HGM sov

[darrol]

Just wondering what people think about the HGM low  grade sovereign they have on there site and if anyone has purchased any before?  would they still be good enough as bullion?  I guess I was thinking about getting one to try but a bit worried about what I will get  .

Personally i would pay a few quid more for a better coin. You will find it much easier to sell a decent coin when the time comes.

Wise words from sixgun.

@darrol if you really want to know what to buy i would say buy the Victoria young head. You will pay 30 quid more but they are a good investment.

Have you seen the prices dealers are selling young heads for these days? Even the George and Dragon young heads are a terrific price.

There are plenty of people will pay top dollar for some young head.

Agree with ye olde sixgun.

For a new buyer however, I'd suggest a 2018 coin first.

Feel it, weigh it, measure it.  That's as good as you'll get.

Now you have a benchmark 😊

Very good sir 😉

These are a couple of sovereigns i got from HGM last week. i also agree the 2018 sovereign is such good value right now. i don't like these new sovereigns - i don't like their colour.

Where is the cheapest place to buy recent sovereigns or just a case of searching all sellers online

Try sharps pixley . Was cheapest last time i looked at sovereigns

[sixgun]

Chard i think is a good price at £232 for a 2018 - but you need to factor in postage [£9].

Atkinsons comes in cheaper even though it is £240.62 for one as it has free delivery - then as you buy more their price falls as well.

Sharps Pixley is selling 2019 sovereigns according to them.

The Pixley is a mis print in the site as the coin shows 2018. The price is £235 delivered which is good.

Purchased from them before, got 9 of them last week & all are pretty decent tbh not all smashed up like you would expect.

@shawny2510  9 sovs in one hit? Wish i could do that. Were they the HGM low grade bullion sovs? If so could you post a couple of pictures as ive wondered about the quality of the low grade ones myself. Cheers.

Agree entirely if I could go back and restart my gold purchasing I would go solely for nice young heads only got one but wish I had a lot more as they really are very nice...

What years are the youngheads. Are they pre 1900?

One word of caution however - the new sovereigns are a totally different colour to the older coins and also have a high gloss.
You need to familiarise yourself with both before you panic believing one could be fake.

Another tip for a newbie - get a full sovereign and a half sovereign and keep them handy as reference.
Always check any new purchase as you will not believe how many people cannot tell the difference.
Seems a no brainer but don't be fooled.

What would be a reasonable price to pick up a 2012 sovereign in the UK  delivered from an online dealer.

HGM have one 2012 at 4% over spot at the moment.

Is that a good deal?

I'm no expert but likely as good as you'll get off a dealer. Remember postage on top though so often better to buy in quantity if you can.

[Martlet]

HGM price on the 2012 is probably the best you'll find.

I went for it and grabbed it. Been looking for a 2012 at a good price for a while now
