Hi Guys,

 Just brought my first Sovereign from Bullion by Post, Edward Vii 1908 Perth Mint. The condition looks great but it does look a little dull, can it be cleaned?

    Many Thanks in advance.

  Is this a good dealer?  packaged and postage times were excellent.

Never clean coins.

Put it in a capsule or at least a coin flip. Keep it safe. Start an Excel file or a notebook with the details of the coin, price paid blah blah. Then put it safe wherever you decide to keep it safe.

Don't clean it.

BBP is a good dealer but not the cheapest.

There are others for gold such as https://atkinsonsbullion.com/

Thanks Guys, its in a capsule in my safe. Will look at Atkinsons, Thank you.

UK dealers aren't great for silver due to the VAT.

Here are some topics you might find useful

If it’s just a bullion sovereign then I use Town talks gold polishing cloth. Just a quick rub and you can see the black residue of the coin on the cloth. Brings it up nicely and it’s used by jewellers. Never wash it though. They are cheap so just buy another once. Should be good for 20 sovs or so.

Great, Thanks.
