British sovereign collecting question

OnlyGoldIsMoney

I purchase half and full sovereigns as bullion. I have a nice group from the 1880's through 1925. Various mintmarks are mixed in.

Did anyone produce coin books or boards to display sovereigns by date similar to those produced by Whitman Publishing for the various US coin series?

wonderfull if you can build a collection of half-sovs from bullion, they are getting rarer to find. I think the are great. Never seen a holder for sovs + halves.

You could probably get a custom holder from Capitol.

I've been s watching for an album or board for some time with no luck. Also sending a PM.

Unless collecting gem quality coins, which require a bit more protection, I'd suggest an Abafil case.

Another option is finding a generic album with blank album pages. Most manufacturers make them.

MacCrimmon, Syracusian and Mr. Eureka, thanks for the suggestions.

Did you ever consider buying historical sovereigns as exciting collectibles? In your signature line, you make clear that you collect rare Quarter Eagles, which tend to cost far above their respective bullion content. Historical English Sovereigns are much more interesting than bullion items.

Thanks. Fortunately I have the Gold Sovereign book. I will need to search out the Half Sovereign Book.

The historical sovereigns sound intriguing. I've considered George III items but have not purchased any. I try to focus on one coin series rather than pursue multiple sets indifferently.

The 1863 proof only QE is a great coin - I will stick with the business strikes, they are difficult enough.

Something to think about, if you are collecting 1880-1925, why not expand the dates a bit and collect all St. George reverses from all the mints from their beginning in 1871 through 1932? Then you can expand even further collecting the Victoria shield backs going back to 1837. Just an idea.

As far as sovereign albums go - this is the closest I've found:
