    Awesome!
    I would need William IV, George IV, and George III to get all 11. I doubt that will ever happen any time soon.

    I'm not exactly sure what you mean by all 11.
    Nice set, however.

    The Photograph isn't very good (overexposed) and I'm not sure about sovereigns, there is a half pound or two, and I wouldn't stack them.

    Very nice set, and one I would be proud to own.
    Just on a "point of order" for the OP though - you have included the varieties of the Victorian head, but not the Elizabeth II. There are 5 different QE2 heads on sovereigns so far - maybe gives you an excuse to increase your collection? ;)

    That’s an impressive collection @ilmcoins. I’d sure like to see a closeup of the obverse and reverse of your George IV sovereigns.

    That is a very impressive set. I have liked British gold since I started collecting British coins seven years ago. I don't have all of the Victoria heads, and I have an old George III head on a half sovereign.

    The most impressive piece I have from this era is an Edward VII Matte Proof two pound. I bought this piece when I first trying to get a least one gold coin from each British soveriegn who issued them.

    I'll never complete that collection. This piece is graded Matte Proof - 63. Aside from a shiny spot on Edward's brow, I can't see anything wrong with it.

    My Edward VII sovereign is in this "short" 1902 coronation set. In 1902 one could buy this set, which had all of the coins up the the sovereign. The "long" set added the two and five pound pieces. Since I have the two pound coin, I have tried to get the five pound coin, but the auction prices have been through the roof.
