I am a new member and I would like to ask about my gold sovereign. It has a dot between R and I. Is somebody who have seen this? Is it rare?
Welcome to the forum. I see the dot, it may be a die chip or xomething like that. Nice coin however I do not think the dot will increase the value, I could be wrong. Wait for more answers and go to google and enter gold sovereign errors and see what comes up. I only have a half sovereign but I wouldn't sell it, hopefully never! There's a pic of my half in one of my albums, the foodstamp album. Oh anyone own one of these Queen coins?
