I picked up my monthly sovereign last weekend and gave it the usual size and weight checks. I don't expect any surprises from the retailer, I just like getting the toys out and having a play before it goes to the deposit centre.

What about the softness/taste test? Where are the bite marks?

I'm dreading the day I sell a sovereign and someone bites it. I'm not sure I've got the emotional control to not automatically thump them haha

Get one layer of clear tape around the ends of your calipers...Will protect from scratches to the coins ( don't ask me how I know)

Thanks James, great tip. I've been careful but can imagine one slip and the coin's defaced. I know it shouldn't really matter with it being bullion but I like to keep my sovs as pristine as possible, esp' with it being the Jubilee year.

Once you put a big scratch down lizzys face "it matters" lol. Only explanation I can give is when it happened to me,the coin must have mistaken the callipers for a crocodile or something, and decided to jump to safety 😃

I bet that hurt 😕 Not as though you can buff it out either and give it a bit of a wax. Hope it was bullion and not one of those proofs.

No, he just reclassified the coin as Elizabeth II (7th Portrait - Scarface Edition), and is now marking it up as more collectible 😄
