I have a small favour.

Could someone please provide a link to an online resource that would enable me to get up to speed on Australian Sovereign etc.

I'm trying to get a handle on size of coins, gold content and so on, so I can compare secondary market prices to bullion spot etc.

Thanks in advance

Semi-newbie lurker here...checked this forum because I was looking for exactly this info. Own gold allready but after some low premium coins thinkin sovs or $200. Checked all the links but silverstackers one is perfect...live gold prices from PM what a peach.

Was hoping to see some info about sovs having wear and being underweight? How much of an issue is this? Buying sovs just over spot i expect to get an old coin with a mintage of a zillion but how concerned do i need to be about it containing less gold than these lists show?
 
Get a set of sovereign scales, it measures weight and dimensions but most established dealers its not a problem
 
I collect Sovereigns and use the following data -

Sovereign Half sovereign 2 sovereign 5 sovereign
Weight 7.9881 grams 3.98 grams 15.98 g 39.94 g
Thickness 1.52mm 0.992 mm nom. 2.0 mm 3.0 mm
Diameter 22.05mm 19.30 mm 28.40 mm 36.02 mm
Fineness 22 carat = 91.67%
Gold Content 7.3224 grams 3.6575 grams 14.63 g 36.6117 g
Sovereigns minted since 1817 have been produced to a standard specification
