Joe, Welcome. Sovereigns are just as collectable as anything else. Just some thoughts in no particular order. Sovereigns in low grade, with some exceptions are only worth bullion value. Make sure you know the price of gold, which currently is bearish. So be careful. Sovereigns in high grade, the further you go back, have an intrinsic value that supersedes bullion value. So the price of gold becomes less important. They become less speculative. Unless you understand this you will lose money. So don't be in a hurray. Would suggest you familiarise yourself with Marsh and obtain them if you can. By all means familiarise yourself with prices on ebay. Then be determined not to buy your sovereigns there. Buy the highest grade you can afford. Less is more particularly with gold. Best Mark
