Where to buy George III sovereigns?

[Gradius]

Just wondering wheres the best place to buy George III sovereigns from.

None of the main dealers seem to have any and I dont want to use ebay because of the amount of fakes on there and im not experienced enough as well as the fact that everything on there has a higher premium than shops and websites.

I dont want any sort of rare date, just a standard bullion coin.

I think they are all considered rare or at the very least highly desirable. Don't forget they were only minted for, I think,  four years. 

Even very worn ones goes for a pretty penny. How much were you thinking of spending?

They aren't exactly an everyday commodity, fairly uncommon even in poor grade. They have had a real popularity surge recently, especially the 1817 due to the recent anniversary and the Royal Mint's productions. Consequently they are pricey, the nice ones very much so.
I don't know any dealer that gets them in regularly, ebay being the best bet if you stick to the well known sellers, otherwise a steady trickle usually appear at the main auction houses.

Some here, a bit pricey but then they are now, the 2017 proof design renewed interest in them.

These guys have an ebay shop too probably worth cross checking the prices.

I saw a number recently but can't recall if they were at an auction or a website.  There were a couple of 1817s and some other mixed George 3 and 4s.

I have one, i got it at a very reasonable price and certainty much cheaper than they are now, though the prices at Cambridgeshire coins fair.  IMO i would rather have a G3rd sov than the 200th remembrance coin any day.

Cheers for the advice guys.

Where did you get your one from if you dont mind me asking?

[WealdenWoodsman]

They do tend to come up for auction with London Coin Auctions quite regularly,  in fact I saw a couple when looking through their latest catalogue (http://www.londoncoins.co.uk/?page=Catalogue).

I would also keep an eye out with Spink and Baldwins.

I got mine at auction quite a while ago though they are a lot more expensive now.

We shall see, just bought the 1887 half, just hope Atkinsons give me a refund now or I will be swapping the other one with @Roy for his fakes collection.

Suffice to say I am done with Atkinsons now for anything other than bullion grade stuff, I am a novice and noticed the irregularities of this coin, heaven knows what they were up to...

I was able to find 1817 George III Gold Sovereign at Josephine Coins. From my experience they provided a quality service. https://josephinecoins.com/collections/historic-coins/products/1817-george-iii-sovereign

They will move but not by much and you'll need a reason.

Cash is usually a good motivator.

Kidding aside I have always been a bit hesitant to ask. Cheers.

If you think something is too expensive, movement may well be factored in. Another good clue is "I've had this a while"

If you don't ask you don't get & whats the worst that can happen they say no sorry & you part ways.
