Which of these "Non Standard" Bullon Sovereigns is the best investment.

Its sometimes nice to stack non-standard bullion coins that carry a slight premium for a change

However its also important to know if that slight premium is a short lived novelty or if those coins will retain their small premium over standard bullion coins of the same type over time. Take the 2005 Sovereign as an example. A real winner on all counts, anyone who loaded up on those in 2005 will be laughing their socks of now.

So with this in mind, which of these less prestigious "Non Standard" Bullon Sovereign is the best investment.

• 2012 Sovereign - With stylised interpretation of St George and the Dragon designed by Paul Day
• 2017 Sovereign - With privy mark to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the Modern Sovereign.

Its funny, one keeps pulling ahead then the other one quickly catches it up  

Come on guys get your votes in.

You should put some pics on so everyone can see them!

I'm not sure how much potential premium there is for modern bullion (collectors will focus on proofs), however I note a lot of discounted 2012 coins and they were a higher recent mintage.

I agree @Martlet no one will collect these 2012 or 2017, but as I said from a pure bullion point of view the 2005 bullion sovereign now caries a quite hefty premium for what is after all a standard bullion coin .

Still close, who's going to be the winner ?

Not much in it, a very small premium for both coins.

Long term, I can see perfect examples pf the 2012 fetching a larger premium.

2017 privy mark could make the difference...
