The Gold Sovereign by Marsh

[Midasfrog]

Just put an order in for one 🧐 while the offer of Free postage is still valid . I wonder how many books they will print ?

Maybe a low print run of the first edition- might be worth a fortune in years to come 😂 

Seriously though, I think that this latest edition of The Gold Sovereign has been eagerly anticipated and Token Publishing keep pushing the release back.

 I know nothing about publishing and printing books but it would make sense to have a boat load of pre orders and print as many as possible in one foul swoop and make the price per unit as cheap as possible- I can see the release date been pushed back further for this very reason.

Whatever is the reason, I can’t wait to get my copy- extending discussion and reference to include the 2 & 5 Sovereigns is fantastic, and I’m sure Steve Hill will have made a good job of the updates and revisions of this edition.

Mine's in the bloody mail sorting office. Too big for the letterbox and too stupid to leave it next door. 😞

[Artictim]

Ordered mine on Monday and it arrived this morning! 👌👍👍

Just received mine.

Been looking at the price list.

The suggested prices are quite high at the low end, perhaps compiled when spot was higher.

If it says £400 for 2021 bullion and £600 for a 95 privy mark, would you just multiply today's going rate by 1.5 for what you would be prepared to pay?

I think I'd pay £310 today for a 2021 sov so would £465 be a fair price or should it be more?

Mine's arrived, now off for grading

Rescued mine from the sorting office. 

So what was the very first thing you looked up? 

Me, it will be to check if the 1891-M short tail has kept it's R4 rarity status.

I'm not sure but I was surprised to see the 1865 Australian half Sovereign valued at £2,000.

Surely this is over estimated.
