The Today I received section is not to be used for businesses to promote their business. Trade members and those operating as a business in the eyes of the forum are invited to enquire about a Dealer Sub Forum, where you may start your own Today _____ received topic to post your commercial purchases. E.g.

I think the 1891-m short is rarer than the long tail. That year they made both. Confusingly spink assigned the long tail version as rarer but more recently revised to the short tail version being rarer!

There’s a couple threads on here about it

@ilovesilverireallydo and @CadmiumGreen both had one and might have done further research

https://thesilverforum.com/topic/13592-1891-short-tail-sovereign/

@Bdean316, @Elements is correct, the 1891-M Short Tail is listed as R5 in Marsh, 5-10 examples estimated to have survived.  The 1891-M Long Tail is Common. Similarly, the 1891 no Mint mark for London Mint Short Tail is also listed as R5, with Long Tail as R3 or Extremely Rare. Lastly, 1891-S only minted Long Tails and were Common. 

Example of my 1891-M Short Tail (one of my first photos so kind of cr@ppy)...C591A104-A136-4376-93EC-1A9330454A6F.thumb.jpeg.f97d3e0ae4d2ddea2e4e90ad48b1d43a.jpeg5D465927-4CA1-46D3-BC04-35F484EB678D.thumb.jpeg.45cea20aa8d0ca93f8fea999792f9ccd.jpeg

And an 1891 Long Tail...

I bought them from MTC Pamp retail outlet in Ahmedabad. They have few retail outlets in Delhi but I would phone in advance to make sure have all the stock you are after.

MTC Pamp retail did not have everything that I was after and purchased some items from Coinbazaar (very well packaged and delivered by courier).

‘I’ll get you Butler...’ sorry couldn’t resist the reference to the 70’s sitcom...an attempt at humour wasted on most here I’m sure, so I’ll bow out now, excepting  to say thank you so very much to @ilovesilverireallydo for this stunning Sovereign. Check out the definition of the George & Dragon- even with my crappy iPhone SE camera.

If you get stuck looking for the kilo version give me a shout, I've got a couple, selling one for reinvestment would be no problem
