A couple more acquired over the last couple of days.
2009 Proof Sovereign, which will be heading for grading tomorrow and another 1891M Short Tail already graded AU53.
 
 

One and a half months ago I bought my first gold sovereign. This is half of my collection so far, the latest being 1911 and the earliest 1878. There is also a slabbed 1891-M short tail underneath too. 
I think I might have to slow down. 😄

Thought I would resurrect this thread as it is what first got me interested in this particular variant. I stumbled across one for sale on this forum a couple of months ago, which had been overlooked for several weeks of being for sale, and found this thread while contemplating whether to buy it. 
After obtaining that first one, I went looking for others, and was surprised to find that despite their (then) R4 rarity in Marsh, a number were cropping up for sale. Steve Hill has now reclassified these as R5 in Marsh, which is questionable as I know the whereabouts of at least six outside of the ones mentioned earlier in this thread. Even if the original R4 status stood though, it is still a rare coin.
These are my three that I have so far.
 
 

I suppose it depends on how much value you assign to the them.
If you consider that, as bullon coins, they are only worth their intrinsic value, then it will matter not what condition they are in. You can put them in a carrier bag and they won't lose their value. After all, you will be selling them as scrap value for melting down.
If, however, you think that some might be worth a little more than the intrinsic value, it is worth separating them out and properly storing them. Just because you are a stacker, not a collector, presumably still means that you want to get the best possible sale price when it does come to liquidating your assets.
Personally, if I had a stash of possibly gVF-EF quality sovereigns, I would be doing everything to maintain that and avoid metal to metal contact.

Took me a few minutes to figure why you were selling a 1957 after buying one. 😀  
Nice upgrade Rich

Ouch. Speedy recovery to you. Suggested reading too are meals that can be prepared for somebody like yourself with a wired jaw. There are a few out there.  

Another two beautiful sovereigns  dropped through the letterbox this morning.
The 2017 Delhi sovereign, which is magnificent. I have promised to keep the source anonymous and will always do so. I do love the modern Delhi sovereigns because they are still using the original gold composition of "yellow" gold, not the rose gold the RM is usings these days. Much more attractive on the eye even when viewed through the tamperproof packaging.
The second is a 1931P picked up from a French company via MA Shops. Another off for grading sometime next week.

Thanks Richard. 
Hopefully, having the entire set with the 1918 as well, all graded, will add significantly to my pension pot.   

Received only a few minutes ago from @drakesterlingwho kindly sourced one for me. Until two weeks ago, I had no idea there was a 2020 version, as no images existed on the net. I wonder how many exist outside of the Indian subcontinent.   

Today I received an email off Louise at CoTR with the results of grading submissions. 
I really needed a lift having been unwell for a couple of weeks. This did the trick.
