Will you send the 89 for conservation and grading or not bother?

Most likely not bother for the time being. At some point in time I would love to fetch the collection together and work out a way to store them but still be able to display them, so they can be viewed and enjoyed. Hoarding them in a small box in a vault seems to me to not be doing justice to them. They were in essence a coin for circulation.

Should I go for half sovereign or full? Would like to know people opinions.

Whatever is the best premium on the day. Both will serve you well, although halves will carry a slight premium over a full.

Think @James32 hit the nail on the head. In so much as the half's have a slightly higher premium. I would add that when I started the full were easier to come by. Not sure if this was a local anomaly to me or not. However, there are more variations of the full over the half so date runs might be easier to find in the full sovereign over the half. Certainly halves become rarer the further back you go, especially for certain years. Another good idea if your going to concentrate on sovereigns is to pick up a reference book.

I have this  It's proved worth it's weight in fiat.

Great. Really appreciate the advice. I will definately get the book.

Whichever you can afford, if you can save and get a full …. go for it, really nice to open the post and see your first full sovereign 😮👍

The easiest date run to start would be Charles III. 😆
