Hahahah Brilliant! Hmm what to do for 1970!? 
 

Out of all of em I thought the 1977 might be the heaviest in price with it being a jubilee year

No 1977 sovereigns either mate, They started back up production in 74 but no 75 or 77

Well that’s me and the wife out for a birth Sovereign! The eldest will have to make do with 1g bars if they only minted proof in 98 🤣

There’s a ‘75 but only 1

[Spyder]

For 70 and 77 you could look for 2 Rand, same specification as a sovereign.  

Your last three are readily available and just bullion prices unless you go for carded

I’m the same with 1972, so I stack 1872 instead.  Super common year so easy to find 

I do have a few silver bits from 72, best probably a full set of Olympic silver Marks

Can also keep an eye out for a 77 IOM Sovereign. That’s what I had to do and finally managed to get a full and half for that year 👍🏼

That seems like a good idea

No 1977 either.  About the only thing in production at that point was Krugerrands but they didn't make 1/4 oz ones until 1980 or so, I believe.

You could go a century earlier and get 1870 and 1877 sovs.

Considered that after @Orpster mentioned it! I feel 100 years older than I am sometimes so could be next best option

Could also just wait 50 years and grab a 2077..spot may have increased slightly.

Libertad Centenario Medal, 1961 was the first year of the 2 Rand as well I think

Thank you for the suggestions, however, probably heresy, but I’m really not in to South African or Mexican coins🤔🫢🙁just stick to something silver…. oh no! Even the silver coins had stopped being silver by then😮🤔

If you go that route I think I have a spare 1877 shield or two, no G&D I don't think though

I don't think I have a spare 1870 shield but they should not be too hard to find, there were no G&D that year but 1870 was the last year of the Australian Sovereign though, so not a bad one to keep an eye out for.

Just reading this thread and the likes of these nuggets of information from @James32 and @Orpster are precisely why I joined this forum.  Brilliant.

1870 is still unusual to find.  I've been looking for one to pop up, and whenever someone is selling a batch of shields, it is always conspicuously absent.

Didn’t the Russians mint a quarter ounce in 1977…can’t think of the name? Anybody??

Chevronetz?  Chevinetz?  Something like that.  The ones with the farmer on them?

Ah right not noticed, to be honest I usually scan for 1848 (last one I need), any from Melbourne mint and then just look at condition.  Stopped paying that much attention to dates most of the time.

I am happy to keep an eye out on other platforms for you, found a few for other members in the past few months.  I will add it to my list and drop you a message if one comes up
