[QUOTE="andyscouse, post: 1171426, member: 27100"]Hi giorgio! As a collector of sovereigns, I hope I can help you. Pretty much any Canadian sovereign is worth more than melt value, especially the 1908C, 1909C, 1910C, 1913C and 1914C. The 1916C is virtually unobtainable (probably less than 50 extant), and the 1908C is also extremely rare (just 636 or 633 minted, depending on which source you use). Remember that total mintage for all Canadian sovereigns for all 10 years of production is just 628,139, according the the definitive book, Marsh's [I]The Gold Sovereign[/I]. If you can find these close to melt, I'd buy them. Some of the later 1920s Australian mint coins too are challenging. I love sovereigns - not only are they intrinsically worth their weight in gold, but they are beautiful to behold and there is over 500 years' history in them! Let me check out some other dates to watch out for.[/QUOTE]
