<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John the Jute, post: 660351, member: 17740&quot;]Thank you everyone.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Best wishes, Chip, with finding the money for at least some of your collecting goals, and best wishes, Silver Eagle, with your sovereign type set.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A &quot;World Gold Collector&quot;, eh? If assembling a collection of sovereigns is a lifetime&#039;s work, a collection of world gold coins must be truly daunting. I have just bought the new edition of the Friedbergs&#039; <i>Gold Coins of the World</i> and had a wonderful time tracing the trade coins--the florin, the ducat, the doubloon, the Napoleon, the sovereign--through the various countries that minted them. Collecting a representative selection of these must be a mammoth undertaking.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yes, Clive, your comments were of course helpful. I may feel the need, or at least the desire, to have an example of the first ever sovereign, the 1817, soon; but it seems I would do well to postpone collecting the Old Kings, 1818-1837, for a while.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Those suggestions of more recent sovereigns I should collect are also most useful. Thank you again.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
