2012 Uncirculated Gold Sovereign - Why so Much?

[ilovesilverireallydo]

Why are the 2012 full gold sovs selling for nearly 10-15% premium on most sites?

One off design. The proofs show up much better hence are higher valued. The bu doesnt show anything clearly.

so this one I have would be worth around £260 -£280? It was in a blister pack, but the plastic was a bit natty so I put it in a case.

Last purchase made on ebay was 277 quid..the one before, 260..https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=2012 sovereign&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

They sell steadily on ebay for the premium you mention. IIRC I didn't buy my first ones straight away on issue but did have to pay a reasonable premium when I did buy. From Chards I think, so they must have been the cheapest I could get at the time.

Their popularity does seem to vary on ebay, sometimes they do surprise me with the price some sell at.

I think I paid £230 for my first ones and at that time, they were regularly selling for £275+ on ebay.

Over the base price??? Too much mate. I wouldn't charge you £460 for it!

Paid £203 for mine 28/10/15 from a respected forum member.

I only have 1, it doesn't appeal at all. The Proof however...I was lucky, also around that time.

Yeah I dont like mine either. I prefer the older style.

You should keep it though, the alternative designs are always sought after.

I didn't like the 2005 design but now it's really grown on me. Mintages are nice and low too.

Got mine brand new from Atkinsons May 2012.
Taking the ratio of spot today to when I purchased I effectively paid £235 at today's prices including SD postage.
I actually paid more but spot was £1,042 back then.

just took it out of the new marsh book, but I did mean the single, boxed version. I thought 2303 was a strange number
