    JCM, those are nice sovereigns. image

    I've noticed that 1/2 sovs and sovs don't command steep premiums.

    Your are correct, and that's the reason I buy them. I have been able to get these and a bunch of 1925's in MS66 for 5-10% over melt so I have developed a liking for them. The earlier Victoria pieces are starting to get significant premiums now though. The other I like for the low premiums are the Swiss and French (Rooster) 20 franc pieces.

    I love Sovereigns, but may I ask a serious question? Why bother to have them slabbed? They're just pretty bullion.

    I think they came already slabbed when he bought them. The person who originally slabbed them probably did so as a marketing tool since sovereigns have been heavily counterfeited.

    Perry is correct, I don't get them slabbed, just buy them that way. As long as I buy the 64 and up grades for 10% or less over melt I feel like it is cheap insurance, and hopefully makes it easier to get a realistic price for them if I ever need to sell them. But for the people that do slab them it seems like a smarter thing than slabbing modern Eagles and such.
