a year 2000 proof Sovereign vs a year 2007 proof sovereign - particularly highlights the difference in quality in some years.

Which do you prefer, the frosted BU or the proof?

[sovereignsteve]

Or the originals?

 

[sovereignsteve]

Some double sovs.

Edward VII 1902 and a trio of Victoria 1887

And the big one, the 5 pounds.

Two 2015 Full Sovereigns.

I wish the packaging were a little more robust.
Cheap flimsy cardboard, the indian PAMP sovereigns are in plastic certicards, much better!

A nice half I recently got hold of, a little scratched but the obverse is in better condition than you normally see.

This is my heartbreak coin, the 1845 half sovereign, rated as R2 Very Rare in marsh. I've never seen another example with such little wear, but it has a problem, obviously; it has suffered a major trauma to the top right of the shield. A great shame.

My only example of the William sovereign; a bit worn but they still go for good money in this grade.

Boxed proof set 2008. From quintuple to a half sovereign.

Thought it would be fun to see a selection of proof sovereigns from over the years.

Took 4 as it's difficult to get the lighting even over all of them at once, and somehow managed to get 2 1997s in there Must have thought it was a 1987, eyes getting old
