Hi all, As pointed out to me I think I might have got this release a little mixed up. I thought this was the proof release but this was for the bullion versions of the sovereign. Apologies for getting this mixed up.
Sorry but am I missing something, I purchased the 2024 Sovereign in October \ November 2023? Are these different issues? I looked on the Royal Mint web site this morning to see what was available, they seemed to be pushing the 5 coin sets RNLI, Churchill etc. Great video by the way 🙂👍
I’m new to collecting coins, getting into it slowly. Great to watch your videos as it helps a lot. But have to agree with other’s prices from the mint for the new gold proof coins seem so overpriced, I suppose I’ll learn that as I go along. Hopefully with the videos you and others do it will help me on my collecting journey, Keep up the good work and I look forwards to seeing the next video 🙂👍
@@karldawson8832 I think you were right though with it being last year, I got it mixed up. Thought this was the proof release but it was for the bullion versions. Yeah the proofs are a crazy premium and the mint keeps hiking the prices. Its crazy that the jubilee sovereign was £585 and the new ones are £725 just crazy mark up. I find the mint is all about making money at any cost. If you want weight I would stick to bullion sovereign of 1/4oz coins.
I did not buy these when they were released. At £725 for the full sovereign I believe there is no rush and over time they will come onto the secondary market post grading for little premium.
Yet another unnecessary coin. Made for mugs to buy to pay the salaries of Royal Mint Staff. I don't really want them but am willing to buy at spot from those desperate sell.
im not buying the new ones just look at your thumb nail picture their adding more copper to them they look awful and the quality control at the mint crap i will invest my money in other bullion
i @@chrisb.h4605 i know that sovereigns contain copper it help stabilise the gold when sovereigns were legal tender it stopped them scratching and bendingbut the new sovereigns have a colour called rose gold used in jewellery as we all know rose gold contains more copper to get that red colour so if the new sovereigns are the same weight the same diameter and same thickness their using less gold FACT you cant change the law of physics do you trust the royal mint i dont
The mint has moved away from using silver in the coins and replaced with copper. Can't say there is less gold just a change in the metal they alloy it with. Also the images on the website do not do the actual colour any justice in reality, they are nowhere near as pink as they look.
@@the_islandstackeras a English man i would love to stack sovereigns but i dont feel im getting value for my money i will stick to my gold buffalows and gold eagles their recognised all over the world and they do give you value for your money thank you for our chat sir
