2019 Indian Sovereign

[xthomasx]

Don't know if anyone noticed or is even interested:

The RM has Indian Sovereigns 2018 and 2019 available. Just bought one of the former

Edit: I bought the 2019.

To say these are minted to bullion standard, £400 for a sovereign does seem to be expensive.

The 2018 is £343.93 at  UK Bullion but with no box .

It's too expensive imvho, unless the 'anniversary' appeals and your pockets are deep. The last time (was it late 2017 - so the 2017 release or the 'early' 2018?) there was a UK company selling these - they were at not much of a premium at just over £250 to start iirc. After our feeding frenzy (lol) they got more in at about £315 and everybody said 'no, bloodsuckers' etc (alright we may be a tight bunch on here 🤣).

They are lovely coins though, the alloy on the year I bought is far more 'golden' than the RM's version. And I do like my gold looking GOLD (as do India)! Great strike too the ones I have.

Otherwise I think they have super presentation in the card and look even better in the box imo, but the premium is just too high now.

I got excited for a second until I saw the price

When the Royal Mint was selling the 2015 I mintmark sovereign, they charged me £241 at the time, which was roughly around £20 more than a standard bullion sovereign of the same year. It did come in a box as well.

My 2017 versions cost me £255.42.

Having just seen that the BREXIT SOTD sovereign is £800, maybe these Indian sovereigns are actually a bargain!

Extra 120 quid for a card that tells you its authentic (pointless) and a cardboard box.  No thanks. 

[xthomasx]

I bought the 2018 for 350-ish but at a very different level of the gold price. So I guess the premium is similar now. After catching all the 2019 SotDs, maybe 2019 will be my only complete year.

Oh wait, I avoided the 2019 piedfort ... But that's not a real Sovereign.

We get these at £335 in India, still only a handful get them. I thought 335 was expensive, but I guess exporting and margin is way off.

Is the 2018 still available in India?

I believe a few sites/jewellers might have a few pieces with them for sure. Last week they were available with someone I know. Website doesn’t show but maybe a piece or two is there.

No need to buy from anywhere as exotic as India- Wolverhampton is as far as you need to travel

These have been available here for knocking on a year now

Oh, not sure what is going on there.  I’ve bought from them before- all is good with them.

[westminstrel]

Have they changed the certicard since 2018 so that the COA number is no longer shown at the back? I’m seeing a QR code instead.

Marketing: I think it is their way of making you want something even more!

I thought given where the gold spot price is at it might be worth bumping this topic. When this was originally posted gold was hovering around £1200/oz and at the time of writing is £1440/oz but you can still get the 2019 India sovereign for £400 making it potentially more attractive.
