It's like pulling teeth, this sale ad. One photo with half of one face each covered 🤦‍♂️ 
Can't be too hard to do a photo of each side, of each coin surely if you want a sale?

His photo is art, the coins in a pawprint formation is genius, not giving too much away, keeping a bit back but still letting you know the goods are there.

Many lists for you there op🤣

These 3 ‘specials’ are just for you then? And so @Matt8v knows what we’re talking about……
 

There's no way this is still available. I've been trying to resist but if it is still around I'll go for it then.

An incredibly subjective topic, and it will be different for everyone
I was having a conversation with someone over the weekend though and they asked what my prioritisation was when buying coins, so I can copy and paste my answer here
Rare Shields
Scarce Shields
Rare YH G&D
Scarce YH G&D
Proof special reverse 1/4 Brits
Gillicks (57/59/62/64)
SOTD Sovereigns (preferably graded MS70)
Common YH Shields
Common YH G&D
Maklouf Doubles in PF70
Modern special Reverse

Fair enough, I see that any list would be subjective and open to debate. I just thought it would be interesting to get others views. 
 

This could be a very long journey you are embarking on, and could take many years!
Best read lots of books, and ask for advice when needed…
Started my journey over 25 years ago. Here’s a selection of different obverses since 1817, then of course there are overseas mints etc etc. Just start with a simple bullion Sovereign, and twiddle it between your fingers…🙂!!

@GoldDiggerDave raises some good questions. Budget will most defiantly have an impact on the coins you can get. When I started, for me, the best sovereigns to get was the best value sovereigns. These are usually the cheapest a dealer has and the year and mint are random. You get what you get. Just having a quick look I found a 1932 SA George V I gave £173.85 back in September 2015 I think I have some from a bit earlier at the £130/ £140 mark. When I started my collection my aim wasn't anything more than just buy bullion and get what I could with any disposable funds available. As I got more and noticed the mint marks and the few date runs I had. I started to learn more about them and the mintages. Building on this I'm currently after one from each year and mint. This has the effect of pushing me to the next level in collecting and as such the most I've now paid for a sovereign is for my 1838 Young Victoria which I bought as a birthday gift to myself last year at £2,200. I have a few 4 figure sovereigns now but the collection could go further. There are also different variations to aim for. As already have been mentioned some are unobtainable. A 1953 First edition QE II springs to mind.
Another metric I am using for the collection is to try to keep the average cost of the sovereigns at, or about the current price of the best price bullion coins. I'm currently at £386.10 for full and £189.66 for half's (£ cost averaging). But as always, the best sovereigns to collect are he ones you hold in your hand.
Always nice to have the different Monarchs and their different obverse design's 

That's great, thanks.
Being new to this, I'm surprised that the list isn't full of 100+ year old years coins.

What you are asking is the same as which is the best vintage car to collect, or which pieces of art is the "best".....Very quickly you will need astronomical sums of money.  
I would genuinely advise you to lean more about the sovereign first, there are endless publications on the subject and lots of knowledgable  people around.   I'm sure theres a good few sovereign collectors here would like an Edward VIII proof 1937 sovereign  in there collection, or a lovely example of a 1489 sovereign however these are out of many people's limits.   
Also there are some unicorn pieces that are priceless and unobtainable no matter how deep your pockets are.    
 

As @James32 said, special reverse are something to consider, they are my favourites.
However, there are those who like date runs, or coins that relate to special events, Titanic etc, or birth years for all the family!!
Then there are Britannias in various sizes and designs, the list is endless.
Good luck, you have started something that hopefully will last a lifetime 🌞

You may live to regret asking your question!😄

1937 is quite sought after year

Sadly my list is  Although. I've only gone for One from each year and mint, not all the variations.
I do have an excel sheet of all the years, mints and variations. It would be nice to fill that. However I do like the proof 2017 Anniversary Sovereign.
