I've only just discovered your channel & this is the first of hopefully many more videos I'll be checking out' So Merry Christmas ⛄ to your good-self & all the other viewers enjoying the channel....😃

Awesome coins! Thanks for sharing!

I love Sovs. I started buying them on a whim as they were the only coins that I could afford at that moment. It turns out, I love the selection and the design. I also think that because of the somewhat odd weight, some vendors sometimes price them a few dollars lower than they should be for their weight, much the same way that some dealers misprice old European gold coins a few pennies off, as well.

Always great to go with sovs, it’s a must have gold coin! Happy new year!

Fair play. It was great to hear the excitement. Almost like it's Christmas. Still chuckling.

Nice little batch of soverigns the Jubilees are sweet. Thanks for sharing Merry Christmas

Nice pickups. Love the variety!

About 6 weeks ago I bought 10 best value sovereigns from ATS , I got 10 , 2012s still in royal mint stamped blister pack

Pretty neat to see the 1890s coins. Old stuff is cool!

That was fun. Thank you. 👍

Lovely coins, we always use Hatton Garden metals, great prices and excellent presentation.

Lovely coins.

By far, the sovereigns are the cheapest here in Portugal, usually. I was lucky i found a jeweler that sells me for really low price, he usually even sells me at spot price if it's a full sovereign, since i usually buy halfs. Extremely popular gold coin here

That 2011 looks very much like a proof to me. Great result that.

Swell done Mr BYB, I bought 2 x 2012 sovs some while ago, at the time I couldn't get to like them, and sold them on. I ended up recovering them when I changed strategy in favour of sovs. My second most amazing find was 2002 golden shield anniversary sovs from a pornbrokers, my best being a double proof 2002 sovs from Bullion by Post.

Nice vid. I’m stacking Sovs, 20 Francs, and Krugs. I’m also into the historical ones for sure. I try to only buy XF or better as I worry about content loss with the worn ones. I also stacked multiple historical us quarter, half, eagle and double eagle coins before I got wise on the Sovs and 20 Francs lower overhead for stacking. I like the idea of being able to sell off just a 1/5 or 1/4 oz coin vs trying to find a buyer for a full ounce coin.

@@BackyardBullion Thanks for the reply. Strange why they changed to adding a harder metal (copper) to the alloy rather than silver As the sovereign is now primarily a bullion coin rather than a monetary coin in circulation it doesn’t need to be any more robust than the old ones with silver in them. Maybe they were trying to copy the krugerrand.
