RE: There's Gold in them there Hills, Real Gold
A five pound Sovereign????? Wow, i love it !!! I have a weakness for Sovereign's. Classic what else can i say, do you like the older ones? I like the idea that some of these have been around over 100 years.
I do collect them, will show some soon
Looking forward to the post's. The Sovereign was first issued in 1489 for Henry VII of England, and i have read that less than 1% of all gold Sovereign's minted are still in collectable condition. In 1933 because of US gold coins being withdrawn from circulation many gold Sovereign's were melted.... so sad (:
