First full sovereign

[Dougall1]

Well broke my virginity and got my first full sovereign. Goes well with my 2 quarter sovereigns I got the other day. Gonna aim for a full sovereign each month. Brought it on here from andrewSL76. Fast efficient service. Pleasure doing business with you mate.

Been eying up sovs myself,but I know nothing about them,must give them some research and watch these threads more...Nice looking coin that.

Well done @Dougall1 - first of many, I imagine!

What date is your sovereign?  Looks like it will be somewhere between 2000 and 2015 if it's an Ian Rank-Broadley obverse.

Some of those years have low mintages, which don't really affect the price now, but may do in a few years' time...

2013 mate

https://coinparade.co.uk/sovereigns/ gives you a rough idea of mintage figures I have it as a book mark just to check the odd numbers

[AndrewSL76]

Just to add that @Dougall1was a pleasure to communicate with. Highly recommended trade buddy!

Wasn't Elizabeth the first virgin sovereign?  

Good start @Dougall1 and the best path to follow 👍

You may get it cheaper elsewhere but it is a wealth of knowledge

Well done @Dougall1 👍

I picked up my first Sovereign in mid April... I'll be getting a forth later this month, getting closer to 1oz of the shiny stuff... eek, it's a slippery slope 😎

I bought my first in Mid March. My next will be my 40th. 

And you think you have a problem. 😂

40th OMG!!!

Edit: I'd love to have the money for that kind of purchase but alas, need to cover other outgoings.

40th bloody hell. I'll get there eventually lol

[Richym99]

I just converted what I had in my savings account earning a pittance in interest into sovereigns, buying a combination of bullion sovereigns and others of greater rarity, which will hold their value even if prices drop.

Can't go wrong with a few sovereigns 😀

If you can afford 1 a month sovereigns are definitely the best option. They soon stack up...
