Thanks for watching and I will see you next time!
Thank you for displaying your beautiful 2017 Proof Sovereign. The sovereign’s gold alloy of 22k consists of 91.67% gold + 8.33% copper. This is known as Crown Gold. Its copper content gives it a slightly pinkish hue resembling rose gold. However when gold is alloyed with silver, silver imparts a slightly greenish hue. For examples, Canadian 22k Gold Proof $100 coins from 1977 through 1986 used an alloy of 91.7% gold + 8.3% silver. They have a slightly greenish colouration. The American Gold Eagle alloy is 22k consisting of 91.67% gold, 5.33% copper + 3% silver. When gold is alloyed with both copper & silver, it results is a more balanced yellow colouration.
+Jade Nephrite Thanks for the info, facinating stuff! Im glad you enjoyed the coin and thanks for watching!

2017 is very special. Especially the plain edge and piedfort versions
Ordered my first gold sovereign this week, a 2020.
I only started stacking this year, so I have some backdating to do on this one... as it is a must-have sovereign. They are now £850 on the secondary market already! Quite an outlay, but I'm just gonna have to save up for it.
Lovely gold proof sovereign! Stunning coin! Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Pleasure as always silver saver! Thanks for stopping by!
Very beautiful! Thank you for sharing
Thanks!
Now that design is one of the topsin the world !!! imo !!!
Quite a few people think the same, so it could be a good winner!
Nice video. This will be my first Sovereign. It is en route to me now in Texas, 🇺🇸! Can't wait to get it!
Its a great coin! And the fact there are no regular bullion versions of it will be great for it too!
Very nice coin! I really like the design on this one!
Its pretty amazing, thats why I finally decided to buy it!
Sweet coin thanks for the show. Subd and liked!
S
She is a real beauty and I can't wait till mine gets here...
I still cant understand why they arent all sent out on a single release date! Baffling!
Mine arrived today.....very pleased. Packaging was average from RM. Wish the mintage was far lower for 2017 due to the historical events attached to the year. Am sure this coin will be sold out soon & the investment will pay off.
Everyone who buys a limited mintage proof coin wishes the mintage was lower! But its still pretty good and will be a great coin for an investment in the future!
Awesome :) They are shipping to Denmark! Only 12£ for shipping, not too bad.
I was wondering what do you think about the Quarter-Sovereign 2017? Seems very limited and cool, only 2500 produced.
I think the biggest winner will be the normal sovereign. It is by far the most popular size and weight of all the coins.
Am really pleased I got the 2012 gold proof sovereign too as soon as it was released - only 5500 were minted for The Queens Diamond Jubilee. Very nice sov :)
Very nice proof gold coin !!!
Tis very very nice!
This is next on my list. I really love my 2005 proof however this one is beautiful. I believe they are selling pretty fast too.
I believe they are all sold out directly from the mint! But many dealers will probably have some left I would think!
i ain't really one for buying sovereigns yet. guess the 22ct puts me off prefer the pure stuff. the sovereign along side the beast looks like it a pair of snow washed jeans. design is great and it probably will do well. thx for sharing
It does look different to the 24ct gold! But I still like this a lot!
very nice
+Tony Lee it is great coin! Thanks for watching!
I have this coin too, as well as the Lion of England Proof coin. Only two I have. I know nothing about coins at all, just hoping they are a good investment.
+Sphinx5779 this particular coin will do well I have no doubt!
I rang a dealer today who told me the price he sold one last October for. I was well pleased.
Lovely coin to be sure. Also like your ring :D
Its a great coin, as for the ring - its a very cheap 925 silver ring I got from an Italian street market about 20 years ago!
Italian street market... interesting. It looks quite Celtic in design. Cheers mate!
Yeah it is a celtic design!
I know my subject matter is off for this video but have you seen where before George's 5th b/d sovereign was available then apparently sold out and now miraculously re-appeared as over 75% reserved and able to add to cart. What is the RM doing? Is the coin available or not? Hoping you can shed some light on this for I have only ordered from them a few days ago for the 2018 piedfort, so it hasn't shipped yet and it's coming across the pond to the SW in Arizona. Thanks BB and keep the quality content coming.
Thanks for the video :) Is the box actually wood? I would think it's plastic made to look like wood, but I could be wrong.
+Mitchell without cutting it up I cant say for sure. It feels nice and heavy and of high quality so I would say it is wood covered in a lacqour of some kind and finished
Love your channel man. I'm looking into investing in metals. I like the idea of having something tangible to invest in rather than an account. Recommendations on good places to start? I'm in USA if that helps for any reason. Thanks man!
+RBProductions815 thanks for the compliment my friend.Check out JM bullion, APMEX and Provident metals for a start!
You mentioned in your video some kind of a competition running before November 20th, is there a link? Where can I find out more?
+Will Llawerch sorry must have forgotten to put the link in! th-cam.com/video/JHwF9E47xYM/w-d-xo.html thanks!
Its it worth buging the half and quarter sovereign coins now the full sovereign has sold out? I'm new to sovereign collecting
I would say the main collectors market will be for the full sovereign. Second to them is to buy the double and 5 times sovereign before the smaller denominations. Sucks I know but the collectors will want bigger rather than smaller!
Thankyou for the reply
nice :)
:-)
Lovely coin! Where did you buy it?
www.royalmint.com but you can only purchase if you are in the UK
Unless it was bought at a very good price it will likely fall in value as the years roll on, it's presently important next year it won't be...
+Elliott Holland only time will tell, I think it will do well over 10 years which is why I bought it. Thanks for the comments my friend!
1422 - if you stop the video ... just to let you know ;D
Thanks!
