I'd love to see your sovereigns...

I've been reading about british sovereigns this evening and they seem like an interesting group of coins to collect.
I'd love to see examples from people's collections and hear their thoughts on what it's like collecting these coins.

The perfect coin: nice size, beautiful classic design, deep history, and because it's GOLD, less annoying AT issues

(this went PCGSPR69 - its just fuzzies on the coin...)

"The perfect coin: nice size, beautiful classic design, deep history, and because it's GOLD, less annoying AT issues" I agree with Hyperion.

I'm admittedly prejudiced, but that's a nice pair of Victorian sovereigns.

Sovereigns are good but they are 5X better as a massive 5-sovereign coin:

Cruzi, your link doesn't seem to be working (for me at least). - EDIT: I got it to work - Link

WOW - what an excellent read. I really enjoyed your history of the sovereign! It was very, very informative!

I'd love to see your sovereigns...
