[QUOTE="cvicisso, post: 1349736, member: 29382"]I started out with Sovereigns because I was thinking (like OP alluded to) there is an intrinsic numismatic value in addition to the bullion value. Plus, it just seemed 'cool' to have such a historic piece of gold, and the premium was uber-low. Fast forward to now... I have learned [the hard way] that unless it states ON THE COIN and IN ENGLISH the exact amount of gold contained, it is much, much harder to unload on the open market in the U.S. If liquidity is a major factor for you, and you live (and plan on staying) in the U.S., stick with the three biggies: AGE, Krugs, and Maples (not necessarily in that order).

All that being said, I have a Sovereign for sale if you're interested! ;)[/QUOTE]
