I just purchased a 1843 Victoria shield back Sovereign, because it was minted the same year as the publication of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. I wanted to hold in my hand the same coin given to young Ebenezer Scrooge as a Christmas gift by Mr. Fezziwig.

Sovereigns are fantastic. I was all over the world with the military and they are recognised, trusted, bought and sold in every far flung corner of the earth.

Thanks again for exposing us in the United States to these beautiful gold coins from Great Britain and Australia.

Numistaker another piece of information for you. The New south wales Sovereign with the wreath and Australia on reverse 1866 to 1870 contained silver instead of copper on some, others contained copper. An argument broke out between the Sydney and Melbourne mints, during Victorian day's where the Melbourne mint said, their sovereigns were better then Sydney mint ones. When PYX tests were done, authorised by the Royal mint on Melbourne and Sydney mint, it was found that in fact the Sydney mint Sovereigns were slightly better then Melbourne Sovereigns, So New south wales won the argument. Some old head Sydney mint Sovereigns are also very yellow in color due to silver being used instead of copper. Also some George V 1911 half Sovereigns are also very brass, color due to silver used by the Royal mint instead of copper. Hope you find this of interest.

Wow, Mr. Pull Here Toilet Paper might like Sovereigns as much as I do!.

Got my first sovereign today. 1927 George V. Mint state condition with nice cartwheel lustre. Got it at my local coin shop which was much less expensive than a similar one on ebay.

Even James Bond had a belt of Gold Sovereigns as back up in From Russia With Love.

Wonderful topic. I have not entered the realm of sovereign collection yet but I have been educating myself and your content is very informative.
Please keep up the great work

I swapped 24ct gold for same weight in sovereigns, all great bullion condition, just to give me duplicate dates and mor liquidity.
I see sovereigns as inflation proofing for my fiat pension.
BTW, I have a date run of shield back sovereigns from 1860 to 1866, all in wonderfull condition.
If I had an 1867, 1875, and 1876, I could get a date run of shield backs to 1880.
Even with the shield backs I have, I'm short of 20 dates, so with various empire mints, there'll always be an addition to look out for.
