Much older years probably look towards slabbed coins

Sorry, I don't know the meaning of slabbed coins? I'm a bit new to this. Could you expand on that please?

Hi folks, I am getting more interested in collecting years of sovereigns. I'm wondering if there is a table or spreadsheet available that lists from best, the sovereigns that are most desired or important?  I know the super rare will be mega money, but it would be nice to see how far up the list I could find.

So far, found sovereigns from 1885, 1891, 1901, 1911 and 2002 shieldback. 

It would be good to get a few more when funds and good coins allow.

Good luck, you have started something that hopefully will last a lifetime 🌞  and cost you a lot of money

You may live to regret asking your question!😄

Sadly my list is The Gold Sovereign Series Book | Chards - £39.95 Although. I've only gone for One from each year and mint, not all the variations.

I do have an excel sheet of all the years, mints and variations. It would be nice to fill that. However I do like the proof 2017 Anniversary Sovereign.

What might be a "better" question to ask is what the best sovereigns to collect within your budget?  I don't know what this is you may only want to spend £3000-4000 per sovereign maximum or you might want to spend more or less. 

If you are only just starting off you really need to learn as you go and I'd advise not to buy any high premium numismatic sovereigns until you know what you are buying.   

best advise for a new sovereign collector........

keep to close as the bullion price as you can.  £400-£450 area first.  

different monarchs are a good place to start, then different reverses shield backs and the special year reverses etc

Different mint marks,  you can collect a George V full mint mark run for not a lot of money.

First and the last of each monarch......this can get expensive  

different varieties,  portraits/legends,  first/second jubilees,  Incuse/relief WW young heads, die numbers, small or large head George V  etc etc.

What you are asking is the same as which is the best vintage car to collect, or which pieces of art is the "best".....Very quickly you will need astronomical sums of money.  

I would genuinely advise you to lean more about the sovereign first, there are endless publications on the subject and lots of knowledgable  people around.   I'm sure theres a good few sovereign collectors here would like an Edward VIII proof 1937 sovereign  in there collection, or a lovely example of a 1489 sovereign however these are out of many people's limits.   

Also there are some unicorn pieces that are priceless and unobtainable no matter how deep your pockets are.    

 

Fair enough, I see that any list would be subjective and open to debate. I just thought it would be interesting to get others views.

That's great, thanks.

Being new to this, I'm surprised that the list isn't full of 100+ year old years coins.
