I use airtite capsules and tubesfor mine. Each tube holds 21 Sovereigns
 

This is my preferred method as these lighthouse capsules are what fit in Aluns boxes which is what i used to motivate myself. 10 sovereigns loose are underwhelming, i found the capsule and boxes bulked it up a bit. For me it’s worth it. Posted these pics on another thread about sovereign storage it may be worth you doing a search and finding it. The capsules are now in air tite tubes and safe deposit storage but having them in capsules in the boxes looked the best.

I’ve only just started stacking sovereigns and looked fo ages for something to store them in. Tried quite a few but eventually ended up with these 100 coin cases with capsules from Amazon for under a tenner. They fit whole sovereigns perfectly.

The way I look at it is 10 quid for 100 sovereigns (30k) not only looks after them, makes it easy to store and I number each capsule so I know what I paid for each one. Good value in my mind. 

22mm internal diameter capsules. The case comes with 100 capsules.

I use Brit tubes and capsule. Fit snug and doesn't take up too much room. 16 per tube.

Don’t know if I’m allowed to link to another forum but there are forums set up for this very thing. Google is your friend 😁

In which case, the RM ought to put in a "banker", and do a 99th birthday issue (they missed out for Prince Philip). My design suggestion would be 99 Red Balloons. they could do a premium edition, complete with a C.D. of Nena. This would also be a nod to the royal family's German heritage.
No colour printing would be necessary because of the stupid red gold. 😎

Personally I keep all of my gold coins in capsules. 
Why?  Simply because I am the custodian I want to preserve them for the next soul to own them.

Among of the many interesting features I have seen on gold sovereigns are air bubbles. These undoubtedly exist on other coins, but I can't remember seeing them on other coins, probably because I examine a lot of sovereigns quite closely.
I commented on a recent post that a raised pimple on the obverse of an (1972?) shield sovereign may have been a tiny air bubble.
Here is an example we photographed a few days ago:

Although I see from the filename that it is a half sovereign, not a (full) sovereign. (I did say  I can't remember seeing them on other coins, but I am now worried about my short term memory, and I can't remember having Alzheimer's).
In the main obverse shot, the raised lump is very clear, although it is hard to see on the close up. With any such unusual feature, it is natural to immediately check the other side to see if there is any corresponding feature. In this case, there is not:

This is evidence that the coin was struck with the raised lump, and that it was not caused be any post production damage.
It could have been caused by some indentation on the obverse die, but it does not have the right appearance for that, so the only logical explanation is an air bubble.
Almost all metal casting is prone to porosity caused bu air or gas bubbles in the melt, which remain after solidification. These are likely to be spherical or ovoid at first, but when the cast ingot is subsequently rolled, many times, into a flat sheet or strip, the air bubble get squeezed so they become longer, wider, and flatter. Sometimes the bubble reaches the surface, in which case it is likely to show as a crack or flake in the strip, and subseqently in the blank planchet.
When the planchet is struck to become a coin, the air bubble undergoes further compression and, again, may burst or reach the surface, creating a flake with a sharp, usually ragged edge. If the bubble does not burst, it is likely to form a raised, convex, lump, which consists of a layer of metal overlying the trapped air bubble.
Some may consider this to be a mint error, but I consider it to be an interesting feature, which helps to demonstrate the production process. As coins are mass produced, we should expect the unexpected, and accept that some seemingly random things will happen.
I don't think feartures like this add much value to the coin, nor should they detract from its value. 
I believe most true numismatics should try to have a few coins with unusual features in their collection.
We have photographed quite a number of air bubble and surface flake coins in the past, and I will try to remember to add them to this thread when I re-discover them.
 

That's another good question!
One way would be to subscribe to our mailing list. The link is on the lower RHS of our front page.
Another is to visit our relevant page(s), for example https://www.chards.co.uk/2022-gold-sovereign-elizabeth-ii-proof/15068 and click the "Add Stock Alert" button.
We don't take reservations until after we receive formal product information, and confirm supply contracts, and any RM embargo date has passed, but we should be able to accept "expressions of interest".
I will tag @ChardsCoinandBullionDealerin, and we should be able to create or enable a specific page or facility to do this.
If you prefer, you can always e-mail info@chards.co.uk, use our instant chat, or phone and speak to a real, live, helpful human being (although we are often busy, and may have to call you back).
I hope this helps. 🙂

Not sure about the handle on the top but that’s just a personal aesthetics view. Looks great otherwise 👍🏻

Hi Stackerp
     Very good question. I originally had developed the IOT tester, and I got this exact feedback from a buddy of mine who is a great enthusiast. Now I can pasture you that we will have maximum security etc on the website, with data etc. However I Realise that’s just not the point, the ultimate safety is no registered data, and for those who have this level of concern that is why I developed the completely offline model that you see in the video. This can be provided with a physical card option, with the data of the readings from all the most well known coins.
There will of course be some advantages to being online with an ever growing database, but there is no reason that the cards cannot be updated with this information for physical delivery over time also.
How does that sound?
 
 
 

So I presume as they are all trial pieces they are not legal tender hence them all being hallmarked and hence even the gold ones would be subject to VAT?!
