Thanks Numi, Nice Video. always buy best quality one can afford.

[@JustChiminin]

Now I know what a "criss-curl" is on a young head Vicky. Great video, thanks.

[@lukeme8304]

Can I ask I have one the same is it common for the reverse to be upside-down

[@yinyangja]

You should change your name to NumiSovereign :D That's a beautiful coin.

[@jakevanevelingen4484]

What a beautiful coin 👌🏻

[@moondogmusic3996]

Good advice as always. Buy what you love and the best examples you can afford.

[@nikhilgoyal007]

Very nice coin! I personally like AU58 grade coins more than MS60/61. Lower grade MS coins look pretty beat up to me and the only reason they are MS is because of luster and full strike. For me however, nice field of 58 is more important than luster with scratches of a 60/61 .

[@lindabreen7352]

Is the new 2019 East India Company Sovereign worth buying. Linda

[@Numistacker]

Probably no

[@GoldenSlumber474]

I purchased an 1864 “Shieldback” Die #96 which is now with NCS for conservation & subsequent grading. I’m hoping it will return as an AU 55-58. Unfortunately, no MS 63 for my coin Mr. Numi

[@markfairfield1552]

Just got my 1st 2 from ebay and checked them with jeweller, not knowledgable enough to know how good the quality is but 1901 and 1913 both look good to me although I don't think they are gradable :)

[@ovidanovi603]

I like the shield coin very much ....i have one AU 58 ....but this one is gorgeous....Happy to see it....

[@mustaqahmed9812]

It's a very nice coin. Despite of some mighty mouse comments you are maintaining a pretty good job. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & coin numi

[@scotmacc]

Nice video. That's a lovely coin. I must say it's the first I have heard about the kiss curl, I will be looking out for it in future. Thanks.

[@robertw9677]

Love to. See close up of th curl you mention of sign of great quaility so i can look for this thanks for sho wing great coin

[@johnmrebic]

Nice to have an example to compare others against! Very nice

[@meteoman7958]

The fields on the obverse are quite exceptional!

[@coindude4837]

Numi. I just want you to know I’m just a simple coin collector from America. I enjoy each of you videos. I didn’t even know what a sovereign was until you introduced them to me via your channel. I feel as if I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. It saddens me when I read caustic comments left by some arrogant viewers. Please remember that simple guys like me look forward to ALL of your videos. Kill them with kindness my friend. Semper Fidelis from a U.S. Marine. Dave

[@Numistacker]

Thanks for your comments and service. There are always a few haters but the good guys outnumber the bad ones 99:1 so the channel is there for the good guys.

[@33commonsenseguy]

reminds me of the US gold "coiled hair" coin

[@stevenknopf2353]

Enjoy this beautiful shield back, one of the nicest sovereigns shown in your videos

[@Numistacker]

Thanks Steven

[@SaintOsburg]

she is a beauty :)

[@davidbourton5744]

Hi Numi, I really enjoy your video's, in this one you mention Andrew Holds coin dealer using ebay, can you give out the name that he uses on ebay, I would dearly love to find a shop on ebay that sells quality coins that I can bid on when funds are available. Keep up the great work, many thanks

[@Numistacker]

Aholds.ms-69 on eBay

[@davidbourton5744]

Thank you for that, I look forward to watching many more of your video's.

[@ovidanovi603]

Just lovely... ☺️

[@667hodge]

Do you have an 1841 Shieldback?

[@Numistacker]

Only in my dreams

[@667hodge]

Numistacker There was one that sold for £7000 at the London Coin Auction back in March

[@alexanderrdevoogt3235]

Very nice coin and a great pickup, no matter what bully Crown thinks.

[@alexanderrdevoogt3235]

Crown Collector never a fan, your like an itch I cant get rid off!, very annoying😬😛 talk is cheap why don't you show your collection?

[@alexanderrdevoogt3235]

Crown Collector if I can make video's without your sponsorship,you can certainly do it without mine because you are The All Mighty Crown ain't ya! Let's see all that might then..

[@alexanderrdevoogt3235]

Crown Collector what coins do you concider as "the real stuff" then? I know you don't like the modern stuff with High premiums. But I have trouble/doubts buying lets say a 200 year old 25 gr 72% silver coin for 500€. Can you enlighten me O great and mighty Crown.

[@alexanderrdevoogt3235]

Crown Collector okey let's take a 100 year old 25gr 72% silver coin that cost 200€ then.

[@alexanderrdevoogt3235]

Crown Collector all kidding aside I think you know what I'm trying to say. For now I rather buy a 2018 30gr .999 silver panda for 28€ then a 1843 2,5 Gulden 25 gr .945 silver for 275€. That's a lot of money for a little bit of old silver.
