I have never considered it to be a rare date, and as I say, I still doubt the accuracy of TGS book. It would be good to know where Steve Hill got his mintage figure from.

Time will (may) tell.

Wish I could ask him haha, though it is somewhat promising as there must be a reason he put that, like you say it will become more apparent over the coming years. Do you offer a grading submit service from your store given I am not a member of ngc I'd love to have it sent off?

Whoops! 

I was looking for 2006, for which my info is correct.

It would help if you rotated the image to make it readable more easily for me and others.

I don't believe the figure of 472 shown above. While it may be correct, a number of TSF members have noticed errors in various editions of The Gold Sovereign.

I suspect there are more than 472 currently being offered for sale.

The RM ceased to publish regular annual mintage figures some years ago. I don't know the exact date they started this.

My apologies I did try to rotate but couldn't find an option to do so 😅, would it be worth grading and would you say the value is increased with this piece? Isit a year you have come across less frequently?

Yes the 2016 bullion is 472 so less than  the proofs

Here is mine

Its BU so very well struck

 

Wow that's awesome how much did it cost for you to grade it? I'm thinking about having it graded, is there currently a premium with it being such low mint

Also what's BU? Pardon my ignorence

If you want good information, you need to ask the right person, not just "a friend".

I don't know where he got his "information" of "about 497" from, but the proof version had close to 10x that mintage, and the non-proof bullion version will have been closer to 100x that number.

Great speaking with you I'm a big fan of what you do he referenced this..? 

"the gold sovereign Steve Hill revision" 

Hi guys I received this recently from a mixed choice purchase (where you get a coin of the dealers choice) 

After some research and asking a friend it seems that this year and being non proof version has a low mint of around only 497 half's minted that year. 

Can anyone confirm and clarify? 

Also interested to see if this affects valuation? 

Terrible news god bless her, yes I believe the value will increase, que 5078 on royal mint site
