Yep, Sovereigns minted in & after 1837 are CGT exempt. TSF is the cheapest place to buy 99% of the time. If you would rather go through an online dealer then Hatton Garden Metals' 'Best Value' Sovereigns tend to be the best in price (when also costing in delivery fees).

It really is worth emphasising that the word/name 'Sovereign' is not trademarked. Anyone can create a coin and call it a Sovereign - whether that is in the UK or elsewhere. The only Sovereigns worth paying any attention to are the ones released by the Royal Mint.

Some lovely silver from @Webster and @Derv.

Buy  because you like it!  Investment no. Can you explain your research into proving this is an investment?  Or is it wishful thinking?  Imo wishful thinking is zero ground to be making a purely investment decision. 
 
We all end up paying for our numismatic education so make the right decision fit yourself.  
 
Can you explain or do you know the difference between a liability and an investment?  Not a trick question many people who stack silver can’t answer this one. 

I’d say the Royal Mint Sovereigns are the quintessential Sovereign. Every other Mint that strikes a “sovereign” Is just using the name for their version of an approximately 8gm gold coin.
Yes, £895, for what is essentially a knock off, is ridiculous.
No matter the mintage, the there will almost always be a better collectibility factor, a more genuinely associated numismatic tradition, and a bigger market for the Royal Mint Sovereigns.
You would be much better off spending that £895 on the upcoming Coronation Proof Sovereign.

It’s officially Coronation Christmas in May!  Received 4 different shipments today - 5£ Piedfort, 50p Piedfort, 2 oz silver, 1/4 oz gold, 1/40 oz gold, and a few sets.  Everything was in great shape, QC did an excellent job, could not be more pleased. (SOTD was last week - that headed straight to the safe)

Theres a few more than 400 at the moment bud:

I agree on the KCIII 75th birthday SOTD.  I could not care less.
I consider myself one of the luckiest men on Earth because I am cherishing my 1/40 oz. gold KCIII coronation coin.  And just as soon as I visit my optometrist for new magnifying glasses, I'll be able to see and enjoy it!

We are delighted to be able to offer a limited number of sets and individual proof sovereigns for pre-order. The new 2023 Coronation sovereigns will feature the crowned portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings with the reverse returning to the traditional Pistrucci St George & Dragon design.
A small deposit is all that is required to secure the coin(s) or set of your choice, with the balance payable just prior to Royal Mint launch.

I only joined in December. I've had to sell a house to complete my purchases. Luckily, it was the neighbours, and I didn't like them anyway. Hopefully the new lot are better. 

It was me, I caved..
The coin was just too good.
This forum is detrimental to my financial health! 🤣

Yeah I’ve gone a few times got a few nice bits, I’m 50/50 if I’m going this time, just real life getting in the way so might bomb that off and go to the coin fair 🤣

Ditto - I know that I'm buying more coronation sovereigns though in the upcoming release so am trying to show a bit of restraint. I somewhat wish somebody would take this already to make my decision a bit easier! 😆

1788 full guinea
Don't see these come up very often, especially at this price.
Bought as part of a larger lot that was heading for the smelting pot had I not saved it
Weighs in at just under 8.2g and is in nice condition for a coin of its age.
£450 posted RMSD
BT or PPF&F, UK mainland or NI only
 

I'm actually in physical pain looking at this coin and not buying it 🤣

Lovely coin to hold, bigger than a sovereign and somehow more tactile

Unbelievably tempting.

Info on the train strike.
TFL (tube, Overground, Elizabeth Line) are unaffected.
Nearest tube is Russel Square Holborn, about 2 minutes walk from the venue.
Nearest Elizabeth Line is Tottenham Court Road, about 10 minutes walk.

Especially with the questionable SOTD boxes. Want to take the capsule out? A bit more focus is required to ensure you don't send it flying.

New vending machine tokens are quite fancy! 😅
