Sovereign or Quarter Britannia?

[QStack]

@pete Ha ha yeah looks mighty fine 🤩

Neither, Queen's Beast 1/4oz

My preference is old sovereigns or new Britannia, because of the colour.  The extra premium upsets this though, for gold per £ cant really beat new/recent sov.

I agree.
The older sovereigns look like gold should be and I've seen the Egyptian stuff in Cairo.
The new sovereigns are far too glossy and to anyone new on the scene look fake - far too coppery in colour.

That’s coin racism    Both are good looking in some way  

but yes, especially the bullion sovereign which looks really shiny and cheap!

Well if any one has any 2018 bullion sovs they dont like and want to sell send me a message

Bet @Pete would sell them all if he could get what HGM are now charging for 1/2 shield sovs

Had these for many years purchased before I discovered HGM and well before the creation of the Silver Forum.

What would you go for and why?

Clearly Sovereigns. Apart from the reasons already mentioned, the demand is always higher than the supply on the continent, particularily in Germany and Southern Europe (whereas in Western Europe the Swiss Vrenili would be more popular). This same PM dealer says he can get you any quantity of e.g. a Krugerrand in a very short time [perhaps unless you are Croesus], if you order it but not coins like the Sovereign, the Swiss Vrenili, the German Gold Mark or the Austrian Corona etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbWmh7Q6bRY

Both for me especially the alternative designs of soverigns and Britannias

Here you go if you want a bargain, there are x6 1/4 oz QB lions up for grabs, from a highly reputable seller.

Best be quick though they will be gone in a flash., if you can’t see post then PM @morezone for some picks and prices
