Well I got the grade today & happy to say the least.
 

Very happy with the King's arrival in the colonies!
Only took 2 weeks! Can be 4-6 weeks sometimes.
Is the packaging slightly excessive? 5 boxes, like opening a Russian doll, or 'pass the parcel'!

While putting today's Memorial Sovereign away I decided to get all the gold out. Its not a lot compared to some, but it's mine, so it's special!
Most accumulated this year following my (inevitable?) slide from silver to gold.

Pleased to be back stacking! Some shiny stuff.  Pleased to hit my target for 2022

Not exactly a photo of my stack but a screen shot of explorer set to 'large icons' on a directory with pics of my sovereigns.

Got a bit carried away over last few week's. I had zero gold beforehand, but I do like my first few purchases..😅😍

A steady flow (by my standards ) since last Friday  , big thank you to @1stsovereignand @BullionMan89 for prompt delivery .

A 1980 Proof Sov, and an 1884 Melbourne Sov (bit banged up, but weighs correct, and good price) from @BullionMan89




Lucky! I ordered mine from Atkinsons as well, but they haven't even shipped it yet!

This is awesome @Simonz. 👏🏽 

Response from Token Publishing;
"Thank you for your e-mail and interest in The Gold Sovereign. 

Whilst a new edition is a couple of years off we will be doing another and are sure that Steve Hill would welcome any amendments. If you could please send a link to the forum, it would be most welcome.

We look forward to hearing from you."

Makes for an exciting day. Quintuple BU 1989 Sov (bought elsewhere) and another well priced 2002 Sov from @Sh97if

Decided to collect the Tudor Beasts in gold 1/4oz, just bag the lion and yale

I bought 3 of these coins, I think they look unique.....
Fiji 2022 $1 1oz Silver Welsh Dragon NGC MS70 Dragons of World Label

If you post your die number updates @dicker, or PM to me? I will update the summary of errors/additions on the first post of this thread to keep everything in one place. I will contact Publisher to see if it's of interest to them. I have PM'd admin to see if we can make this a pinned thread.

Received this very nice proof 1/4oz Krugerrand from @HB1

Howzabout a 'World's first' piedfort sovereign with 'Blackpool' running all the way through!

I don’t know if that is accurate as the RM itself states that the bullion and Brilliant Uncirculated strikes are different.
In any case, for 2019 and 2020, the Brilliant Uncirculated Sovereign was a matte finish unlike the bullion.
As an authority on coinage, Marsh shouldn’t be simply glossing over these nuances because this is precisely the type of information people are searching for.

List of suspected errors/ommissions/additions to Marsh's 'The Sovereign Series' book. 
Please post any suspected errors and I'll add them to this list. Publisher says "Steve Hill would welcome any amendments" for the next edition.
2015 Normal needs clarification.   #343 5th head, not listed in book, but listed in price guide '343 Normal, Jody Clark portrait £350'
2019 Proof missing.   Mintage 9,500 https://www.royalmint.com/sovereign/proof/The-Sovereign-2019 
2019 Piedfort missing.   Mintage 1800 https://www.royalmint.com/sovereign/proof/The-Piedfort-Sovereign-2019
2020 George III Privy proof mintage not known.  #359 COA says  mintage 7,995 https://www.thelondoncoincompany.com/store/2020-St-George-and-the-Dragon-Gold-Proof-Full-Sovereign-Coin-Box-Coa-p161954525
Should Brilliant Uncirculated coins be listed separately rather than included in 'Normal' mintages?
 
 
Original post below:
Marsh (2021 edition p.158) seems to omit a few 2019 sovs? Seems odd given it's not exactly ancient history?
Proof with no privy mark, mintage 12,270 (https://www.chards.co.uk/2019-gold-sovereign-proof/2959)
Matt BU mintage 25,000 (https://www.royalmint.com/sovereign/brilliant-uncirculated/the-sovereign-2019-brilliant-uncirculated)
Piedfort mintage 1800 (https://www.royalmint.com/sovereign/proof/The-Piedfort-Sovereign-2019/)
NZ's first sovereign Also found this while researching, I need one! The Indian sovs get a mention so why not this one? (https://hattonsoflondon.com/shop/popular-themes/by-theme/royal/the-2019-new-zealand-first-ever-gold-sovereign/)
Prompted by a 2019 proof listed on Coin Cabinet's next auction. https://auctions.thecoincabinet.com/lots/view/4-8LQ2YU/2019-gold-sovereign-proof-box-coa-agw02355-oz
The more research I did, the more 'unlisted' coins popped up. Apologies if this has been discussed before (I did a site search and both have been listed for sale but no other mentions) hope I'm not missing something obvious?

That’s actually a really great idea. 🙂
I don’t know about alerting the publisher or anything, but it would definitely be a great group to our members and visitors here.
