Nice set i have the same set and graded mine. All 70.s apart from the 5 sovereign. Maybe the best special sovereign so far

[@SovereignSaurus]

Fantastic nice to get mostly high grades too

[@davidfarmer9118]

"And so to bed" beautiful touch at the end. Regards

[@SovereignSaurus]

👍🏼

[@theurbancoincollector]

Very nice !! One of, if not my favourite design sovereign, you do appear to be a happy custodian of that set. Congratulations 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 No regrets 👌🏽

[@SovereignSaurus]

Thanks I thought you might like it going off your profile picture 😁 I could have a few nice George sovs that I could play with though 🤔

[@nickgardener5802]

If only they made something this good for the Coronation sets. Missed opportunity. Awesome set.👏

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yes agreed. I prefer the portrait style than seated on the throne design but the obverse is fantastic

[@craigmcdonald8539]

I love the smell of these old sets, it’s a smell you can’t explain. I have a set of 1987 Britannias and you can smell it as soon as you open the door. Nice set by the way ❤

[@SovereignSaurus]

Smells a bit like the 80s 😁

[@transientstacker4310]

You’re becoming a Sovereign collector now.

[@SovereignSaurus]

🤣 Shhhhh

[@chrislumb963]

Absolutely stunning looking coins. I love that both sides of the coins are different to usual sovereigns, normally when its a special sovereign its only the reverse that's changed.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yes I feel like this is one of the most special special years if that makes sense

[@chrislumb963]

@@SovereignSaurus Indeed it's special because it's so special! The reason I like the new Coronation sovereign is that it's got a special obverse which is very rare.

[@SovereignSaurus]

@@chrislumb963 Yes, likely one to hold on to I just struggle to overcome the stacker inside me

[@albertboulderwardthe3rd590]

They are on the buy list, probably staying there as well 🤣

[@SovereignSaurus]

🤞🏽🤞🏽

[@dleetr]

Nice present for yourself.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yeah just thinking of all the bullion sovs I could have instead though 🤣

[@dleetr]

@@SovereignSaurus As long as it holds it's value, it's all good. Unlike a new lounge suit or other nonsense like that. (: But yeah, did you get a few bullion coronation sovs then?

[@slightlytwistedagain]

The East India Company has done their own double sovereign with the Tudor Rose. It's a very beautiful design that I think is superior to the 1989 version. Only downside is the awful effigy of Elizabeth that plague the coins not designed by the Royal Mint.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Thanks for sharing, there are some nice designs out there. Do they only have it as a double size?

[@slightlytwistedagain]

@@SovereignSaurus Yeah, it's only a proof double sovereign. Only 50 of them have been minted.

[@garryharpham7745]

You can buy a bullion five pound it’s a low mintage of 2937 it’s a bunc proof like

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yes you're right there is a BU version but the proof was only available within the 4 coin set

[@rfbftp123]

Nice coins!

[@SovereignSaurus]

Thanks 👍🏼

[@johnlee4897]

Beyond gorgeous set. Begging to be conserved and graded to remove 34 years worth of dust and grime. I can imagine it costs way more than 3,300 in inflation adjusted pounds to purchase it these days.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Yes if you see them for 3300 and it's real buy them all haha. Just considering whether to grade

[@Stevenharknett]

I had mine conserved and graded. Damp squib. The 5 sov only got a PF65.

[@golddiggerdave]

Some interesting facts. The Royal Mint could not sell all these sets and many were melted down as they were not liked by collectors at first. There is a £5bu with an ugly U on the obverse. The single in the RM box are difficult to come by. Nice to see you get some proof sovereigns!

[@SovereignSaurus]

I did see one of those with that strange privvy type mark for sale a while ago yes. I enjoyed reading up a bit about them just thinking how many bullion sovs I could get instead though.... 🤔🤣

[@golddiggerdave]

@@SovereignSaurus you know these sets will always increase in price retail these are 9-10k sets now.

[@SovereignSaurus]

@@golddiggerdave Yeah I just dread one day when I'm at the deposit box and take a quick peek and see a giant copper spot out of nowhere haha

[@ianbird7444]

1989 is for art off the highest quality for me the 2017 comes a close 2nd 😊

[@SovereignSaurus]

2017 is a great coin though I've not got one .... yet

[@ianbird7444]

My favourite sovereign design just need the 5 sov to complete the full 2017 releases for that year 😊

[@ShinyPreciousMetals]

Amazing! Did you buy this on its release?

[@SovereignSaurus]

Unfortunately not and not at the release price either 🤣

[@christophermccormick8670]

Fabulous! Cheers 🥃

[@SovereignSaurus]

🍻👍🏼

[@Stevenharknett]

My 1992 1 sov gave me much more pleasure.

[@SovereignSaurus]

That's great. There's something for everyone plenty of coins to go for

[@upasaka259]

Sell me the Half 🙏

[@SovereignSaurus]

Everything is for sale at the right price

[@mattslivar5174]

My avrage sallary is 1100€

[@Stevenharknett]

Overrated in my estimation and hard to get a decent grading out of.

[@SovereignSaurus]

Quite possibly better value options out there. Not sure if I'll go down the grading route yet
