Hey there community, I have a couple of items that may interest some. Please send me offers through PM. Thank you!!! FOR SALE 1. 1979 Sovereign Proof Comes in original capsule Weight: 7.98g (22k) Pure gold content of 7.32240g Mintage: 50,000 Postage is additional at your own cost/risk/choice MELBOURNE F2F possible 2. 1980 Half Sovereign Proof SOLD PLEASE NOTE: Both items were purchased from Bullion Now in Melbourne, so have been tested for weight and purity (Can send receipt via email to prove purchase). Unfortunately the previous owner/s, may have slightly mishandled the proof coins and there is a slight haze/fingerprint blemish on both coins (Queen side). Please look closely. If you require more photos send me a PM.
I think In 1980 the gold price spiked to over $800USD!! From memory the gold price spiked to $400-500USD in 1979. From memory it was all on the back of inflation fears.
