<p>[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 1486861, member: 19765"]Much appreciation Jack. I wrote to the Pobjoy Mint awhile back and I was really surprised that they couldn't help me with mintage information. The lady said it was sold with a Sovereign and a quarter Sovereign. Then I was cruising the internet and I saw the coin with a silver issue and a Platinum issue and of course a gold half sovereign like mine. Not only that, for the same year Apmex had a half ounce a few months back. I haven't been able to get much information on it at all except that it was minted at Pobjoy and it's definitely 24k cause I had my friend test it with his mass spectrometer and it weighs 3.1 grams which is .8 lighter than a normal half sovereign. Anyways, I blocked some of the email and changed my name, removed hers but this was one of the emails I received from Pobjoy. I'd like to find out as much about it as I can but this sucker is rare. Oh, and Heritage sold a set as well but their set was not a Sovereign, a half sovereign and a quarter sovereign like the lady said at all. I think the heritage set had 4 or 5 coins but I can't remember.
