Outstanding content. Thanks for these educational and inspiring videos!!!

Glad to be of service

[@don951]

Very nice! I'll take one of each... not greedy at all.

I can say, with hand on heart, I haven't got any of those.

[@Numistacker]

Nor have I ))

[@kol8582]

Awesome collection!

[@QPRTokyo]

Thank you.

[@coreymerrill3257]

Could 827 be initials; hbg? Or maybe its a set of test coins for a trial for maybe picking an artist without influence of name ? Just a few ideas to ponder. Great videos. It is probably abit expensive for me, but how does one go about sending coins and fees for the group ngc coin submissions? Wow that is the first pcgs slab i have ever seen on this channel!i i didnt even know you showed anything besides ngc

[@1954307]

amazing set of coins and a very interesting video numi brilliant

[@Numistacker]

Thanks I was lucky to be able to see them

[@numismaticmaster8612]

I love the Sovereigns, but I mostly stick to the bullion. From time to time, I'll get a nice Sovereign, but I mostly stick to bullion because I still find beauty in it for a relatively inexpensive price.

Wheres the 1841 sov 1887 s mint sovereign ,1920 s mint sovereign worth at least £750,000😊
