<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsden, post: 19674354, member: 38010&quot;]Have been trying to assemble a set of gold sovereigns, at least one from each reign.&nbsp; More for a long reign like Victoria&#039;s or QE2, since the design changed along the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously Edward VIII is out, which I don&#039;t mind, but I&#039;m having trouble sourcing a good George VI.&nbsp; Apparently the UK&nbsp; quit minting gold for circulation during the Great Depression, and only resumed minting examples for numismatists much later on, during Elizabeth&#039;s reign.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t mind Commonwealth mints as some of mine already are Australian.&nbsp; All I can find for George VI are 1952 South African releases, and they cost roughly double what earlier and later sovereigns cost.&nbsp; Any advice or perspectives?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1539459[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
