2021 Sovereigns

[BrumChris]

Not worth buying in my opinion. Should find them at bullion prices in a couple of years.

I tried to get sov's for my youngest boys birth years, just my luck one was the golden jubilee year and the other was the Queens' 70th birthday year, took me a few weeks to source those as they were quite sought after by collectors. 1956 & 1961 sovereign doesn't exist according to Chards old web site. Go for the new Proofs or BU. In memory moving on from such a wonderful 2020.

Although I doubt the Royal Mint will use birthday balloons.

Uncannily similar to what they came out with, do you design for RM on the side?

Get the ones from Harrington & Byrne £199 each at the moment albeit 2020 version comes in nice packaging. Not as nice as the proofs though but big price difference which you're likey to lose money on.

H&B will restrict you to 1 per household, as they run loss-leaders to entice suckers onto their mailing list. Beware, they also emply devious bait-and-switch selling techniques.

Avoid buying any of their rip-off priced follow up offers, and treat anything their salesmen (account managers?) tell you as though Donald Trump had said it.

For two or more, our company (Chards) should be the best deal, (although we major on the sovereigns rather than half sovereigns), and you will not get junk-mailed, hassled, etc. 

Or, you could do 2 orders as different people and different addresses with H&B.

Is it just the proofs that are out?

 

Yes.

I think the Royal Mint want you to buy the more expensive proofs before they release the "bullion" or B.U. version.

They make much more money on the proofs, and hardly anything on the bullion version.

Of course, the proofs are better.

The non-proofs usually get released about January, but the RM do change this about for some reason.

I bought x2 2020 sovereigns from Baird & Co a few days ago for £352 each.
