<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirkjames, post: 1474370, member: 38780&quot;]Hello guys. Sorry in advance if my first post is not very interesting, as it seems Gold Sovereigns are quite a bit more common than what the average person would think.&nbsp; Or at least more common than what I thought before we were given some as a wedding gift, so I had to look them up. They span from 1872 to 1963 with most from the 1890s and only the more recent ones are relatively scratch free, with most having some strong scratches and even what appears to be ink? (who would write on a sovereign???). So, the original though was that I would keep a couple of nice looking ones to put in my old coin collection and sell the rest as the gold prices are quite high right now. In any case, reading up on sovereigns it seems that if they are not VF or better they are considered gold bullion, and the newer ones would probably have to be Unc to have any numismatic value over the spot price. Just to make sure I have my facts right, I thought the experts here could take a look at some representative pics and tell me if I am correct and there is no point pursuing anything above spot price for these, or I don&#039;t give them enough credit and they aren&#039;t that bad. I would be interested in hearing about what you make of their grades, since the grading guides don&#039;t feature things like ink etc <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, I am attaching a 1876, a 1890, a 1912 and a 1963. I did not include the worst ones, these are average to good. Anyway that should give us enough for this exercise, no point in bombarding you with pics.</p><p>Thanks in advance.</p><p>[ATTACH]185673.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]185674.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]185675.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]185676.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
