    Coins that were equivalent in weight and specs at the Gold Sovereign

    Hi all, is there a definitive list of all the gold coins that mimic the gold composition as the gold sovereign? There's a few that I'm aware of, and was wondering if anyone has compiled such a list and attempted to collect them all? South Africa Republic Pond - Kruger Pond...

    Gold Sovereign Brass Scales Saves The Day!

    This was a few weeks ago now, an eBay purchase of a 1900 gold sovereign that didn't feel right. The coin was ever so slightly larger in diameter but the strike and the details on the coin looked pretty legit.

    1952 South Africa £1 Gold - "poor man's KGVI Sovereign"

    Came across this beauty the other day and very stoked to have picked this up. South African £1 pound gold coins were struck to the same specs as the gold sovereign. The sovereigns with KGVI were minted in 1937 and command a hefty premium due to its rarity. The 1952 South African £1 was also a...

    KGIV Gold Sovereign

    Picked up my first King George IV, 1821 London Mint, first year of issue for the KGIV Laureate Head Obverse. What a fantastic coin, in decent condition with some wear on the high points, but mostly all the details are still there. I’ve seen plenty of younger sovs in worse condition than this...

    Is this too good to be true?

    I have recently purchased this Sov for a fairly cheap price. I was sent a couple of photos before I paid for it. I've been looking at the photos whilst I wait for postage and I am slowly convincing myself that I've been ripped off. Looking at the scale of the ruler and doing some calcs the coin...
