Why buy the 2025 gold sovereign?

[@XYZ-ef3mo]

I fall into the I don't care, lowest spot price possible, CGT exempt category. I never look at anything I've bought after initially checking the order.

[@Goldylocksss]

ABSOLUTELY fully agree with you, me too👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SovereignSaurus]

It might well be the best stacking strategy 👍🏼

[@RLC-t1x]

If I'm going to spend a bunch of money on a gold sovereign, I want it to have the color of gold. Not a copper round. I'm looking forward to 2026 when they switch back, and I'll be a buyer again.

[@jamiefrost2091]

Wise words on watering down the “special year” sovereigns🙆‍♂️. Still can’t beat the color of the older sovs.😍. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas 🎅.

They did 2025 St George proofs as well. Just to really squeeze the wallet if the completist.

Nice video ty:) I'm going have to save a few months but I want to get the 2024 or 2025 double sovereign and after save for the new type as a double sovereign (2026) as these seem like a neat coin in hand to own (my only sovereign is a copper color normal one:). And after that a 1 and 4 ducat they seem cool too:) Have a nice Christmas time Sovereign Saurus and everyone🙂

The '26 needs to be matte or silk finish as well like the old-school ones.

[@KH0RIUM]

It's a beautiful coin, Have mine. I was going to buy more but I decided this month to put more into the S&P 500, but will def buy January.

[@transientstacker4310]

It looks like a proof coin. I like the screw top capsule

[@BogusDudeGW]

The other point about the older sovs is being able to assign the 'collector' label to yourself for official means. I was looking to grab myself one for xmas but Chards have some real good deals on the 1/4 Tudor Beasts atm (not much more than a sov) so grabbed a Bull for the collection instead.

[@Goldylocksss]

Yep, just bought 5 of them from Chards at best current price anywhere for that Tudor Beast coin😊😊

[@christophermccormick8670]

YELLOW GOLD YES!!!!!

[@jeffhuxton828]

I have just started my sovereign journey of collecting last month so excuse my ignorance. Being a novice I tentatively bought some quarter sovereigns (2017) and some Hatton war 1/4 sovereigns. Any views/advice from Folk would be fully welcomed. Thanks in advance.

[@Flumpsarus]

Nice video mate! Personally I prefer the older style colour so looking forward to what the mint come up with for the 2026 version. Currently waiting on 2 x mixed dates full and 2 x half mixed dates sovereigns rocking up from Atkinsons! Merry Christmas 👍

[@davidfarmer9118]

I just got 10 (mixed dates) halves with Charly and 2024 on them. Silly me. Regards

[@Flumpsarus]

@ blimey, that’s not exactly mixed 😅 I’ll let you know what I land! Cheers 👍

[@Flumpsarus]

@@davidfarmer9118 1894 & 1907 half. 1892 & 1911 full 👍

[@ChrisMaggiano-ic2pq]

I wouldn't mind some of the newer Sovereigns but not a fan of the Rose Gold. Personally, I also really like the history of the older coins. Oldest one I have is from 1850, the Samurai were still around. But if I have a choice between old gold and new gold and the price is the same. I'll take old gold every day.

[@gohstkilla5160]

It dont really matter sovereigns are sovereigns

[@dleetr]

Got my first non rose gold Sov last week. 1891, haven't looked for a mint mark, have to do that.

[@JamieSmithlovesJesus]

I bought the 2025 proof and the George IV where this year’s design came from. I do think this years special sovereign in pretty good because they’re pretty limited in mintage vs the coronation, platinum jubilee and memorial. The 1826 coin I got in that set is a beautiful gold colour it’s a shame the rose gold on the proof, I’m glad they’re changing but hope no special design again.

[@dleetr]

@@JamieSmithlovesJesus Yes, that was a cool set. So they gave you a nice example (within reason of course), good to hear. Something people do moan about.

[@theonlyDerp]

Im thinking of swapping a 58 elizabeth normal sovereign for the 2025 proof shield half sov. Bad idea? 😅

[@albertboulderwardthe3rd590]

Last of the Rose gold sovereigns (for now) 😁

[@ozyrob1]

Hopefully the new gold sovs won't have the polished looking reflective background. Just like the older ones is the go.

[@JamieSmithlovesJesus]

Modern sovereigns and krugers are the same alloy and they are both very red compared to eagles.

[@Mark-u7u]

I might sound like a sovereign snob for this, but I like sovs that were in circulation, pre-elizabeth, although gillicks are nice coins, the copper ones are too shiny like a proof, they don't seem to have any lustre, I don't seem to mind paying a few % above spot for something that ticks all the boxes of what I think makes a quality gold coin

[@XYZ-ef3mo]

I've been reading both bullish and bearish predictions for gold in 2025. What's your forecast?

[@mitchrils]

Nobody knows mate its like predicting the stock market

[@Prethen]

I'm very confused by that 2025 sovereign. It's not lustrous. It has proof/mirrored fields. How is it not a proof?

[@mitchrils]

I’m guessing you’ve never seen a proof sovereign? The finish is obviously bullion standard

[@colinmoody8402]

Charles was not crowned. That? Is why he Does it not have Have one.

[@titiung]

Old coin is better, full of history, culture. I always like the feeling that I'm holding a gold coin that has been changing countless hands in the past.
